As a responsible airline, AirAsia is concerned about the situation in view of global statistics that 25% of trafficking victims originate from Asean. Human trafficking is a global security challenge which requires a global response the airline said. By linking up to a network of airlines, AirAsia intends to play its part to combat trafficking according to (3rd from right) Mun Ching Yap, executive director of AirAsia Foundation.
