KUALA LUMPUR – What started off as an innocent question quickly turned into a lightning rod for beleaguered low-cost airline AirAsia.
Yesterday (June 11), the airline posted a question on its official Twitter account where it asked netizens on what advice they’ll give to first-time flyers.

Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go as planned as the tweet began to fill up with angry comments left by netizens who were upset with AirAsia’s services in recent weeks.

They also slammed the airline for dragging its feet on refunding customers for flights which were cancelled at the last minute without any prior notice.

However, Capital A Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes denied the allegations, saying that AirAsia had refunded nearly all customers who were affected by flight cancellations caused by the pandemic.
The airline has also come under immense scrutiny from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), who launched an investigation last month into the issue.
