Ten percent of the price paid for each burger, available for purchase from Santan, the carrier's inflight menu, is to be donated to the Global Fund foundation that helps HIV/AIDS mitigation programs in ASEAN countries.

Low-cost carrier AirAsia's latest means of collaboration with a social organization (RED) is an interesting one: a burger.
Created by Thai chef Hong Thaimee, who now resides in New York, United States, the so-called INSPI(RED) Burger boasts East-meets-West-flavored meat made of chicken and ingredients like fish soy sauce, lime leaves, sereh (citronella), Thai prik noom (green chili mayonnaise sauce), purple cabbage and tomatoes, all wrapped in red bit fruit bread.

"This collaboration makes me happy as [I'll be able to introduce] the taste of foods in my hometown in Chiang Mai to AirAsia's 8 million passengers each month," said Thaimee, who also serves as (RED) ambassador, in a statement.
