Take some blame, AirAsia

comments     TigerTalk     Published     Updated

KINIBIZ Tiger thinks the airline in red should own up for it own tardiness instead of blaming everyone else for its own delays. A request for an extension of time to move to KLIA2 from the LCCT framed politely would help much more than finger pointing.

Welcome back from the weekend. You know Mondays don’t really count so I trust you’ve had a well-deserved full two days of relaxation. Unfortunately, Tiger can’t say the same for himself, what with AirAsia and the airports operator MAHB, short for Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, going at each other’s throats.

AirAsia is throwing a huge fuss over the May 9 deadline for the transfer of budget flight operations from the crummy low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) to its replacement, the so-called ‘hybrid’ not-so-low-cost KLIA2.

It all started when on April Fool’s day Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi suggested that the LCCT be closed by May 9 , a week after the May 2 scheduled opening date for KLIA2.

Unfortunately for AirAsia, which operates over 80 percent of the flights at the LCCT, Aziz Kaprawi was not pulling an April Fool’s joke.
