Additionally, Suhaila Hassan, AirAsia Group Head of Cabin Crew, shared her pride in the cabin crew’s continued recognition. “This award is a heartfelt tribute to our exceptional cabin crew members who consistently go above and beyond for our guests. It not only applauds their effort but drives us to keep pushing boundaries and deliver unforgettable journeys to all our travelers.”
