Airlines such as Lionair,Garuda and Vietjet don’t worry about “busy summer seasons” groundbum. That is a UK thing.
Here in Asia it is a 12 month flying season and I pax with all the loco’s.
I am off to Hong Kong tomorrow with Air Asia and returning next week with Thai Smile.
Both, I am happy to say ,operate Airbus fleets.
