AirAsia MOVE

Thank you Aviation Festival Asia 2025 for giving us an opportunity to represent the voice of an OTA at a conference traditionally dominated by aviation perspectives. On Day 1 (18 Feb), our very own Nikunj Shanti joined the Digital Products Panel, sharing insights on how businesses can stay proactive, personalised, and predictive to meet soaring passenger expectations. He was in great company, discussing alongside Peter Smith of Cover Genius, Aldric Chau of Cathay Pacific, Andy Koh of Singapore Airlines, and Anupam Bokil of FPT Asia Pacific, with the session skillfully moderated by Henry Harteveldt of Atmosphere Research Group. On Day 2 (19 Feb), Nadia Zahir Omer took center stage, starting with a fireside chat with Daniel Friedli of Travel In Motion, where she unpacked how #AirAsiaMOVE is transforming the travel experience through innovation and customer-centric strategies in APAC. Later, she joined a dynamic panel featuring experts which include Gina Khoo of Star Alliance, Chris Engle of Plusgrade, Alexander Blake of Chubb, and Sherif Hosny of SalamAir, diving into ways airlines can reimagine ancillary offerings to meet the expectations of the 2025 APAC traveler. These moments showcased MOVE’s dedication to driving innovation, enhancing the customer journey, and reshaping the future of travel in the region together with all industry players.

Our CEO, Nadia Zahir Omer had a great discussion on the topic of ‘Friend or Foe? Navigating the Role of OTAs in the Tourism Industry’, alongside Yang Li ( 李杨 ), the Head of Public Affairs of Booking.com and Dr. Sri Ganesh Michiel, National President, Malaysia Budget Hotel Association (MyBHA) and moderated by Hannah Pearson, Founding Partner of Pear Anderson at the 2025 ASEAN Tourism Forum in Johor Bahru this morning. Among some of the key points:  1. Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) are indispensable in the modern booking process due to convenience, affordability, and personalization. For example, AirAsia MOVE as an OTA provides seamless trip planning with unique products such as SNAP and the ASEAN Explorer Pass, enabling travelers to save time and access competitive pricing. 2. OTAs also support small businesses and promote sustainability by showcasing eco-friendly options and helping local players gain visibility.  3. As AI and social media transform the travel industry, OTAs must balance innovation, user privacy, and collaboration to stay ahead while delivering value-driven, customer-centric solutions.
