In his Instagram posting, Riad thanked AirAsia and the team “for their undying support given throughout the good as well as bad times,” and said it was “truly an honour to have been given the opportunity to work with each and everyone one of you throughout these years.”

“As I take a bit of a break and transition into possible advisory roles for this organisation, please take good care of yourselves and stay safe always.
