LWIN LEE | AIR ASIA’S TRAVEL 3SIXTY° INFLIGHT MAGAZINE CELEBRATES 100TH ISSUE @ MARINI’S ON 57, MENARA 3 PETRONAS, KLCC
Air Asia’s
award-winning in-flight magazine TRAVEL
3SIXTY° marked its 100th issue with a celebration event, also
marking the eight anniversary of the publication which has grown to reach over
3 million readers monthly.
Dato’ Aziz Bakar, Board of Director of
AirAsia Berhad revealed the
cover of Travel 3SIXTY°’s 100th issue during the celebratory event.
Datuk Kamarudin Meranum, publisher of the
travel 3SIXTY° magazine, who
is also the Executive Chairman of
AirAsia Berhad and Group CEO of
AirAsia X said, “It has been quite a journey for the in-flight magazine
since it was established in 2007. I am very proud of how it has grown into the
sleek, stylish and informational magazine that it is now; apart from being the
only in0flight publication to be audited and endorsed by the Audit Bureau of
Circulations of Malaysia (ABCM).”
“The core
mission of the magazine has always been to showcase the best of travel, culture
and lifestyle and we want our readers to continue to experience the magazine
through an array of media- both print and digital. 100 issues is
surely no easy feat, and I would like to congratulate the team on this
milestone,” added Datuk Kamarudin Meranum.
A special
contest themed ‘Invite travel 3SIXTY°’, was also announced in conjunction with the magazine’s 100th
issue. This contest provides readers of the magazines opportunities to invite
the editorial team to visit their hometown and be featured as the cover story,
enabling local stories to be shared on a regional front through the magazine.
The inspiration
for this special contest came from a school teacher from the rural area in
Tebedu, Sarawak who emailed the editorial team and shared his story on how he
has been using travel 3SIXTY°to teach his students about other cultures in the
region, apart from improving their English.
His initiatives
reached the ears if the editorial team when the school teacher wrote in to
request for old copies of the magazines to be donated to the school. Since then, copies of travel 3SIXTY° have made
regular appearance at the school as part of their lessons.
Guests of the
night and media-bloggers alike were treated to a spread of sumptuous finger
food, tapas to desserts and range of premium Scotch Whisky for liquor aficionado.

The stunning view from Petronas 57th floor as always. Remains captivating still with its picturesque night scene albeit a heavy downpour earlier on.
Guess the iconic
KL Tower had temporarily turned into an infinite tunnel towards the space after
the rain, hehe.
