PETALING JAYA: AirAsia has been awarded the inaugural "Best Low-Cost Airline," a new category introduced by Business Traveller Asia-Pacific at the ceremony in Hong Kong. The category was introduced in recognition of the growing force of budget carriers and AirAsia.

AirAsia Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said in a statement that it was an honour for AirAsia to be the first recipient of the prestigious award. “As usual, an award win will not make us complacent. We will continue with our efforts to maintain our leadership spot by being cost effective and uphold our pledge in presenting our guests with unbeatable low fares and exceptional products and services,'' the statement said.

Business Traveller Asia-Pacific had sent out poll forms to subscribers who are regarded as some of the region's most experienced frequent travellers between April and June.
