Grounded by AirAsia

I just got a call from my parents in Langkawi. At the time of the call, they were supposed to have boarded the plane. So when my phone rang, I thought, “Aren’t they supposed to be on the plane right now?”.

Apparently the engine (or engines – it was unclear as the call was brief) could not start. All passengers were stranded and things were (and still are – as I’m writing this, I believe) in a mess. Mom said that AirAsia would probably put them on a new flight if that particular plane couldn’t take off. Whatever it is, their departure is delayed indefinitely.

The irony is that, in just less than 10 minutes before I received mom’s call, I was telling sis about how we could fly on FAX and go yamcha in London, as suggested by Papimami and yit4s. Ho-humm…

(AirAsia X is a sub. of FAX, which, again, is a sub. of AirAsia and if you’ve seen today’s paper, you’d know that they’re chanting “Now Everyone Can Fly Extra-long”.)

Probably, for AirAsia, they could use “Now Everyone Can FlyWait Extra-long”.
