Artist Ernest Zacharevic was surprised to see his mural, Children On A Bicycle, featured on an AirAsia plane without his permission. He discovered the artwork on the aircraft at Penang International Airport on November 22. Zacharevic, who painted the mural in 2012, noted that this is not the first instance of AirAsia using his work without consent. He has previously reached out to the airline but did not receive a positive response. Despite the situation, Zacharevic is not pursuing legal action at this time. He plans to address the issue directly with AirAsia first.
