AirAsia has announced that the current booking system will be shut down from Friday to Sunday to allow a new, state-of-the-art system to be put in place.

AirAsia Regional Head of Commercial Kathleen Tan in a media statement Wednesday said the new and improved system will spell for AirAsia’s guests countless benefits, including savings that will come as a result of the more efficient operational processes created by the new system.
