SINGAPORE, 6 November 2024 – AirAsia has secured two top honours at the Asia Pacific Aviation 100 Awards: Asia-Pacific Overall Deal of the Year and Asia-Pacific CFO/Treasurer of the Year. These accolades reflect AirAsia’s robust financial strategies, which have significantly bolstered its financial resilience and driven its continued strong recovery.
Farouk Kamal, Deputy CEO (Corporate) of AirAsia Aviation Group said: “These awards underscore AirAsia’s strength in financial management, strategic planning, and innovative deal-making. This would not have been possible without our incredible aircraft finance and treasury team as their expertise and dedication were crucial in securing the bond. Their significant efforts have enhanced our financial resilience and paved the way for our fleet expansion and operational growth positioning us well to meet the rising travel demand. Their achievements are rightly recognised, setting the stage for even greater accomplishments in 2025 and beyond.”
