This week, leading consumer aviation rating agency Skytrax, named AirAsia the best low-cost airline in the world for the ninth consecutive year.

The Sepang-based company was presented with the award at a ceremony during the 2017 Paris Airshow.

"Over the last 15 years we have created a great brand and over the next 15, we want to move towards One AirAsia, a truly (Southeast Asian) airline."

The Skytrax rankings are based on the impressions of 19.87 million travelers from 105 different countries. The survey, which covered more than 325 airlines, measured 49 parameters ranging from boarding procedures to seat comfort to the quality of service.
