Guy Sebastian in tune as AirAsia ambassador

Australian music idol Guy Sebastian has been bestowed the honour as Australian Ambassador for low-cost airline AirAsia.

Introduced last night at a VIP event at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Guy Sebastian was joined by music and aviation industry representatives, media, AirAsia trade partners together with AirAsia X Group CEO Datuk Kamarudin Meranun and Malaysia AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail.

The musician played a set of his songs to an enthusiastic crowd and also exhibited a number of his photographs which were sold in a silent auction along with AirAsia flights to raise money for The Sebastian Foundation.

AirAsia X Group CEO Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said they were thrilled to have such a huge talent onboard.

“Music and entertainment are a natural fit for AirAsia and he joins other entertainers and celebrities to promote our award-winning service. Beyond that, Guy also embodies AirAsia’s values and ideals with his support of the community through charity work,” Kamarudin Meranun added.

Guy Sebastian said, “I’m excited to be part of the AirAsia team as the official ambassador of the airline. As a Malaysian-born Australian, who travels a great deal for my music, there are many aspects of AirAsia that I admire. I love the story of how Tony Fernandes (who my Dad often gets mistaken for!) started the company and grew it to where it is today, but most of all I love the heart behind it. Tony and the team do a great deal of charitable acts and the culture within the company is one where philanthropy is of a high priority. I look forward to this partnership and can’t wait to share some of the exciting things we have in store.”

Guy will promote AirAsia’s brand, help create some engaging content as well as showcase some of his favourite Asian destinations.
