Kamarudin Meranun, executive chairman and co-founder of AirAsia, received the award from Graham Cooke, president of World Travel Awards at the Grand Finale of the World Travel Awards 2014.
“It is indeed an honour to be recognized globally, and we are taking this win as a renewal of our commitment in creating a great travel experience for our guests,” Meranun said.
“This year, we increased and enhanced our Fly-Thru connections with over 858 connections available throughout our network; launched our Premium Flex service, offering business travellers with flexibility of flights; launched our low-cost wi-fi on board, and ready to launch our AirAsia Asean Pass, which is designed to integrate the Asean community,” he added.
