KOTA KINABALU, 1 JULY 2021 - The people of Sabah especially those around Kota Kinabalu will be among the first  in East Malaysia to enjoy exciting offerings from airasia food and airasia fresh as the  airasia super app’s  food delivery and groceries shopping services make their debut here today. 

The expansion of airasia food and airasia fresh into Kota Kinabalu is seen as a boost at helping the recovery of the local economy by creating more job opportunities, enabling local businesses to earn more through the lowest commission rates in the market and offering consumers better value for their money. 

Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun, State Minister of Local Government and Housing Sabah & State Minister of Finance II Sabah officially launched both airasia food and airasia fresh through an online event today, which is also attended by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, CEO of airasia Group.  

In conjunction with the launch today, airasia food is offering FREE MEALS from 1 - 6 July 2021, while the first 500 customers for airasia fresh will receive RM10 off with this promo code: AADELIVERSKK. Order today by clicking on the ‘Food’ or ‘Fresh’ icon on the airasia super app or visit airasia.com/food and airasia.com/fresh. 

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, CEO of airasia Group said, “Sabah and Kota Kinabalu in particular always hold a special place in our heart. Sabah has always been a popular market for airasia and the expansion of our e-commerce lifestyle services here reaffirms our commitment to the region. Not only are we providing great value fresh food and delivery, today’s launch also means the creation of employment opportunities for more people in Sabah and brings significant benefits to farmers, suppliers and businesses. We would like to see more local entrepreneurs, restaurant owners and grocery suppliers be part of the airasia super app and tap into our rich database and extensive market access as Asean’s fastest growing super app. 

“In the larger context, launching airasia fresh in Kota Kinabalu complements our bigger agri and logistics project for Sabah through airasia farm - our B2B platform connecting farmers directly to businesses, providing an ideal ecosystem in terms of supply chain and distribution for fresh produce within Sabah and for export. On that note, I am pleased to confirm that we will soon have a 6,000 square feet warehouse by airasia farm up and running in Kota Kinabalu, serving as a 3-in-1 Agri Centre with cold chain facility, office space and a dedicated training area that will benefit local farmers and SMEs in Sabah to upskill and transform in the digital era. Thank you Sabahans for your unwavering support always.” 

Lim Ben-Jie, Head of e-commerce for airasia super app said, “The ongoing pandemic has shifted consumer behaviour and people of Kota Kinabalu are no different. With 91.4% internet penetration in this city, it is only apt for us to introduce airasia food and airasia fresh to Kota Kinabalu as a compelling e-commerce shopping and delivery service for consumers. We are pleased to offer merchants our zero listing fee policy as well as lowest commission rate of only 15% on airasia food and 5% on airasia fresh. We are currently hiring local drivers and delivery agents to join us painting Kota Kinabalu red with our airasia delivery squad.”
