The SunRisers Hyderabad have announced a partnership with Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia.
As per the agreement, AirAsia will serve as SRH’s Official Airline Partner for the 2025 Indian Premier League season and provide their fans with exclusive travel deals. It will also work with the Hyderabad-based franchise on other fan engagement activities.
K Shanmugam, SunRisers Hyderabad CEO, commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome AirAsia as our Official Airline Partner in 2025. Just as Sunrisers Hyderabad is known for its fearless cricket and unstoppable drive, AirAsia has redefined air travel with its affordability, extensive connectivity, and ‘Dare to Dream’ spirit. This partnership is built on celebrating people, passion, and places – uniting fans, igniting excitement, and taking the love for cricket beyond the stadium. As we take flight together, this season will not only be about the action on the field but also about delivering extraordinary experiences in the skies and beyond.”
Amanda Woo, AirAsia Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“Cricket is more than a sport in India, it is a way of life, a passion that unites millions, much like travel does. We see many synergies that are aligned with our brand. Partnering with the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad is an exciting step for AirAsia, as we continue to bridge distances and bring people closer to the experiences they love. Just as SRH pushes the boundaries on the field, AirAsia is pushing the boundaries of connectivity, bridging travellers to over 130 destinations across our extensive network. For more than 15 years, AirAsia has played a pivotal role in India’s aviation landscape, making travel more accessible and affordable.
“Today, as one of the country’s largest foreign carriers by connectivity – with 30 routes linking India, Malaysia, and Thailand, and nearly 1.6 million guests flown to/from India in 2024 alone – our commitment to this market remains stronger than ever. This partnership with SRH is set to deepen our engagement, particularly in vibrant cricket-loving second- and third-tier cities such as Calicut, Trichy, Guwahati, Jaipur, and Lucknow. As we jointly step up to the pitch for exciting innings this season, fans can expect us to elevate this partnership in the months ahead.”
