AirAsia scores 10/10 in 42kft.com’s global sustainability rankings
AirAsia scored a straight 10 out of 10 score in the aviation industry’s first comprehensive, data-driven sustainability audit conducted by 42kft.com. Recognised among only 25 top-performing carriers out of 142 airlines evaluated worldwide, AirAsia’s achievement underscores its leadership in sustainable aviation. Conducted by a platform founded by aviation industry specialists, the rigorous assessment evaluates airlines on the basis of nine criteria. These include fleet modernisation, adoption of cutting-edge technologies, implementation of fuel efficiency innovations, investment in next generation fuel sources, carbon offsetting initiatives, and transparent sustainability reporting. Beyond mere pledges 42kft.com chief executive Geoffrey Thomas lauded AirAsia’s performance in the audit. Thomas said: “AirAsia’s standout performance reflects its sweeping commitment to sustainability across fleet renewal, alternative fuels, waste reduction and more. The AirAsia Group scores exceptionally well across every environmental metric. It is without doubt one of the global leaders in eco-conscious aviation.” With regard to the significance of the audit, Thomas explained that the assessment goes beyond vague climate pledges to measure real-world action. He said: “Pledges such as ‘Net Zero by 2050’ are considered baseline expectations, not distinguishing factors. With these rankings, we are honouring real, measurable commitments to reducing carbon emissions.” AirAsia’s chief sustainability officer Yap Mun Ching expressed the airline’s gratitude for the recognition by saying: “This accolade validates the breadth of our sustainability efforts, acknowledging not just our achievements but also the unique challenges we navigate in our region. From adapting to diverse regulatory frameworks to balancing global standards with local realities, our approach has been both strategic and inclusive.” Yap further highlighted AirAsia’s leadership role in shaping sustainable aviation policy, including chairing Malaysia’s National Task Force on Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and serving as a technical expert on the International Civil Aviation Organization’s working group on CORSIA. She said: “We actively engage stakeholders across the transport and environmental sectors to align industry practices with climate goals. On the global stage, we advocate for regional perspectives in multilateral forums to ensure equitable and effective sustainability policies.” Findings from the 2024 sustainability report The 42kft.com announcement coincides with the release of the Capital A’s Sustainability Report 2024, detailing AirAsia’s strides in reducing its environmental footprint. Key highlights include: Record-low carbon intensities: Emissions per seat (gCO2/ASK) fell to 63.7 and emissions per passenger (gCO2/RPK) to 72.3, achieved through more than 20 operational efficiency measures that avoided 129,189 tonnes of CO2 and saved US$34 million in fuel costs. Ground operations innovation: AirAsia deployed its first four combo units (integrated ground power and air conditioning system) at KLIA2, reducing the need for aircraft engines to power parked planes. Upon full rollout, these units are projected to cut 1% of AirAsia’s CO2 emissions. Strategic partnerships: Collaborating with Airbus, AirAsia is advancing sustainable aviation research in Asean, specifically into alternative sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock development and innovative air traffic management solutions. AirAsia also joined Heart Aerospace’s Industry Advisory Board to support commercialisation of hybrid-electric aircraft.
Women Travelers in Asia are Driving the New Hospitality Trends in 2025: Agoda
Representative Image Agoda recently unveiled the top women’s travel trends in Asia revealing that women across Asia are charting a different course than their male counterparts when it comes to holiday plans. From a stronger appetite for new destinations to a preference for traveling with family and friends, women travellers are reshaping travel preferences in ways that are directly influencing the hospitality landscape. As Agoda celebrates 20 years of empowering hoteliers to stay ahead of changing travel trends and guest expectations, these insights serve as a timely reminder for hoteliers of the need to constantly adapt to an increasingly dynamic and diverse market. Women love travelling to culturally immersive destinations According to Agoda’s latest report, 60% of women in Asia prioritize exploring lesser-known and culturally immersive destinations. Indian and Indonesian women are leading this trend, with 80% and 69% respectively eager to discover new places that offer different cultural experiences. The Agoda data also highlights a strong preference for group travel among women. Some 40% of Asian women prefer to travel with family, compared to just 28% of men. In markets like Indonesia, an impressive 68% of women favour family trips—underscoring the importance of multigenerational travel and spending quality time with loved ones. Traveling with friends is another area where women outpace men – just under a third of Japanese women (29%) prioritize this followed by a quarter of Indian women (25%). While group travel is popular, solo adventures are also an important part of women’s travel trends. The Agoda study found that men still take more solo trips than women (24% of men vs 15% of women). However, there are pockets of growth in solo women travel. Women in Hong Kong and Thailand are the most likely in Asia to embark on solo journeys. Other reports reveal that 62% of women aged 18 to 25 are drawn to solo travel as a way to step beyond their comfort zones. According to government travel advisories, top-ranked countries for safe solo women travel include Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Nordic countries, Spain, Singapore, and the UK. Getting away for a holiday on every short break Research also shows that women travellers are increasingly choosing to book short trips more frequently rather than long annual breaks. An industry report indicates the percentage of women taking two trips in the first quarter of 2025 has nearly doubled to 35%, from just 18% in early 2020. This points to women using long weekends and off-peak periods to get away more often, rather than saving all travel for a single annual vacation. “It’s clear that women are playing an increasingly influential role in all travel decisions,” said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda. “Armed with data on women’s booking behaviours and preferences, hospitality leaders have a timely opportunity to reassess their approach to guest management. By proactively tailoring offerings to women travellers’ preferences, hotels can deliver exceptional guest experiences and secure loyalty from a demographic that is set to reshape travel in Asia. Embracing these trends can help position your business in a fast-moving travel landscape.” Agoda’s report makes it clear that adapting to women travel trends is not just about good service—it’s about aligning with what is now a core driver of the travel economy. Hoteliers should consider the following focus areas, informed by the latest Agoda insights: Develop experiences involving unique local activities and showcase lesser-known attractions. Women’s interest in discovering new destinations signals demand for boutique tours, cultural workshops, and “hidden gem” recommendations beyond the typical tourist itinerary. Highlight emerging tour products such as premium women-only tours. For instance, tour operators are now designing experiences exclusively for women travellers. One such tour takes participants to Peru, where they can meet Quechua weavers in the Sacred Valley. Another itinerary in Morocco features a baking class at a local women’s cooperative, empowering female chefs and offering an immersive cultural experience. Build trust with solo women travellers by ensuring a 24/7 security presence, well-lit common areas, secure access floors, and options like women-only floors or female dormitories in hostels. Training staff to be attentive to solo female guests’ needs and offering concierge guidance for safe local exploration can further set your property apart. Additionally, consider offering more safe and reliable transfer options with trusted providers for women travelling solo, especially after-dark airport transfers. Women often invest more in personal care essentials from hair and skincare to fragrances and beauty tools. Stock up on popular items like hair straighteners, curlers, and high-powered dryers, along with everyday must-haves such as quality irons, makeup and nail polish removers. Consider making a feature of high-quality complimentary soaps and shampoos. As women in Asia continue to embrace travel in 2025, Agoda offers a wide range of options to suit their diverse preferences. With over 5 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities, Agoda provides endless possibilities for creating unforgettable travel experiences. Adding to the excitement, Agoda celebrates its 20th anniversary with a special birthday campaign from May 7–20, offering travellers up to 60% off, followed by exclusive discounts reaching 70% on May 21.
AirAsia’s branding expansion leads to golf industry team-up
Asian low-cost carrier AirAsia Group recently expanded its partnership with the golf industry in the name of branding expansion. Indeed, the airline just signed a new partnership with Ripper GC, one of the 13 teams in the LIV Golf League. Airline officials said the two companies have a common goal to grow the sport together, engage with new golf enthusiasts and potential passengers, and deliver an even more exciting 2025 season. Ripper GC captain Cameron Smith shared his experiences from his career playing on the Australian and Asian Tours and said he was delighted to partner with AirAsia. Smith said: “When I started my career, and still today, one of the biggest barriers for new golfers is air travel. I am grateful that AirAsia is helping to give a new generation of golfers the opportunity to realize their dreams.” For his part, AirAsia Brands chief executive Rudy Khaw added: “At AirAsia Group, our motto is to make air travel accessible to more people. By partnering with Ripper GC, which won the Team Championship last year, AirAsia is able to support the future of the sport alongside a world-class golf team, which is an ideal brand value for us.” Under the partnership, Ripper GC players will wear caps with the AirAsia logo at all LIV Golf events in the 2025 season. Both AirAsia and Ripper GC are looking forward to more partnership activities in the future. What is LIV Golf? LIV Golf is a new tour which launched in 2022 that features both individual and team competitions. Unlike traditional golf tours, each hole begins with a “shotgun start,” with players scattered across the course and teeing off simultaneously, and the relatively fast-paced format of the three-day event has created a buzz among golf fans in a short time. Ripper GC, likewise, is a team of proven players including Matt Jones, Marc Leishman, and Lucas Herbert, along with captain Cameron Smith, that has been impressive in the highly competitive LIV golf scene. During last year's season, the team recorded four team victories and secured the team championship title. LIV Golf Korea, which takes place from 2nd to 4th May at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon, is the first LIV Golf event to be held in South Korea and is already generating a lot of interest. The Ripper GC team, winners of last year's team championship, will be looking to repeat their victory at LIV Golf Korea 2025 this week. As part of the partnership announcement, AirAsia fares to Seoul in South Korea are currently on sale, starting from AU$381, till Sunday, 4th May.
Asia-Pacific airlines saw 9.6% YOY demand growth for air cargo in March: IATA
Representative Image The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for March 2025 global air cargo markets showing that the total demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK), increased by 4.4% compared to March 2024 levels (+5.5% for international operations), a historic peak for March. Capacity, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTK), expanded by 4.3% compared to March 2024 (+6.1% for international operations). “March cargo volumes were strong. It is possible that this is partly a front-loading of demand as some businesses tried to beat the well-telegraphed 2 April tariff announcement by the Trump Administration. The uncertainty over how much of the 2 April proposals will be implemented may eventually weigh on trade. In the meantime, the lower fuel costs—which are also a result of the same uncertainty—are a short-term positive factor for air cargo. And, within the temporary pause on implementation we hope that political leaders will be able to shift trade tensions to reliable agreements that can restore confidence in global supply chains,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General. Several factors in the operating environment should be noted: March volumes typically rise after a lull in February, and this single-digit increase is in line with pre-COVID growth trends. Jet fuel prices dropped 17.3% year-on-year, marking nine straight months of year-on-year declines. The sharp rise in US tariffs and new trade rules, especially the 2 May ban on duty-free imports from China and Hong Kong, may have prompted companies and buyers to make purchases in advance to avoid significant import fees. World industrial output grew 3.2% year-on-year, and trade volumes expanded 2.9%. Many key Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) indices fell: US inflation was 2.4%, down 0.4 points from February, EU CPI was 2.5% and Japan’s rate fell 0.1% to 3.6%. China remains in deflation but this eased to -0.1%.

European carriers saw a 4.5% year-on-year increase in demand growth for air cargo in March. Capacity increased 2.0% year-on-year. Middle Eastern carriers saw a -3.2% year-on-year decrease in demand growth for air cargo in March. Capacity increased by 0.8% year-on-year. It’s possible the weakness in this market is due to year-on-year comparison with the strong growth at the start of 2024 resulting from disruption to Red Sea maritime freight. Latin American carriers saw 5.8% year-on-year demand growth for air cargo in March. Capacity increased 4.7% year-on-year. African airlines saw a -13.4% year-on-year decrease in demand for air cargo in March, the slowest among the regions. Capacity increased by 10.5% year-on-year. Trade Lane Growth: The Europe-North America route was the busiest trade lane in March. The largest trade lane by market share, Asia-North America, also grew strongly, possibly encouraged by front-loading shipments ahead of potential increased tariffs. Europe-Middle East and Africa-Asia were the only trade lanes to decline in March.

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and AirAsia MOVE signed a strategic partnership on Thursday, 17th April. This agreement which was formalised with a Letter of Cooperation seeks to create better travel experiences for visitors to Singapore, with a focus on key Southeast Asian markets like Malaysia and Thailand.

A joint campaign is set to launch in the third quarter of this year spotlighting Singapore’s vibrant offerings and enhancing visibility among regional travellers. STB’s assistant chief executive for its international group Juliana Kua said: “Southeast Asian travellers have diverse needs and interests, and many are familiar with Singapore. To get them to return or do more, we need a more personalised and data-driven approach. That is why we are delighted to partner AirAsia MOVE: to leverage their insights and capabilities to deliver better experiences and to help travellers maximise their time in Singapore.” For her part, AirAsia MOVE CEO Nadia Omer said: “Our collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board underscores AirAsia MOVE’s commitment to driving regional travel growth through innovation and strategic partnerships. By leveraging our digital ecosystem and consumer insights, we aim to enhance conversion and engagement while simplifying travel planning to Singapore. This synergy allows us to jointly unlock new opportunities in key markets like Malaysia and Thailand, and deliver greater value to both travellers and tourism stakeholders.” Partners in transformation The partnership between STB and AirAsia MOVE aims to transform how visitors discover and experience destination Singapore. Travellers will be served more personalised recommendations, from popular attractions to experiential activities, based on their interests. This would be powered by joint insights from AirAsia MOVE and STB’s data on various user groups. The partnership is set to cast the spotlight on exciting events, must-visit places, and unique local experiences that make Singapore special, ensuring there's always something new to discover for both first-timers and repeat visitors. To make holiday planning easier, visitors can find the latest information about Singapore's events, accommodations, and activities directly through AirAsia MOVE.
Meetingselect’s Meeting Booking Widget makes its Asia-Pacific debut
Global meeting management platform Meetingselect officially launched its Meeting Booking Widget in the Asia-Pacific region, with the technology making its debut at Novotel Singapore on Stevens. The Meeting Booking Widget’s launch complements Meetingselect’s broader strategic growth in the APAC region. While the company continues to expand its core platform offerings throughout Asia-Pacific, the Meeting Booking Widget represents an auxiliary product that enhances the digital capabilities of individual venues, enabling them to adopt self-service booking technology directly on their own sites. Novotel general manager Piotr Kupiec declared at the launch: “This partnership with Meetingselect is more than a technological integration. It’s a continuation of our vision to position Novotel Singapore on Stevens as Singapore’s preferred destination for dynamic, digitally driven meetings and events.” For her part, Meetingselect founder and chief product officer Judith Huisman said: “The booking of a meeting room or an event space has now become just as easy as a restaurant reservation. Our Meeting Booking Widget supports a customer-friendly web booking experience to boost productivity and automate internal operations. This simple web solution revolutionizes how hotels and venues handle reservations for meeting rooms and event spaces. Planners can easily search and book space and select food and beverage items, and amenities directly from the owner's website. Novotel Singapore on Stevens leads the way by driving innovation with meetings technology in Singapore’s Meetings & Events Industry.” What the widget can do for the hospitality sector The Meeting Booking Widget enables venues to offer meeting room reservations directly on their websites through a fully white-labelled and seamlessly embedded interface. With real-time availability, transparent pricing, and instant confirmation, planners can now search, book, and customise meeting spaces as intuitively as making a restaurant reservation. Especially designed to meet the needs of Asia-Pacific venues, the widget supports multi-language capabilities, customisable F&B selections, and integrated payment options, streamlining internal operations while enhancing the end-user experience. These features are particularly well-suited to the fast-paced and culturally diverse APAC events landscape.
Win Min is new general manager of The Eastern & Oriental Express in Southeast Asia
The Eastern & Oriental Express (E&O), A Belmond Train, Southeast Asia has announced the appointment of Win Min as its new general manager. Win Min joins E&O from Residence Phou Vao where he was interim general manager and he takes on his new post immediately. Belmond senior vice-president of trains and cruises Gary Franklin said: "We are excited to welcome Win into his next step with Belmond.

The Meetings Show Asia Pacific marks a successful return to Singapore
The Meetings Show Asia Pacific made a successful return to Singapore for 2025, solidifying its reputation as a key anchor event for the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) industry within Asia and the Pacific. Building on the momentum of its debut last year, this vibrant second run brought together MICE professionals from in and around the region on 16th and 17th April at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre. The Meetings Show was made even more exciting by the presence of close to 300 dynamic exhibitors, a strong Hosted Buyer Programme, as well as a number of curated knowledge sessions that presented key insights regarding the industry. The event was held concurrently with the first-ever Business Travel Show Asia Pacific, another gathering that drew in professionals from the field of corporate travel, along with senior buyers and preeminent suppliers for a highly insightful conference. In total, the joint conventions welcomed 1,773 attendees from over 72 countries, including 347 hosted buyers. Exhibitors and buyers alike were enthusiastic about the high quality of engagement and meaningful connections made throughout the show floor. The 2025 edition of The Meetings Show recorded growth of around 35 percent over its debut year, reflecting broader participation, richer programming, and deeper regional involvement. On enduring relevance and support Northstar Travel Group chief executive Jason Young remarked during the opening of the dual event: “For more than 80 years, our brands have been the trusted voice of the travel and tourism industry. Our market-leading events and media products are relied upon by the most important professional audiences that drive the US$2 trillion travel market across the MICE, corporate and leisure segments. We truly embrace our role as the champion of travel.” Young added that the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties have made travel more important and more essential than ever before because it brings communities together and makes business happen. He said: “That's why we are here: to bring communities together and to make business happen. We couldn't be more bullish and excited about the opportunity that The Meetings Show Asia Pacific brings.” Ong Huey Hong, assistant chief executive of the industry development group and chief sustainability officer of the Singapore Tourism Board, likewise expressed her enthusiasm over the event. She said: “It is with great pleasure and excitement that we get to witness not only the growth of the second edition of The Meetings Show Asia Pacific, but also the inaugural launch of BTS APAC in Singapore. The co-location of the two events will form an even stronger gateway to quality connections and insightful sessions tailored to the meetings and corporate travel sectors.” Ong further pointed out that Singapore aims to triple its MICE tourism receipts by 2040 despite the uncertainty regarding the global economy at present. She added: “It is too early to determine the impact on our business; in the meantime, we will continue working towards our target by building on our leadership position and unwavering commitment to excellence. We have a robust pipeline of events leveraging the range of vibrant industries in Singapore, and will refresh our hardware and software to support this growth.”
Emirates SkyCargo signs understanding with AirAsia’s Teleport
Emirates SkyCargo formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AirAsia cargo partner Teleport. The partnership aims to better support the burgeoning trade between Southeast Asia and the wider world, via Dubai. The agreement was signed at the currently ongoing IATA World Cargo Symposium in Dubai by Emirates SkyCargo’s divisional senior vice-president Badr Abbas and Teleport chief executive Pete Chareonwongsak. Under the terms of the MoU, Emirates SkyCargo and Teleport will work closely on a number of initiatives, which include expanding cargo interline options and block space agreements, to enhance connectivity and boost the reach of ASEAN businesses. Necessary for growth Southeast Asia and the wider Asian continent are the backbone of global manufacturing, particularly for electronics, smart gadgets, fashion and textiles, machines, automobiles and pharmaceuticals. The partnership is set to support the world’s shifting supply chains, as Southeast Asia continues building its manufacturing and logistics capabilities. Southeast Asia outbound air cargo in 2024 amounted to around 2.5 million tonnes with greater flows expected to the Middle East and Europe, supported by manufacturing expansion, eCommerce, and improved infrastructure. In recent years, the UAE and Southeast Asian countries have solidified their economic and bilateral relationship, with Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA) signed between the UAE and Malaysia, Indonesia and Cambodia, with Vietnam and Thailand expected to follow. The agreement between Emirates SkyCargo and Teleport supports these prosperous relationships and lays a foundation for further growth, by improving trade flows and generating new opportunities that help strengthen global economies. What this means for both regions Teleport exclusively consolidates the bellyhold capacity of all AirAsia’s short and medium-haul airline operations across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia into a single, largest air logistics network in Southeast Asia, together with three dedicated freighter services and 40+ other airlines. Combined, this expands Emirates SkyCargo’s reach into over 100 destinations beyond primary, but also into both secondary and tertiary airports in the Southeast Asian region. Conversely, Teleport will benefit from Emirates’ vast global network of over 145 destinations with a particular focus on key destinations in Europe, Africa and the US. Commenting on the partnership, Abbas said: “For almost 35 years, we have proudly served Southeast Asia, keeping goods flowing quickly, reliably and efficiently. This strategic partnership with Teleport and the AirAsia Group of airlines is an evolution of that commitment, enabling us to better serve our customers with increased capacity, more flexibility and access into new markets in Asia, combined with enhanced connectivity across our vast global network.” Chareonwongsak added, “2025 is a year of global scale for Teleport as we strengthen our Teleport Network reach and capacity to better meet the growing global demands of eCommerce. Our partnership with Emirates, which is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia for them, is a source of great pride as we collaborate with a leading global partner. This will enable the expansion of both our respective air networks, supporting Southeast Asia’s growing exports and facilitating the movement of eCommerce from China, through our connectivity beyond Southeast Asia, to the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Ecommerce is expected to double its share of Southeast Asia’s air cargo volumes from 11 percent to 20 percent by 2029, driven by lightweight, high-frequency shipments replacing bulk freight and the rise in demand for express delivery. With a shared commitment to provide faster, more efficient, and reliable cross-border air cargo services, this partnership enhances our combined capabilities to capture global market opportunities.”
