KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 10): Budget carrier AirAsia Bhd is once again named the Best Low Cost Airline at the Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Travel Awards 2015, making it the fourth consecutive win for the airline since the category was introduced in 2012.

In a statement today, AirAsia chief executive officer Aireen Omar said it was an honour to receive the vote of confidence from their guests and Business Traveller's readers.

"This is a reflection of our commitment in providing the best air travel experience for our guests through our most extensive flight network in the region and unrivalled unique offerings.

"Rest assured that we will not rest on our laurels and will continuously innovate to provide the most affordable and seamless travel experiences for all types of travellers.

"Just this year alone we have launched nine new routes, out of which six are unique routes that only AirAsia Group operates on, such as the newly launched direct flights to Goa, India and Sapporo, Japan from Kuala Lumpur," added Aireen.

In the same statement, Business Traveller Asia-Pacific group publisher Iris Kwan said the readers of the magazine have clearly been impressed by AirAsia's continued excellence, thereby once again voting it as the Best Low Cost Airline

"The growth of low-cost travel in the region has resulted in a highly competitive landscape for the LCC business. AirAsia continues to lead the charge by combining attractive fares with outstanding products, an ever-growing network, and consistent service standards.

"The discerning readers of Business Traveller Asia-Pacific have clearly been impressed by AirAsia's continued excellence, and have once again voted it as the Best Low Cost Airline," she said.

Besides this latest award, AirAsia was named World's Best Low Cost Airline for the seventh year running by Skytrax in June.

It was also recently voted as the Best Budget Airline for The Smart Travel Asia's 2015 Best in Travel Poll for the eighth consecutive year. Smart Travel is an online travel magazine.
