The campaign is also a reinforcement of AirAsia’s dedication to operating on time and to the expectations of its guests while keeping to high safety standards according to stringent International aviation guidelines at all times.

Our operational on-time performance has been recognised by trustworthy institutes and we were named the Most On-Time Airline in Thailand in both 2022 and 2023 by Cirium and OAG. These marks of pride are no easy feat and resulted from the dedication and hard work of our Allstar colleagues. But the biggest honour definitely goes to our dear guests who have been giving all their cooperation and support towards our on-time endeavour. This commercial represents our sincere thanks to all involved,” Mr. Santisuk said.
