AirAsia Enters the Metaverse: Launches “AirAsia World” on Roblox to Revolutionize Travel Engagement

A Bold Leap into the Digital Future

In a game-changing move for aviation and digital engagement, AirAsia has launched AirAsia World on Roblox, one of the world’s largest online gaming platforms. Designed as an immersive, gamified experience, this virtual world redefines how users—especially the next generation of travelers—connect with Southeast Asia’s rich cultural heritage.

As airlines worldwide explore new ways to stay relevant in a post-pandemic digital economy, AirAsia is leading the charge by merging interactive gaming, digital branding, and virtual travel into a single metaverse experience.

Explore ASEAN Like Never Before

ASEAN Exploration Mode

Players step into a vibrant virtual map representing countries across the ASEAN region—from the neon-lit streets of Singapore to the tranquil beaches of the Philippines and the majestic temples of Thailand. Each digital environment reflects authentic landmarks, landscapes, and cultural symbols, making it a unique opportunity for travel agents and their clients to explore destinations virtually before booking.

This gamified showcase of ASEAN tourism offers B2B travel planners an engaging way to promote destinations, especially among younger audiences who crave interactivity and immersion.

Rewarding Experiences that Build Loyalty

Beyond exploration, AirAsia World integrates game mechanics to reward users. Players earn digital incentives by completing challenges, seasonal quests, and educational mini-games. As they unlock new maps and experiences, they gain access to exclusive collectibles, virtual meals, and even pilot simulations—perfect for agents seeking to gamify customer engagement or staff training.

What’s Inside AirAsia World?

AirAsia Central: The Heart of Adventure

The main hub, AirAsia Central, is packed with activities:

• AirAsia Ride Grand Prix: A fast-paced go-kart race for friendly competition.

• Pilot Academy Challenge: Let users fly a virtual aircraft through obstacle courses.

• User-Generated Mini-Games: Ideal for creators and developers to test custom content.

These features aren’t just for fun—they double as interactive brand storytelling tools that can spark interest in real-world services.

ASEAN Island: A Cultural Playground

For a slower-paced experience, ASEAN Island offers a peaceful tour of Southeast Asian countries. Travel agents can use this space to virtually introduce clients to new destinations, highlight cultural experiences, and even recommend authentic onboard meals like AirAsia’s Santan dishes.

Imagine pre-trip education or even virtual orientation built directly into a Roblox experience—especially helpful for school groups, corporate travel briefings, or first-time flyers.

A Strategic Collaboration Driving Digital Transformation

The development of AirAsia World is the result of a collaboration between AirAsia Brand Co. (ABC), Objekk, and Lumiworks Sdn Bhd, supported by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) through the IP 360 Metaverse Grant. This initiative reflects AirAsia’s expanding digital footprint beyond aviation and into entertainment, education, and interactive media.

With previous success in content initiatives like AirAsia Buds Adventures and the RedGames Jam, this project positions AirAsia as a thought leader in metaverse tourism and branded digital experiences.

Why This Matters for B2B Travel Stakeholders

For travel agents, consolidators, and tour planners, this initiative represents an opportunity to:

• Promote ASEAN destinations through immersive storytelling

• Reach younger, digitally native travelers through gaming ecosystems

• Incorporate virtual discovery tools into pre-trip marketing

• Explore co-branding or incentive collaborations in future Roblox events

AirAsia World is not just a novelty—it’s a strategic platform to educate, engage, and excite future travelers.
