4 Days to go...

Categories: Employees, Others

Despite the rain, nothings going to stop us. That's AirAsia. Many would have called a similar event off but we just found a way. The lesson is to never give up.

That's the AirAsia spirit.

PS. Isn't the plane beautiful?

Um..........Seems like everyone are pumped!!!!! GOOD LUCK, AIR ASIA X!!! Hope you can really fly extra long from now on!!! Tony, Your team are patriotic, i mean...... Enthusiast and loyal to Air Asia Family!!! Everyone are really looking forward and get ready to this great event!!! I wish you the biggest success on this "Brand New Kangaroo Route"!!! ( I mean.....close enough to form a Kangaroo Route!!) So, Is Air Asia going to re-configure the seating plan and the seats style on this "Brand New" A343?? Would it change to the actual brand new A330 cabin?? Also, Maybe is a bit non-necessary to ask or concern from me (I think your team would already point that out) is that your only aircraft that can fly direct from KL to London is this A343, If there's any problem or issue suddenly pop up, which plane can you use to serve this route, since A333 can't do this range with full-pax, Although CX delivered their plane from Toulose to Hong Kong directly. So can you just tell us what's your planning for the sudden problem?? Anyway, The plane outlook is absolutely outstanding and spectacular!! Have a good one, Tony!!!

By the way, just want to add something, you team are so "Red" that can compare with the Man U's fans!!! A red sea at Old Trafford!!! Also, the umbrella looks really nice!!! I would like to have one and stand in this squad and form the word "Air Asia"!!! with the red umbrella, i am sure it would be really nice!! Because rain means nothing, but it can makes the event more fun!!!

Hi Tony, great looking plane. I had the pleasure of flying airasia on the KL - Melbourne sector last December. It was a great flight - on time and the plane was brand new. I'm sure the KL - London sector will be just as good. All the best.

It's a start to an exciting week for AirAsia as AirAsia is going to London~~~ First of all I will like to comment on my recent first experience on LCC and my first LCC experience starts with AirAsia. It was a wonderful and splendid experience and i am in love with AirAsia and i find AirAsia indeed lift up undoubtfully one of Asia's best LCC. Too bad I travelled 1 week earlier or else i may get onboard this new exciting A340 aircraft when it was done on trial for KUL-PEN route. =) I'm looking forward to the roadshow held in SIN later this week and i will go down and have a look. Last but not least, i wish to congratualate AirAsia on the launch of the London route and i hope i will have more AirAsia trips in times to come. Cheers!

I just can say that AirAsia had once again done it again. Hope the stock will also pick up soon. Cheers-william.

the debonaire extraordinaire has done it again. Well done Tony! I would have used the salutations but in ur blog you said to just use Tony. Man Utd move sounds very inviting. Being a fan for eons, it would be a pleasure to welcome our very own Malaysian made brand on our beloved jersey. Looks great for your presumable intention of penetrating the european market having done australasia and asia. Would love to see the dynamics of this possible deal. Congratulations once again.

Dear Tony, really admire the determination and drive that you and all AirAsia staff hav have. And yes, I definitely agree with you that the plane looks simply magnificient, despite despite the rain....Well done Tony...Hoping for another interview session with you at LCCT, Sepang on the success of Kuala Lumpur-London flight.

I am really proud of this moment. Congratulations to you Tony and the rest in AirAsiaand AirAsiaX!
aminos from Malaysia wroteon Mar 12, 2009 at 22:17
Congratulation on Air Asia-X. It's really a good thing to be able to travel cheap. Thank to you. Now we can stay cheap in a hotel too. Thanks again. Perhaps you can make our dreams to go on a cruise around the world cheap too.

Cruising around the world in a big ship with all the entertainment and luxury on board cheaply would a great experience. Ok, forget the luxury since It's going to be cheap. Comfortable will do.

If someone can make this happen, it's going to be you. You are the man !!

Hi Tony,
To be frank, my first flight on AirAsia was just last week to H.K. I do agreed i had a pleasant flight that day and your staff was very helpfull (actually i was quite suprise as it's a low cost carrier). From now on, i think i will choose AirAsia to all my destination.
Oh...Congratulation to your new flight to London. A340 rock....

Congratulations Tony. The plane is really beautiful. I think an AirAsia Air Bus A380
would look even more beautiful, do you think so? Is it going to happen?
