KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 – Budget carrier, AirAsia Bhd, has won the “LIMA 2013 Asean Low Cost Airline of the Year Award” at the Asean Commercial Aviation Awards at the ongoing Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA’13) Exhibition.
AirAsia romped home the award in recognition of its high revenue growth, profitability and above average revenue passengers kilometres, Chief Executive Officer Aireen Omar said.
