AirAsia Turns Industry Upside Down By Offering Gig Riders Full Time Employment

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes owned AirAsia SuperApp and is aiming to onboard more riders into its platform by offering gig riders full-time employment, instead of the current job offer model practiced by the competition.

In a press conference, the CEO of Capital said all those who joined its airasia food and airasia xpress as riders will be employed as full-time employees, effective immediately, enjoying a full suite of Allstar benefits which include EPF, SOCSO, and medical coverage that covers their spouses and children as well, annual leaves, and travel benefits such as AirAsia Flights ID90 & e-coupon schemes. This is on top of guaranteed income up to RM 3,000 monthly, exclusive training as well as free personal accident coverage. Based on performance, riders can also earn extra incentives. 

Tony Fernandes, added “We are thrilled to be welcoming the riders into our family. As many people know, airasia has always been about people, and we believe that people are our greatest asset. This applies across all of Capital A’s business units, including the airasia Super App.

The group is among the largest employers in the country spanning airlines, food delivery, ride-hailing, insurance, e-wallet, and mobile services. Over the years, airasia has created tens of thousands of job opportunities across the region and looks to disrupt the stranglehold in the ride-hailing and food delivery business which is currently dominated by Grab and Food Panda.
