Tony Fernandes says AirAsia plans to build a ‘low-cost unicorn’ super app for Southeast Asia

Despite the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global aviation, the boss of AirAsia says the Malaysia-based regional budget carrier is plotting a new course for expanding into Southeast Asia’s crowded field of so-called super apps. Company CEO Tony Fernandes says he sees AirAsia build a “low-cost unicorn” around an app that would serve as a one-stop shop for everything from travel bookings, to ride hailing and food delivery.
