“As border restrictions are lifted, AirAsia wishes to assure its guests of the stringent health and safety protocols enforced on all of our flights with our highly trained and fully vaccinated crew continuing to deliver the world’s best service during the pandemic. We have prepared extensively to ensure all of our guests could travel safely and seamlessly with peace of mind.”

AirAsia Malaysia's flights are not only operated by fully-vaccinated cabin crew and ground staff, but passengers must also be fully vaccinated and it is mandatory to check-in via the airasia Super App.

The airline is also rolling out a facial recognition boarding system that will make the entire travel journey fully digital and contactless.

Fully vaccinated travellers from Malaysia who wish to travel to Thailand must meet the requirements set by the Thai Government prior to purchasing their flights and upon arrival.
