AirAsia states that it always prioritizes the safety and health of passengers and employees, and works closely with relevant authorities, local governments, civil aviation authorities, and health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to ensure that each flight complies with regulations.
AirAsia advises passengers to take basic precautions such as wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and practicing good personal hygiene. The airline also states that it conducts disinfection procedures after every flight, even though its cabins are equipped with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) filters—ultra-high-performance filters used in clean rooms.

Let’s stay calm and tackle the COVID-19 crisis together. Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, Malaysia announced an “Movement Control Order” from March 18 to March 31, effective from March 16 at 22:00 (23:00 Japan Time). In short, this order prohibits foreigners from entering the country and prevents Malaysian citizens from leaving.
