Their collective efforts resulted in an impressive haul of medals: 5 gold, 3 silver, and 8 bronze in the Olympic Games, and an extraordinary 11 gold, 22 silver, and 20 bronze in the Paralympic Games.
This phenomenal achievement not only underscores the region’s rising prominence in global sports but also stands as a tribute to the relentless dedication and hard work of these exceptional athletes. As a token of appreciation for their remarkable accomplishments, AirAsia is offering these deserving athletes the opportunity to travel to any of the 130 destinations served by its extensive network across Asean and beyond. In keeping with AirAsia’s commitment to digital convenience, medalists can effortlessly reserve their flights directly through the AirAsia MOVE app by selecting the ‘Asean Pass’ icon, ensuring a seamless and optimal travel experience.
