AIRASIA has added a more festive atmosphere at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (Naia 3), turning on the lights of a 30-foot Christmas tree, topped by parol (lantern) symbolizing the Filipinos’ close family ties.
The event was attended by Naia Assistant General Manager Atty. Germaine Pormento, Terminal 3 Manager Joycelyn Mapanao, Vice Chairman Sheila Romero, AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla and AirAsia Philippines Chief Commercial Officer Gilbert Simpao.
“Today, we welcome the festive season by sharing in the holiday spirit here at Naia 3, a time when most of our 11 million overseas Filipino workers come home just to be with their loved ones,” said Isla.
AirAsia’s 30-ft red Christmas tree is on display at the Arrival Hall of Terminal 3, and features bright lights, glistening ornaments, oversized passports and Christmas socks filled and displayed with AirAsia destinations. An AirAsia A320 aircraft model will be displayed at the top of the tree.
A month ago, AirAsia opened their new office called RedPoint, occupying some 2,000 square meters of office space at the second floor of Naia 3.
The media was given a tour of the area, with rooms themed by season—winter, summer, spring or autumn. It has a playful and relaxing atmosphere for the estimated 500 employees out of the more than 2,000 comprising the AirAsia family across the country; there are hammocks, swing areas, gym, collaboration zone and creative lounges.
The carrier invites the public to snap a photo of AirAsia’s Christmas tree and have the chance to win free roundtrip tickets for two this Christmas.
Contestants are invited to take a photo with the AirAsia Christmas tree, upload it on Instagram and post why AirAsia should fly you to your dream destination.
“Be sure to tag @airasiafilipino on Instagram and use the hashtag #AirAsiaChristmas. Winners will be announced on 23 December, 2019,” said Isla.
