AirAsia opens new Penang sales office
GEORGETOWN, 12 April 2007 AirAsia is painting Chulia Street red with the opening of a new sales office right here in Penang, the Pearl of the Orient. This is the airlines first of its sales offices to adopt a brand new look.

The AirAsia Sales Office will be difficult to miss, as the front facade of the building is generously painted with the airline’s signature red. The office “encapsulates the vibrant personality of the young airline” which is well known for its friendly cabin crew and staff, and also reflects in the interior décor fitted with sleek and chic counter tops. The new look will soon be adopted across all of the airline’s sales offices nationwide including those located around the region.

There is always a fanfare when AirAsia is nearby and this time, the airline is stirring up Penangites’ weekend by offering free seats giveaways exclusively to be given away at the new office. Early birds to visit the AirAsia Sales Office on Friday, 6 April 2007 from 9.00am onwards will walk away with free seats! There will also be cut-out coupons in major newspapers which can be redeemed at amazingly low fares.

Kathleen Tan, Executive Vice President – Commercial, AirAsia Berhad, “The opening of this office is a response to the growth in domestic tourism which has necessitated more ticketing points within the country, even more so with Visit Malaysia Year. Penang is the only AirAsia destination to benefit from the passenger traffic coming from five (5) of AirAsia’s hubs including Low Cost Carrier Terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Johor Bahru and Bangkok.

“We received many requests from guests to open a sales office here and when there was an opportunity, we grabbed it so that we can better cater to those who prefer face-to-face service. The opening of our latest office is a testament of our commitment in the northern region which has shown tremendous growth potential. We are tapping into Penang’s progressive business prospects, dynamic local scene as well as a leisure destination.”
