YB Tuan Wong Hon Wai, Penang State EXCO for Tourism and Creative Economy, praised the event as a meaningful initiative to connect people and celebrate Penang’s rich cultural heritage: “We are pleased to see AirAsia engaging the public through more than just air travel. RedRun gives Penangites and visitors a chance to be part of something vibrant and community-driven.”

AirAsia Malaysia CEO Dato’ Captain Fareh Mazputra echoed that sentiment: “RedRun is about celebrating the spirit of travel and togetherness. Penang is a fitting host — not only is it our second-largest hub in Peninsular Malaysia, it’s also a dynamic cultural and culinary destination.”
