Travel AirAsia’s Game-Changing Leap: Low-Cost Flights from Southeast Asia to Europe & the US
AA is American Airlines. FD is Thai Air Asia. AK is Air Asia. You apparently are unaware that the carrier went into a tailspin and was nearly shut down in 2022. It went into state backed restructuring, and in 2023 started paying just 0.5% of its RM 33.5 billion of its debt. The restructuring was to avoid liquidation. A passenger owed a ticket refund of RM20,000 only received RM100. https://support.airasia.com/s/article/AirAsia-X-Debt-Restructuring-Settlement-to-Scheme-Creditors?language=en_GB Thousands of passengers were left like this after the. airline went into meltdown. Air Asia's website issues are well documented. You are fortunate not to have had one of the common. issues. Airlines cancel flights all the time. It can be mechanical, or it can be weather related or it can be equipment shortages or it can be due to an air space closure. You are presenting only a portion of the Thai Lion incident. Air Asia works for you. That's great. Keep flying them. Enjoy yourself. Just don't complain when it turns into a gong show. You get what you pay for. The idea of sitting in a cramped cabin with pax who bring on their tandoori meals or garlic laden appetizers doesn't appeal to many people. Bringing one's one entertainment only works for as long as one's laptop battery work and is not particularly comfortable in the small space of Y. Not everyone enjoys a transit and layover in the middle east, particularly if there is a risk of IROPs. Air Asia is fine when it works, but when it doesn't it becomes an absolute mess with little opportunity for recovery. I am just happy I can avoid the airline and the clientele if attracts. -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Very brave soldier, I feel for the ones who have a conscience yet are forced to fight. I saw that, it’s awful that this is being refuted by Western leaders. I'm frankly disgusted with my own country’s government, and of corse the USA. -

UK Mohammed Fahir Amaaz & Muhammad Amaad on Trial over Manchester Airport Clash
Sorry I thought it was said that he had. "Controversies Anwar made controversial statements in the aftermath of the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack, in which he claimed "[t]hat there is no difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber, the effects are still the same." In further remarks, he argued that there was a moral equivalence between the 9/11 hijackers and the United States when they bomb innocent civilians. On 9 January 2008, Sheriff Charlotte Coutts described Anwar's evidence as "not credible" during a trial in which he claimed to be the victim of racial abuse. In 2008, he faced allegations of contempt of court in light of a complaint by the presiding judge in the case, Colin Sutherland, after Anwar directly attacked the jury following the trial and conviction of Mohammed Siddique in the High Court of Justiciary. Sutherland accused Anwar of making unprofessional, defamatory, and factually inaccurate attacks on the judiciary, the jury, and the wider legal process, stating that Anwar was "hiding behind the cloak of his client" to make politically motivated attacks on anti-terrorism legislation. Anwar was the first lawyer in the UK to be put on trial for contempt of court for comments he made on behalf of his client at the end of a trial. Iain Banks joined Labour politician Tony Benn, George Galloway, Bashir Maan, Gareth Peirce, and others to argue that such a prosecution was detrimental to free speech. While finding Anwar's comments to be "misleading", Kenneth Osborne did not find him in contempt of court, but strongly criticised Anwar's behaviour, stating that statements from the lawyer were politically motivated and largely consisted of "angry and petulant criticism". Following a full investigation by Law Scotland, Anwar was cleared of all charges of misconduct. In January 2010, he was successful in having one of Siddique's convictions overturned at the Court of Appeal; as a result Siddique was freed from prison but remains a convicted terrorist.
