AirAsia MOVE Wins Asia’s Best Travel Booking App for the Third Straight Year

 AirAsia MOVE (MOVE) proudly marks another milestone after being named Asia’s Best Travel Booking App at the World Travel Tech Awards 2025—for the third consecutive year. This achievement makes MOVE the first ASEAN-born online travel agent (OTA) to earn this prestigious recognition three years in a row, further strengthening its position as one of the region’s leading homegrown digital travel platforms.

This continued recognition is driven by MOVE’s strong year-on-year growth in 2025. The platform now maintains an impressive 15 million monthly active users, alongside sustained increases in bookings across key verticals. Hotel bookings grew by nearly 40%, while SNAP (Flight + Hotel) bundle bookings rose by 30%, with Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Kota Kinabalu emerging as the most popular SNAP destinations.

In 2025, MOVE also significantly broadened its reach by welcoming new airline partners to its growing network, including SriLankan Airlines, Royal Brunei, Ethiopian Airlines, and Vietjet Air (via GalaxyJoy). With these additions, MOVE now works with over 70 direct airline partners, giving travellers more choices and greater connectivity.

Nadia Omer, CEO of AirAsia MOVE said, “Winning this award for the third consecutive year is a meaningful recognition of what we are building, a travel platform born in Asean, made for Asean and now serving Asia and beyond. We have completely evolved from an airline app into a truly global, multi-airline, multi-product OTA, while staying consistent to our vision to be Asean’s favourite travel app by creating inclusive, fun and affordable journeys. This year, we’ve also strengthened regional partnerships by working closely with tourism authorities in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Dubai Tourism to drive travel growth together. 

This award is also a testament towards the hard work that each and every Allstar at MOVE has put in. With expanding airline options, deeper collaborations and enhanced user experiences, we’ll continue helping travellers to discover more, plan better and travel more, for less.” 

Looking ahead, MOVE’s next phase will be powered by a refreshed app interface, enhanced AI-driven AskBo chatbot, and innovative features such as MOVETIX, its global live-events ticketing platform, and Cancel for Any Reason. The platform will also focus on social discovery, allowing users to find travel inspiration through content and seamlessly book everything in one place. With access to over 700 airlines and more than one million hotels worldwide, MOVE continues to position itself as a platform that keeps travellers curious, connected, and inspired.
