AirAsia Flight Status
About AirAsia
AirAsia, based in Malaysia, operates under the ICAO code AXM and the IATA code AK; its radio callsign is "Asian Express". On this page you can follow AirAsia flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a AirAsia flight number
Every AirAsia flight number starts with AK, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix AXM, and controllers address it as "Asian Express". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by AirAsia and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about AirAsia
Where is my AirAsia flight right now?
Search the flight number (AK plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my AirAsia flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do AK and AXM mean on AirAsia flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. AK is the IATA code you see on tickets; AXM is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does AirAsia operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by AirAsia, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
