We want to provide guests on board the aircraft a relaxing ambience and reading our in-flight magazines would allow them to feel at ease, and keep thoughts away from any form of daily life distraction while traveling. AirAsia will continue to offer guests that extra mileage so that they feel at home when flying with us. As the airline with the largest network in the Southeast Asia region and with over 70 point-to-point routes, we are positive that the magazine will be a welcome read by our savvy frequent travelers.’ concluded Dato’ Tony.

Meanwhile Lim Su Ching, Publisher & Director of Ancillary Income said “Our in-flight magazine is an ideal medium for advertisers who are interested in tapping into AirAsia’s huge base of traveling guests. While we have other forms of airspace advertising in the aircrafts, a magazine is ideal as we are able to provide key information for the travelers’ right in the seat pocket. By making every effort to tailor the editorial content to the interests of the AirAsia guests, whether they are traveling for business or leisure, we intend to increase the average time of our guests to engage with our in-flight magazine. We hope our audience will enjoy what we have presented in a relaxed environment and interested in the wide-range brands advertised within our unique in-flight publication. Travel 3Sixty also aims to grow beyond its presence as an in-flight magazine and move out from the confines of the aircraft when the time is right,” concluded Su Ching
