It has a predominantly brown plumage with a slightly paler throat and belly. Asian Palm Swifts are known for their swift and agile flight, often darting and swooping gracefully through the air in search of flying insects.

In Pakistan, Asian Palm Swifts are commonly found across various regions, including coastal areas, plains, and urban environments. They are particularly abundant in regions with palm trees, from which they derive their name. Asian Palm Swifts are adaptable birds and can be seen in a range of habitats, including gardens, parks, and agricultural areas.
Asian Palm Swifts are highly sociable birds, often observed flying and foraging in small to large flocks. They feed primarily on airborne insects, including flies, mosquitoes, and termites, which they catch in mid-air using their agile flight maneuvers. Asian Palm Swifts are diurnal birds, with peak activity occurring during the early morning and late afternoon.
