Highlights in your career as a FA with AirAsia
AirAsia has made me feel like I never left home. The team is warm and welcoming. The mentors, during my training, guided me to be an exceptionally good FA. I find the people in AirAsia very hard working to the extent that even if it’s their day off from work, they find ways to assist us whenever there is a need. I love it here. As a newly graduated FA, I love the flying part. Every day, I get the opportunity to meet different people from various cultures and backgrounds. I am very proud to be part of Batch 01 of AirAsia Philippines and I am now officially part of the AirAsia family.
Tell us about your birthplace
I’m half Swiss and half Filipino, but was raised in Philippines. Filipinos are known for our hospitability and are a very friendly lot. Philippines has a lot of world-class tourist spots. There are great beaches almost anywhere you go and up to 95% of the population speaks English. The food is great and inexpensive. But most importantly, we are unique because we are not what you expect from a typical Asian country. There are a lot of Spanish and American influences and this makes Philippines a special nation.
What do you like about the new outfits?
The Weekend outfit is chic and trendy while the Compression top allows us to work with ease and comfort. I like them both!

Highlights in your career as a FA with AirAsia
My lifestyle has changed a lot since joining AirAsia. I have learnt to be more disciplined with matters of work and know how to manage my time better as well. You can only learn these qualities while working for a company that truly nurtures us to bring out the best.
Tell us a little about your birthplace
Malaysia is a peaceful and safe country. Eventhough Malaysians are made up of all kinds of ethnic groups, we celebrate and cherish our diversity. The whole of Asia is represented here in Malaysia! That aside, we are also rich with historical attractions, beautiful islands and million-year-old rainforests.
What do you like about the new outfits?
I like the Weekend outfit as it is casual, simple and helps me serve my guests in style and comfort.

Highlights in your career as a FA with AirAsia
As a young family member with the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, I am enjoying every moment of it. The learning process at AirAsia is filled with joy and laughter in a stress-free working environment. We are here to make everyone feel like one big family. We may be low-cost but our service is always first class!
Tell us about your birthplace.
Kuala Lumpur is the centre of Malaysia, a country that’s renowned for its multi ethnic and multi cultural society consisting Malay, Chinese, Indian and other ethnic groups living together in harmony. I find the food of Malaysia one of the greatest attractions. The Malays have their nasi lemak, rendang and ketupat, the Indians have capati, roti canai and banana leaf rice, while the Chinese have dim sum, yong tao foo, char kuey teow. Some of these dishes are available onboard AirAsia, and when you see one race enjoying the food of another, you’ll understand why we are one big happy family!
What do you like about the new outfits?
The new Weekend outfit is more laid-back, stylish and it makes the FAs look friendly and approachable. The concept, I believe, is quite unique from other airlines in the world.
