With most travellers who board the occasional AirAsia flight, or any other low-cost carrier, there are costs expected for additional frills such as in-flight meals or access to the airport lounge – or surcharges in the event of changed plans. Corporate travellers, however, demand greater flexibility and a wider range of benefits with their travel plans.

AirAsia’s MyCorporate program provides business travellers with the ability to maximise the value of their flight tickets – while enjoying greater flexibility in their travel plans and providing their organisations with additional savings. With the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between AirAsia and the Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA), over 5,000 real estate negotiators across Malaysia gain access to the kind of privileges that used to be exclusively enjoyed by premium travellers – perks such as flight-change flexibility, essential add-ons for extra comfort, more savings with bundled fares, AirAsia BIG points rewards, and dedicated corporate client support.

MIEA President, Eric Lim said “This collaboration with AirAsia is a great milestone for MIEA. AirAsia is the first airline to partner with us and we are thrilled to be working with the World’s Best Low-Cost airline. This collaboration is a good step forward for MIEA as members will have access to special rates and travel conveniences, making it a seamless experience for their business travels.

“We are also focusing our operations within the Asean property market which we believe will grow further leveraging on AirAsia’s connectivity across the region. MIEA is also a member of the Asean Real Estate Network Alliance (ARENA) which represents eight real estate national associations in Asean and this collaboration will enhance our members to play a bigger role in marketing properties in Asean,” he added.

AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat said, “It is great to have an association like MIEA onboard with us that shares the same vision to offer top-notch services for its customers. We are glad to be able to enhance its business operations by allowing members to have more seamless travel experiences while minimising business travel costs through the MyCorporate privileges. As a truly Asean airline, members will be able to leverage on our extensive network across all 10 Asean countries and continue to stimulate the region’s growth.”
