AirAsia all set to take part in the massive efforts of transporting COVID-19 vaccines

AirAsia recently secured a regulatory approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on the transportation of COVID-19 vaccines packed in dry ice, allowing the airline to participate in the largest humanitarian effort of bringing hope to various destinations in the Philippines.

The authorization from CAAP came just in time for the expected arrival of the bulk of vaccines from Sinovac BioTech, Gamaleya Institute and Pfizer-BioNTech in the coming weeks and months.

AirAsia secures COVID-19 vaccines for Filipino Allstars; encourages everyone to take the shot

Ready for a strong return of demand in air travel, and true to its core value of putting people first, AirAsia is set to inoculate 1,500+ Filipino Allstars against COVID-19 starting next month.

AirAsia has identified its priority list which includes  frontliner Allstars, such as ground staff, pilots, cabin crew and others who have direct engagements with its guests.

This initiative comes as a step towards rebuilding confidence among passengers highlighting the highest standards on safety and customer service.

AirAsia partnered with government agencies and private entities to secure the initial doses for those included in the priority lists. 

In an internal survey conducted by its People and Culture Department, a vast majority, or 92 percent of the respondents, have expressed their willingness to be vaccinated.

Let Me Just Say #ThankYou For Everything This Season!

I say #ThankYou for new adventures!

If we felt last year was a year of challenges and grief, but we can look with hope and optimism. Believe me, I have been through so many moments of both good and bad. Looking back, we can actually say that we are thankful for everything that comes our way.

I have written so many posts when I was down, heartbroken, and angry. Despite the emotions in my writing, I rarely delete them because I can read them again and feel it with a different perspective. And this has been my mantra with what goes on with my life.

Whatever storms we face, time can bring us to an era of peace and we will be thankful for the lessons and emotions we felt during those days. 

Now I am in another phase of life which I can say the year I am very grateful. Not many would know that I have been working step by step to get my degree and in 2016 I finished it and will be joining the graduation ceremonies this 2017.
