AirAsia Philippines is among the top 20 Covid-compliant airlines for 2021, a company official said, citing data from international airline safety ranking organization AirlineRatings.
Ricky Isla, the company’s CEO, said AirAsia Philippines received a perfect 7-star rating for Covid-19 compliance and a safety rating of 6 out of 7 seven stars on the safety ranking organization’s study.
“Safety has always been the core of AirAsia’s business. Along with the company’s efforts to restore confidence in air travel, we make sure to continuously communicate essential information to our guests to improve customer experience and satisfaction,” Isla said.
AirlineRatings reviews airlines based on seven criteria including web site information on Covid-19 procedures, the wearing of face masks, personal protection equipment for the crew, modified meal service, regular deep cleaning of aircraft and personal sanitizer kits.
The organization also commanded AirAsia’s safety protocols, calling them “above and beyond in the protection of passengers.”
AirAsia was one of the first to develop self check-in kiosks for contactless transactions, and was among the first airlines to encourage the use of Traze App and the strict implementation of contact tracing forms for all passengers.
