Travellers using airline apps have a few enhancements with AirAsia’s version.

The new enhancements for AirAsia’s mobile app include a new interactive map, new flight chat rooms, easy access to boarding passes and more. The app is available for iOS and Android devices and utilizes a new guest-centric approach to improve performance and give passengers a better experience overall.

Every existing feature on the app is being refined and optimized, while a slew of new features give passengers new ways to use the app. One of the new features is flight chat rooms. When check-in service opens, guests can chat with others on the same flight to get familiar with fellow travellers. AirAsia also added Apple e-wallet compatibility, so boarding passes are always available.

“We believe these new people-centric features will make planning and booking a trip easier and more enjoyable for our guests. We will continue to invest in initiatives that deliver a more personalised touch and we look forward to observing how our guests interact with us and fellow travellers,” said Karen Chan, chief commercial officer, AirAsia Group.

The app is available for download now.
