Travel and expense management solutions firm Concur has partnered with AirAsia Group to offer the airline’s regular and exclusive corporate content for Concur customers.
Exclusive content will be available to customers who have a direct agreement with AirAsia.
The tie-up is expected to help businesses reign in their corporate travel expenses amid challenging economic times, says Concur.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Concur, who will play a key role in our corporate sales strategy. Through Concur Travel, we will offer both our regular content, as well as, our exclusive corporate content to those who have a direct corporate agreement with AirAsia," said Barry Klipp, group head of corporate sales for AirAsia.
"As companies continue to manage their travel budgets in the challenging economic times, we look forward to supporting Concur’s customers in budgeting their employee travel costs."
According to a McKinsey report commissioned by Singapore Tourism Board, low cost carriers in Asia now have a 29% share of business travel expenditure on flights, more than any other region globally.
That compares to 16% in North America.
Nick Evered, Concur’s senior vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, said: "Our collaboration with AirAsia Group, by far the largest LCC grouping in Asia, will provide our customers with a great cost saving window on their travel budgets. Concur’s easy-to-use business travel and expense management software solution helps businesses save time, money and gain control."
