The AirAsia Virtual Allstar is part of the airline’s competitive strategy to create more efficient and satisfying customer experiences with elevated personalization. With Ada, AirAsia’s 80 million yearly guests, across 21 countries and 130 destinations, can use their virtual assistant to access real-time flight updates, update account information, and change a booking – all without the need for a live agent.
