About AirAsia

AirAsia was established by a government-owned automotive corporation, DRB-HICOM in 1993. In 2001, after garnering USD 11 million in debt, Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun's Tune Air Sdn Bhn bought AirAsia and turned it into one of the fastest-growing airlines in Asia. The company launched routes in its hub in Kuala Lumpur in 2002, and opened a second hub in Senai International Airport in 2003, going after the former monopoly of Malaysia Airlines. 

In the following year, the company opened its affiliate office in Thailand and began flying to Singapore and Indonesia. 20 years ago, a dream took flight - shaping and forever changing the travel industry in Asia. The idea was simple - make flying affordable for everyone.

Salary & benefits

Interns at AirAsia are offered a salary of 10,000 to 12,000 MYR per year. Known as a low-cost airline, AirAsia may not offer the most competitive salary package for its employees, but its employees give a 3.7-star rating for the benefits offered as per Glassdoor.

Career progression

AirAsia is the kind of company that rebuilt itself from a multi-million-dollar debt and is still projecting growth through the years. AirAsia may not offer the most competitive salary package for its employees, but it brings an immersive work experience to its employees. 

Today, the company is looking for leaders who will stay with AirAsia for a long time and help lead AirAsia to become one of the best airlines in the region. Since the salary package is not as competitive as other airlines in the world, junior executives often find greener pastures in bigger airlines.
