As the effects of the pandemic eases and the government relaxes community
quarantine restrictions to allow Filipinos to travel more, GCash, the country’s no. 1
mobile wallet app, and Airasia, the world’s best low-cost airline and Asean’s growing
superapp, has announced their timely partnership to deliver safety and convenience to
travelers when paying for their flight, hotel bookings and travel retail items.
The partnership will let customers pay for their Airasia plane fare and accommodation in
partner hotels simply by using the GCash apps on their mobile phones. They can also
opt for contactless payment using the GCash app at airasia counters. Plus, there’s a
host of exciting offers and discounts that await customers to mark the launch of this
partnership.
“At GCash, we have pioneered a number of digital payment innovations to help Filipinos
during the pandemic, and this partnership with Airasia is a continuation of its thrust to
provide users with safe and convenient payment solutions. Airasia supports this thrust
as it continues to provide its customers with convenience and safety when flying with
them,” said Martha Sazon, GCash President and Chief Executive Officer. “With this
partnership, GCash users can now enjoy exclusive exciting promo offers from airasia.”
For Airasia, which has made flying accessible to a greater number of Filipinos through
its low-cost plane fare offers, the partnership will bring safe and affordable travel even
more within reach of Pinoys through the exciting promo offers and discounts that will be
available exclusively to GCash’s over 40 million users.
“Providing convenience through digital and contactless solutions while observing the
highest standards of safety has always been Airasia’s commitment to our guests. Our
partnership with Gcash, the country’s leading e-wallet empowers our guests with flexible
cashless options as we all gear up to fly again to our favorite leisure destinations. This
is also an added convenience that makes the airasia super app even more appealing to
the consumer as the fastest growing super app in Asean. We look forward to
strengthening this partnership with GCash as airasia continues to embark on its journey
to becoming more than just an airline,” said Ricky Isla, airasia Philippines chief
executive officer.
