Story of AirAsia

AirAsia is a globally known brand that has made Malaysian proud. But I still don't fancy taking AirAsia on my trip simply because no loyalty card, no free meal on board, no newspaper for me to read during the journey, have to walk under the sun or rain to the plane, and most important of all...my company can afford to pay my trip on Malaysia Airlines.

Dato Tony Fernandes, the person responsible behind the AirAsia brand. He bought a bankrupt airline that no one wanted and turned it into one of the most succesful low cost carriers in the world.

• 38 Airbus compared to 14 of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), in the running to become the largest Airbus user in the world.


• Can afford to become the official low cost airline of Manchester United. (MAS no where to be seen)


• Much much more profit than MAS

If AirAsia provides a premium service just like what MAS provides but maintain the current low cost strategy, I am pretty sure it will overtake MAS soon and I will, jump ship at that time :)

AirAsia

Who would have known such a small airline from Malaysia which started out with RM40 million in debt and with it's tagline of "Now everyone can fly" would have such impact on the aviation landscape today...

Grown from a 2-aircraft fleet to 62 today, revolutionary achievements, outstanding performance and accelerated growth have cemented AirAsia as the leading and largest airline in Asia, and in growing from strength to strength, AirAsia has now proven itself to be worthy of the Airline of the Year 2007 award.

There are rooms for improvement, like cutting down flight delay rate and perhaps introduce frequent flyer programme...in which I believe that if they provide the same services provided by MAS and yet be able to keep it at low cost, I am sure the passenger load will increase.

"Teasing" MAS - Super Obvious...

P/S: Dato' Tony Fernandez, I doing free promo for you, got free air-ticket for me ah?
