AirAsia’s app offers services such as flight and hotel bookings, ecommerce, food and parcel delivery, ride-hailing, financial and health services, and on-demand education. It operates in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, with a total of 51 million users since its establishment in 2020.
Its partnership with Google Cloud will encompass four pillars, including building a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) consisting of experts from both AirAsia and Google Cloud. Another pillar involves AirAsia tapping into Google Cloud’s infrastructure to bolster its app’s reliability as more features and services are added.
The partnership will also see the two firms provide data-driven insights for MSMEs on AirAsia’s platform and develop a suite of software development kits for ecosystem partners.
“With Google’s help, our ecosystem will not only be transactional but be about building community and enriching that community – not just the customers but partners like restaurants, airlines, hotels, and drivers,” said Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A.
