KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) -- AirAsia MOVE, the region’s leading OTA continues to expand its list of airline partners by onboarding Air Mauritius, the national airline of the island of Mauritius as its latest direct airline partner. 

The partnership between AirAsia MOVE and Air Mauritius was formalised at a signing ceremony between Yeoh Sai Ho, Head of Flights OTA at AirAsia MOVE and Heavin Robert Lourdasamy, Manager, Malaysia & Singapore of Air Mauritius at AirAsia MOVE’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur recently. 

In line with AirAsia MOVE’s vision to be ASEAN’s favourite travel companion by creating inclusive and delightful journeys, this partnership empowers travellers with a wide array of services on the AirAsia MOVE app and effortlessly book flights to exciting destinations served by Air Mauritius across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian Ocean region. 

Dabraj Sing, Chief Business Officer of AirAsia MOVE, in expressing his enthusiasm for the partnership, said: “We are delighted to have Air Mauritius as one of the notable global carriers on our direct airline partners list. Thank you for giving AirAsia MOVE the trust to market your extensive route network spanning many continents to the over 15 million monthly active users on our platform. 

“Airlines that partner directly with AirAsia MOVE can leverage on our extensive marketing initiatives and reach a much wider audience without any extra costs, aside from providing their guests with convenience as our AirAsia MOVE platform enables virtual interlining where travellers can book multiple carriers in one itinerary.
