Annual Report 2019

Save Our Malayan Tiger AirAsia has unveiled a special ‘Save our Malayan Tiger’ aircraft livery in support of the Malaysian government’s campaign to save the fast-disappearing Malayan tiger in November 2019, spreading the awareness of conservation and sustainability among our guests across our extensive network in ASEAN and beyond. To further drive the message home, our in-flight announcements now include a stern warning on wildlife trafficking. Additionally, a range of limited edition ‘Save Our Malayan Tiger’ merchandise will soon be sold across all our sales channels, with a portion of the proceeds to be channelled to the Malayan tiger conservation fund. Smoke-free Culture In AirAsia, the health and well-being of our Allstars is an important part of our journey towards becoming sustainable and responsible. In support of this goal, and to encourage and empower Allstars and guests to create a smoke-free environment and to quit smoking, we launched a Smoke-Free Culture Campaign in November 2019. This campaign was officiated by our health minister, YB Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad, who at the ceremony presented AirAsia with a Blue Ribbon Award for making RedQ our global headquarters in Kuala Lumpur a 100% smoke-free building, and to Tony Fernandes for his leadership in creating a smoke-free environment in AirAsia. AirAsia’s anti-smoking efforts include the immediate cessation of onboard, website and duty-free cigarette sales, and the implementation of a company-wide smoke and vape-free environment at its 120 offices and stations across Asia Pacific. AirAsia is also providing wellness assistance programs to support Allstars to give up smoking.
