Very succinct piece Lowkoon..send it to the SCMP!! its about time the media locked on to the sense that sometimes comes from this site….Air Asia, being what it is, makes you wonder how our HK LCC has managed to keep all their hulls. The corporate 'elasticity" in Air Asia and their assessment of risk to cost and loss will absorb this more than adequately. There will be the usual theatre from the CEO and after the dust has settled, together with the rhetoric of the regulators, it will be business as usual in the Asia region!!! RIP to 162 souls.
