The airasia Superapp and foodpanda have partnered, combining the strengths of
both platforms to offer better value and greater convenience to
users across ASEAN and beyond.
Jakob Angele, CEO of foodpanda
said, “The opportunity to bring together two of Malaysia’s biggest
household brands is a special one for us. We’ve both built great
services that Malaysian customers have grown to rely on and love,
so this is a natural partnership to jointly offer great value,
variety and convenience to all our customers.”
The deal will see airasia ride, airasia Superapp’s
ride-hailing service,
made available on the foodpanda app.
In turn,
foodpanda, the largest on-demand food and grocery delivery
service in Asia outside China, will power the travel superapp’s food delivery service, connecting millions of airasia Superapp users to foodpanda’s extensive network of more than
100,000 merchants and thousands of delivery partners. In turn,
airasia Superapp’s food offerings will now move towards a dine-in
model.
“We are
laser-focused on fulfilling our travel superapp vision, and we are
glad to have found positive synergy with a strong delivery partner
as we move on to a dine-in model for our food business. This
platform partnership will enable us to leverage on each others’
strengths – foodpanda’s food & grocery delivery prowess and our
ride-hailing services backed by a complete travel superapp
ecosystem, both a necessity for travellers and everyday users of
both apps alike,” said Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A. “There is so much potential where both airasia Superapp and foodpanda can further explore together, such as
payment solutions via BigPay, joint loyalty programs with airasia
rewards, possible subscription plans and much more. We are happy
to kick-off this partnership today with our food & ride-hailing
collaboration in Malaysia.”
