AirAsia has been given a final opportunity to contest a payout of RM147,400 to a former pilot, according to Free Malaysia Today. The Malaysian carrier will use this last legal avenue to try to overturn the award.
The report, published on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, describes the development as AirAsia's final shot at reversing the payment. Free Malaysia Today did not detail the grounds of the dispute or the court involved in its headline and summary.
The case concerns a monetary award owed to a pilot who previously worked for the airline. The exact basis for the RM147,400 sum, and the legal reasoning behind it, were not set out in the available reporting.
What happens next depends on the outcome of that final appeal attempt. If AirAsia succeeds, the payout could be set aside; if it fails, the award to the former pilot would stand. Further details on the hearing and the court's reasoning are expected to emerge as the case proceeds.
