It truly baffles me how they can make a big fuss, call a press conference, announce to the world, promote special fares and set a launch date... when they did - not - have - the - planes!!!!!!!Yes, after all the hype - which was reported even in the UK - Air Asia X will not deliver. Not this year anyway. Read the report here.
Sure, i understand if there are some matters which need to be ironed out, edges trimmed, holes filled. But dun u think that being an airline, the first thing that has to be confirmed before selling yourself to the whole world is to get the planes first? Or at least one plane?
But some brilliant person insisted that they publicise cheap flights to UK this July - with or without any confirmation that they will get at least one aeroplane by then. Apparently, a spokesman described it as a "minor technical issue". What the....?????
It just baffles me!!!
I guess i'm disappointed as this is more or less the nail in the coffin on whatever hopes i had harboured to go back to the UK this July for a sweet reunion wif me ex-flatmates. :-(
