KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 (Bernama) -- AirAsia Bhd is among the top five most recognised and admired airlines in the Asia-Pacific region in a survey by market insight company, TNS.
In a statement here Tuesday, AirAsia said it was the only low-cost carrier to be listed among the 'Top 10 Asia-Pacific Airlines' category, which saw it coming ahead of other full-service, legacy carriers including Qantas and Malaysia Airlines.
It said the category formed part of the Asia-Pacific Top 1,000 Brands 2008 survey which was produced in cooperation with the Hong Kong-based Media magazine.
A total of 3,600 people were surveyed across 10 countries, covering 12 major product and service categories.
Group chief executive officer, Tony Fernandes, said to be the only low-cost carrier featured in the category was a great achievement for the airline.
He said AirAsia’s low-cost model was an attractive customer proposition which was strong enough to compete with premium airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific.
"Over the last seven years AirAsia has quickly become a household name, and with flights operating from every Asean country, we are making air travel an affordable reality for everyone across Asia," he said.
