On the other hand, AirAsia’s chief executive officer (CEO), Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, tweeted that AirAsia will freeze any unsold seats before and after the elections, on 8 and 10 May respectively. He then said that these seats will be sold at lower prices for customers going back home before and after the polling day.
