World’s best low cost airline unveils brand new corporate identity & flight attendants’ weekend uniform
Sepang, 11 May
2012 - AirAsia,
the world’s best low cost airline unveiled a brand new corporate
identity in line with its ’10 Awesome Years’ campaign, which includes
a new television commercial featuring AirAsia Allstars, a new concept
for its flight attendants’ weekend uniform, apart from the announcements
of a few awesome news in the pipeline at a briefing held today at
AirAsia’s Headquarters in LCC Terminal, Sepang.
AirAsia grew
from a
two-aircraft airline to one of the largest and most respected low-cost
carriers in the world, proving that passion and perseverance can propel a
simple dream to
a spectacular reality. Over the past 10 years, AirAsia has marked
hundreds of amazing milestones, painting the sky red
across 152 routes in 24 countries.
The new look signifies a fresh new journey with more exciting things to come.
AirAsia’s ’10 Awesome Years’ campaign started in December last year, celebrating its tenth birthday
with a series of
new initiative but staying true to its core identity of being the
people’s champion in democratising air travel. Since the campaign
launch, the
airline has announced various ‘awesome’ news such as the abolishment of
counter check-in fees for international flights, baggage fee reduction
where guests can now save up to 50% when they purchase their check-in
baggage online; as well as revised
meal prices with more discounts and even more variety of food to choose from.
Kathleen Tan, AirAsia’s Group Head of Commercial
proudly
says, “In
AirAsia, we take branding very seriously. Low fares does not mean we
have to be cheap. It’s about engaging our guests, delivering a service
experience to make them feel good about the AirAsia brand. After 10
awesome years journey of revolutionising air travel
with our low fares, incredible network and a unique “Allstars” culture
we have built, we feel it’s time to give our brand a fresh and
rejuvenated look and to continue to stay relevant with times.
AirAsia’s branding has always embodied the spirit of being bold, innovative, dynamic and progressive in everything we do.
We are excited to give our look, feel as well as our plane livery a
little contemporary 'facelift'. We have gone from a Malaysian brand to a
regional brand and now after 10 years, AirAsia is a global name not
just in the aviation industry but one that is internationally
recognisable.”
“The credit goes to our Group CEO, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes whose individual charisma and dynamism has breathe a
lot of live to the AirAsia brand,” she added.
It
will not just be the ads, counters and office which will have a new
look as part of this branding
exercise, AirAsia’s flight attendants will also get a brand new outfit
for weekends. The weekend outfits are envisioned to reflect AirAsia’s
image of daring to be different, sporty yet smart and sexy, apart from
being vibrant and stylish. The new weekend outfits
also embodies AirAsia’s active involvement in the field of sports.
The
airline is what it is today because of the can do attitude of each and
every person that makes up the AirAsia
family. Each and every one of its employees—the AirAsia
Allstars--represents the brand, akin to ‘walking advertisements’ for the
airline. The way they do things differently via constant innovation is
the key in elevating the brand, setting AirAsia apart from
the rest of the field and making it the winner of numerous accolades,
such as ‘The World’s Best Low Cost Airline’ award by Skytrax for three
years in a row (2009, 2010, 2011).
The
AirAsia brand has also been received well in other countries which the
AirAsia group operates
in, with awesome news such as Thai AirAsia preparing for IPO (initial
public offering); the launch of three domestic and one international
route operated by AirAsia Philippines from Clark to Davao, Kalibo,
Puerto Princessa and Kuala Lumpur; AirAsia Indonesia
now operating a 100% Airbus fleet and with AirAsia Japan soon to
announce routes they would fly.
Over
the years, AirAsia have also been very active in promoting the brand
through sports initiatives. AirAsia
is the key partner for Caterham F1 (Formula 1), Queens Park Rangers
(QPR) FC (English Premier League), AirAsia ASEAN Basketball League,
Philippine Patriots (Basketball), Team AirAsia-Sepang International
Circuit-Ajo (MotoGP), Oakland Raiders (NFL) and run
our own motorsport talent development program-- the AirAsia Caterham
Driver Development Program (AACDDP).
