“They proved we can achieve anything as long as we believe in ourselves and work tireless towards our dream. This is the least we could do for them,” said Tony Fernandes, AirAsia’s group CEO.
After doing their home countries proud at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ASEAN Olympic Gold medallists like Singapore’s Joseph Schooling and Vietnam’s Hoang Xuan Vinh can look forward to a surprise by AirAsia: free flights for life.
Eligible atheletes will be able to fly to any of the more than 120 destinations within AirAsia and AirAsia X’s network in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Africa.
Athletes from the 10-nation grouping who have won silver and bronze medals will also receive free flights for five and two years respectively.
“They proved we can achieve anything as long as we believe in ourselves and work tireless towards our dream. This is the least we could do for them,” said Tony Fernandes, AirAsia’s group CEO.
He added, “ASEAN athletes in Rio have shown they can noy only compete but excel in top level competitions. We hope this will encourage others in the region to follow in their footsteps, and I look forward to seeing more medals from ASEAN in future Games.”
