I always found the airline to be safe and for the most part efficient. What&#8217;s happened to AirAsia is a tragedy and shame for the airline and the industry not to mention the family of those who were lost. \u00a0AirAsia is a big sponsor of sports in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, they sponsor many television events and provide a variety of opportunities for the communities they serve to receive charitable funding for projects.<\/p>\n<p>I have admired how the the airline&#8217;s CEO, Tony Fernandes, has managed and spoken publicly about the situation. \u00a0Today, a message was sent to frequent fliers (and perhaps others, but I received it as a frequent flyer club member.) \u00a0It was a very touching message and I applaud the airline for their handling of this tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who didn&#8217;t receive this message, I wanted to share it here:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8757\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-01-12 at 7.27.21 PM\" width=\"534\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM.png 534w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM-287x300.png 287w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM-326x341.png 326w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM-500x521.png 500w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-12-at-7.27.21-PM-260x271.png 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I spent a lot of time in Asia over the past few years, I flew AirAsia many times to\/from a variety of locations. \u00a0I am a member of AirAsia&#8217;s frequent flyer program, BIG Points, and while it&#8217;s not the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"AirAsia Message To Frequent Flyers From CEO -
