AirAsia Group Bhd executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranum said it was an honour to be recognised by Skytrax for 11 years in a row for the airlines’ commitment to providing affordable travel and guest-obsessed service.
"The fact that these awards are based on direct feedback is gratifying and wonderful recognition for the Allstars (AirAsia employees) who put so much effort and commitment into service excellence for our guests," he said in a statement, distributed during the awards ceremony at the 53rd International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget here Tuesday.
