AirAsia and Kidzania Kuala Lumpur celebrates International Children’s Day with fun-filled programme

AirAsia and Kidzania recently celebrated International Children’s Day at Kidzania Kuala Lumpur with a special programme for children to experience and shine like an Allstar, a name given to AirAsia staff.

As part of the celebration, AirAsia and Kidzania hosted children with a fun-filled day of learning activities. The children were given the opportunity to role play as a chef, where they had hands-on experience to bake a pizza, one of the kids meals available on AirAsia flights. The children were also taught how to be well-groomed and confident with a smile on their face like AirAsia’s award-winning cabin crew with a grooming session conducted specially for them. 

Head of Commercial for AirAsia, Spencer Lee said, “We are truly privileged to be a part of this event to celebrate children and I would like to thank our partner, KidZania Kuala Lumpur for making this special occasion possible on International Children’s Day. It is most gratifying for us at AirAsia to see smiles light up on the children's faces as they look forward to becoming our very own little Allstars. This is also an opportunity for us to take time off from our busy schedules to ensure that our children can grow up in a safe, innovative and enriching environment, such as what KidZania offers.”

At KidZania Kuala Lumpur, we always look forward to meaningful collaboration that inculcates great values and enriches the experience for kids. We do hope to see more collaboration that would contribute to educate our future generation such as this initiative with more forward thinking partner like AirAsia Berhad.”
