AirAsia Move unveils new travel strategy
BANGKOK: AirAsia Move, which is owned by Capital A Bhd, plans to reshape the travel experience across Asean through bold, forward-thinking strategies that go well beyond traditional booking platforms. Chief executive officer Nadia Omer shared that the company is consistently enhancing its travel app by deepening customer engagement, strengthening regional collaborations, and offering unique, curated experiences tailored to the needs of today's discerning travellers. With domestic and intra-Asean travel on the rise, she noted that AirAsia Move is also championing staycations and affordable regional getaways to meet the evolving preferences of modern explorers. "We're focused on expanding travel opportunities within Thailand, Malaysia and throughout Asean. This year we are seeing a lot of growth in domestic travel and we are promoting staycation as an occasion. "With inter-Asean travel steadily increasing, we are creating affordable shorter vacations and easy-on-the-pocket bundles," she told reporters, after launching AirAsia Move's new tagline 'Travel More for Less' and unveiling a symbolic aircraft livery at the Don Mueang Maintenance Centre in Thailand on Wednesday. Nadia also noted that the company is exploring partnerships to tap into the growing intersection between travel and entertainment. "We're seeing concerts becoming a major travel driver and we're working on partnerships to bundle concert tickets with flights and hotel stays," she said. Nadia said AirAsia Move is partnering with organisations such as Asean Tourism Association and will launch a dedicated travel guide for Asean tourists soon. "It will serve as a one-stop platform for information such as must-visit destinations and visa requirements while also inspiring visitors to discover the hidden gems scattered across Asean," she added. Nadia said the company aspires to become the most loved travel app in Asean within five years by meeting unmet customer needs and creating memorable experiences. "We have a big task ahead, not just to satisfy our customers but to truly delight them and address their needs. It's a challenge for me and my team, but we're ready for it as we want to earn a place in customers' hearts," she said. On the new tagline, Nadia said the initiative underscores AirAsia Move's deepening commitment to Thailand as a core market and reinforces its vision of making travel more affordable and inclusive for all. She noted that Thailand was chosen as the starting point for the new tagline, given its vibrant appeal and strategic role as a major travel hub in the region. "Travellers today want more than just flights. They want flexibility, simplicity and value. And that's exactly what Move is built to deliver – travelling more for less."

Philippines to sue AirAsia Move for ‘economic sabotage' over inflated airfares in typhoon-hit region
MANILA, June 4 — The Philippine government will be filing an economic sabotage case against AirAsia Move. This is after the online travel booking platform was found selling its flight tickets at a much higher rate than they should be. In a statement, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said AirAsia Move has taken advantage of the dire transport situation that was caused by the partial closure of the San Juanico Bridge which was implemented to prevent structural deterioration. As the 2.16km bridge is the primary link between Samar and Leyte islands, the restriction has a major effect on the economy in the region. Vince has highlighted the experience of Richard Gomez, the Leyte 4th District Representative, who has to pay almost PHP40,000 (~RM3,053) for a 1-way ticket from Tacloban to Manila. As a comparison, the actual air fare for the 1 hour 25 minutes is said to be around PHP12,000 (~RM916). The case will be filed by the country's Department of Transport (DOTr) and Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), while the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines will also look into the pricing issue. At the same time, Vince has instructed the Philippine National Police's Anti-Cybercrime Group to shut down access to the AirAsia Move app for the time being. AirAsia Move: We didn't set the price manually Meanwhile, AirAsia Move has provided its side of the story through a statement by its CEO, Nadia Omer. The company said that the discrepancies in the airfare for certain routes, including domestic flights operated by the national carrier Philippine Airlines, were caused by a temporary data synchronisation issue with flight pricing partners. AirAsia Move also pointed out that the pricing discrepancy has also affected other booking platforms such as Agoda, and Traveloka. The company further insists it does not set or manipulate the airfares manually. The statement also highlighted that AirAsia Move has taken immediate action once it noticed the discrepancy by highlighting it to the 3rd party pricing provider. In addition to that, the platform has implemented several measures to prevent such incidents in the near future. — SoyaCincau

AirAsia Denies Manipulating Flight Prices In The Philippines Via Its MOVE App
The AirAsia MOVE app was created to help simplify the travel and booking process. However, the app recently received heat from the Philippine government for allegedly inflating flight prices. According to news reports, the Philippine Ministry of Transportation has ordered the takedown of the AirAsia MOVE website following complaints that it illegally inflated airfares for its flights. One complaint alleged that the digital platform charged 77,000 pesos (approximately RM5,880) for a one-way ticket from Manila to Tacloban City via Philippine Airlines, almost three times the price quoted when directly booking from the airline's website. The cease-and-desist order was issued by the Philippine Civil Aeronautics Board, which sets price ceilings for airfares in the country. The aviation agency claimed that AirAsia MOVE hiked ticket prices following the increase in transportation demand to Tacloban City due to the closure of a key bridge. The authorities may also file a case for 'criminal economic sabotage' against the digital platform. Capital A Berhad and AirAsia MOVE have since issued a statement denying the allegations that they had manipulated airfares. In the statement, the company clarified that the app 'displays flight inventory and pricing data as provided by its authorised upstream suppliers, including third-party aggregators and Global Distribution Systems (GDS)'. Capital A said the discrepancies in airfares were caused by temporary data synchronisation issues with flight pricing partners. It also clarified that the technical discrepancy affected other booking platforms, including Agoda and Traveloka. However, the company said it took immediate steps to correct the pricing after identifying the problems in airfares. It also brought the matter up with the third-party pricing provider for immediate resolution and has taken steps to prevent any future recurrence. There is no news on whether the cease-and-desist order has been lifted. However, Capital A said it's working closely with the relevant authorities and will remain fully compliant with all regulatory requirements set by the Philippine government.
