The Final Farewell

By AirAsia Blog Team on Oct 9, 2008 | In Our Culture, What's New? | 8 comments »

AirAsia bade goodbye to its remaining Boeing 737 two days ago as the aircraft made its way from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to the LCCT. In paying tribute to Boeing, Group CEO Dato' Sri Tony Fernandes revealed that the Boeing 737s had rendered wonderful service and got AirAsia where it is today. The original fleet of B737s have made way for the new and more fuel efficient AirBus A320s.

Take a look at these.

It's the dawn of a new millenium, says Tony


Part of the farewell ceremony featured local strongman M. Muniandy pulling the aircraft for 45.72 cm with his hair!
 
Going out with a bang!

Last B737 for Malaysia AirAsia? Means.. Flight from KK-Penang finally replaced by Airbus as well? Great! Cause B737 is kind of "old" because, AirAsia did not plan to fix it. Ha..

But here another question, why not take one of the B737 and add another extra flight for KK-Penang? One flight per day is killing us here...

Good work for AirAsia.. fly with dream and improve with good achievement!
