In an Instagram post on Sept. 12, 2016, AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes has announced that his airline would be giving ASEAN Paralympians free flights for life:
Gold medal Paralympians, such as Singapore's Yip Pin Xiu, would be eligible for free flights on AirAsia for life, while silver and bronze medalists will be getting free flights for five and two years respectively.
Previously, the Malaysian budget carrier had announced last month that it would be giving ASEAN Olympians who have won gold medals at the 2016 Olympics free travel for life on AirAsia, which includes Singapore's Joseph Schooling.
Yip Pin Xiu clinched gold in the women's S2 100m backstroke and her compatriot Theresa Goh won bronze in the women's SB4 100m breaststroke.
Well done ladies!
