AirAsia received three recognitions in the World Travel Awards 2015
The 14-year-old AirAsia Group continues to fly high as it won three prestigious awards in the World Travel Awards 2015 last Sunday, December 13.
AirAsia received three recognitions. The first one is for the coveted “World’s Leading Low Cost Airline” title in which AirAsia has achieved for the third consecutive year. This, actually, is what AirAsia aspires to do – to fly people at a cheaper price.
