Tech in Asia has reached out to CDG for more information.
CDG launched Zig in March 2021, centering the app around “lifestyle and mobility.” It provided route suggestions and gave its users the option to book a CDG taxi.
Zig also offered restaurant booking services through its partner Chope, activities and hotel stays via Klook, as well as online ordering for store pick-ups.

Zig’s launch came after Lazada and CDG made taxi booking services available on the former’s ecommerce platform. A spokesperson for Lazada previously told Tech in Asia that the partnership will see direct app integration between the two companies.
