KUALA LUMPUR, 7 September 2026 – AirAsia MOVE is making it easier for travellers to plan trips around live events with a new offering that brings flights and official event tickets together in a single booking.
The event + flights bundle debuts with Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) 2026, one of Southeast Asia’s biggest electronic dance music festivals, giving fans a more seamless and better-value way to plan their journey to the event.
Powered by MOVETIX, AirAsia MOVE’s dedicated event platform, the bundle also helps event organisers reach high-intent audiences beyond their home markets, connecting their events with travellers who are actively planning trips around live event experiences.
From concerts and festivals to sporting events and cultural experiences, live events are increasingly becoming a reason for people to travel, creating new opportunities for cross-border tourism across the region. This bundle is designed to make these event-led journeys easier to plan while offering travellers better value and more reasons to explore Asean.
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A commented, “Travel has been about more than getting from one place to another, especially in recent times. It’s about the experiences that bring people together. As live events increasingly inspire people to travel, we see a huge opportunity to connect more people with the music, culture and moments they love across Asean. By bringing together AirAsia’s connectivity and AirAsia MOVE’s travel ecosystem under MOVETIX, we want to make those experiences more accessible and help people discover more of our region along the way.”
Hassan Choudhury, Head of MOVETIX by AirAsia MOVE said, “We’ve seen travel bookings to destinations around major events and concerts increase by 10–15%, clear evidence that live experiences are driving travel demand. Over my 30 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve also seen firsthand how important it is for organisers to reach the right audiences beyond their home markets. Our new event and flight bundle allows us to tap into that demand by bringing event tickets and flights together, while putting events in front of high-intent travellers who are already looking to travel. DWP is an exciting first launch with Ismaya Group, and we look forward to working with more organisers across Asean and beyond to help them reach new audiences and unlock more value from the travel demand their events create.”
Christian Rijanto, Co-founder of Ismaya Group said, “DWP has always been more than a festival. It’s arguably Asia’s biggest homegrown destination festival, and a reason to come to Indonesia. We’ve seen fans fly in from across Asia, Australia and Europe every year, and that is part of what makes DWP special. What we’ve built over eighteen years, from the lineup and production to the hospitality, is the ultimate festival experience. Partnering with AirAsia MOVE through MOVETIX makes that journey significantly easier and more accessible. For the first time, a fan in Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok can plan their entire DWP trip, including tickets and flights, in one place. That’s a meaningful step forward for event tourism in this region, and we’re proud to debut this amazing initiative with DWP.”
The DWP MOVETIX event + flight saves travellers up to 20% and is now available from as low as MYR1,300 for general admission event ticket + flights from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta via AirAsia MOVE.
