SINGAPORE – AirAsia’s food delivery service, airasia food, today officially entered the Singaporean market, offering consumers unlimited free deliveries up till March 16 for areas within 8km of the ordering point.
“Our expansion into Singapore is a key milestone for the airasia super app, which has been Asean’s fastest-growing e-commerce platform since it was launched last year,” said AirAsia Group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes in a statement.
“With at least 50% of Singaporeans eating out every day, and a staggering 2.7 million active online food delivery users in 2020, we are thrilled to be a notable player in the food delivery scene in Singapore.”

“We continue to welcome more food-and-beverage operators to join us, and airasia food will provide dedicated teams that will on-board merchants and enable them to go live within 48 hours, with no registration or set-up fees,” said airasia super app head of e-commerce Lim Ben-Jie.
