The 300 millionth guest AirAsia has flown was Jodie Lazuardie. This 30-year old art director from Jakarta received a red carpet welcome, which included a private pick up from the jet, fast-track immigration service and priority baggage handling.

During all of this, Mr. Lazuardie was being escorted by AirAsia cabin crew.

The lucky 300 millionth passenger was then chauffeured to The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Jakarta where the AirAsia Group management team was waiting to congratulate him.

Among the people welcoming Lazuardie were Tony Fernandes, AirAsia Group CEO, co-founder and Kamarudin Meranun, AirAsia X Group CEO and AirAsia BIG CEO Alice Goh.

Fernandes and Goh presented Lazuardie with his 3 million BIG Points, which will allow him to redeem hundreds of free flights to any destination operated by the carrier.

AirAsia Group CEO Fernandes said the following on this occasion:

We are delighted to be here to welcome our 300-milionth guest. When we started AirAsia fourteen years ago, we merely had two aircraft in operation supported by 250 staff across five destinations in Malaysia. Today, we have established operations in 5 countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and India with over 17,000 Allstars.
