New Campaign Encourages Aussies to Fly Smarter with AirAsia

air-asia

In conjunction with its 9th anniversary in Australia, award-winning low-cost airline AirAsia has taken the wraps off its latest campaign to help educate consumers about how they can ‘Fly Smarter’ with AirAsia.

The airline has unveiled a series of short videos where a brand personality shares insider knowledge on the not often talked about lengths that AirAsia goes to keep costs low for long haul travel to Asia. The savings are passed directly back to customers in the form of low fares, but never at the expense of legroom, comfort, convenience or safety standards.

AirAsia Head of Marketing for Australia Linda Na said, “Our new campaign will appeal to Aussies who choose to Fly Smarter, to save money on their flight and spend the savings at their destination.

“There is a common misconception that low cost airlines cut corners to offer low fares. We are able to offer low fares because of our meticulous low cost management measures and by carrying only what passengers need and choose.
