-- AirAsia today joined the local community of Kampung Simpok in Kuching, Sarawak to kick off the Harvest Festival season with Pesta Sungai Kampung Simpok, a beloved annual celebration that brings together villages across the Padawan region through culture, colour, and creativity.
The highlight of the event is the much-anticipated raft decoration competition, where local communities showcase their identity and craftsmanship. This year, AirAsia proudly stepped in as the official community partner, reinforcing its role as the people’s airline committed to honouring local customs and uplifting underserved communities.
The airline continues to champion connectivity for all by bridging people, places, and traditions across Asean. Whether in bustling cities or remote villages, the airline remains rooted in its purpose, to be an airline for the people bringing them closer not just through flights, but through shared experiences, values, and culture.
Dato’ Captain Fareh Mazputra, AirAsia Malaysia CEO said: “As an airline built by the people, for the people, we are proud to celebrate this meaningful season of harvest with communities in East Malaysia. Whether it is Hari Gawai or Hari Kaamatan, these festivals are a reminder of our rich heritage and the spirit of togetherness that defines us as Malaysians. Being here with the people of Kampung Simpok reflects what we stand for, connecting people, places and passion in every corner of the region, including those that have long been underserved.”
To mark the celebration, AirAsia brought its signature red to life at Kampung Simpok by decorating the village entrance, main stage, and raft competition area with festive colours and cheer. The AirAsia Fun Team also added to the energy, performing and engaging with the crowd to highlight the joy of cultural exchange.
