January 5th 2007 14:16
On 1st January, 2007, a Malaysian english language daily, The Star, broke the news of a formation of a global budget airlines alliance comprise of AirAsia, Virgin and EasyJet, taking on long-haul routes.
However, international news wire agency, Reuters, reported a collective denial by Virgin and EasyJet regarding the so-called alliance. The word is "might" and the initiative to be taken by AirAsia of Malaysia via Fly Regional Express (FAX).
So much so for the euphoria but FAX seems for now to be the only credible hope for budget concious travellers to hop in for an affordable long-haul flight. The Government of Malaysia has approved FAX to fly to destinations in Australia, Asia and Europe not served by the flag-carrier, Malaysian Airlines (MAS).
