AirAsia warn public of ads offering heavily-discounted flights

AirAsia Bhd and its unit, AirAsia X Bhd have warned the public not to fall victim to advertisements on social media platforms offering heavily-discounted flights for both carriers.

In a statement today, AirAsia Bhd said, it has made a police report after receiving complaints from the public who fell victim to bogus travel agents.

"The airline would like to remind the public to book their flights only through official channels, such as airasia.com, official affiliates (AirAsiaGo.com) and official sales centres listed on the website," it said.

AirAsia Bhd said it would not hesitate to take legal action against individuals or groups who organised illegal schemes using the AirAsia brand.

"When in doubt or to report on suspected scams using the AirAsia brand, the public may get in touch with AirAsia via its official communication channels," it said. -- Bernama
