  1. At the end of the day it boils down to dollar and cent. I booked air Asia for a family trip. The price discrepancy between air Asia and Malaysian airline is 4k. That’s rm four thousandsand why should I support malaysuan airline just because you hate air Asia?

    • well sir, it is your prerogative to use which airline you wish , after all this is a free country. your money you decide.

  2. Not only that, what about foreigners who are disabled? Obviously they do not have the card. Then Malaysia will be known as a cruel society who charges exorbitant on people simply because they are disabled.

    • Even the elderly persons, pregnant women, women with children and persons suffered from temporary immobility could not registered themselves as disabled with the Social Welfare Department. Every good corporate citizen must learn to be disabled friendly. If they are not or trying to bullshit their way around then the consumers should act against them. The world has moved to become Disabled Friendly accept AirAsia. The authority in other countries would have stopped such rediculous charges of wheelchair service.

  3. We should avoid patronizing any company which is not disabled friendly. AirAsia is known for taking the passengers for granted.

  4. Such business model of AirAsia will not be tolerated in the developed countries. The government through the Minister of Transport must registered its disapproval of the high service charge for wheelchair by issuing an immediate stop order to AirAsia.

  6. We must not tolerate a company like AirAsia. Being disabled friendly is the right thing. We all must act together. I agree with YB that we all must do our utmost to avoid flying AirAsia unless we had to other alternative. Boycott AirAsia.

  7. Most probably that Red Indian does not understand what DISABLED means! Or he pretend not to know for the sake of profits. He is only interested in money. Look at the share suap and see for yourself what he had done to screw up MAS in front of the Khazanah big boys.

  8. It is a clear case of discrimination by AirAsia against disabled persons. Why are the NGOs representing the disabled persons are so quiet about the service charge of RM60 for wheelchair imposed by the low caste airline?

  9. Jaya Jusco, shopping malls and even the airport provide special parking spaces for the disabled. But this low caste carrier want to penalize the disabled persons with RM60 wheelchair service charge per trip. Oi! low caste Tony WTF you are trying to do to the disabled. Society as a whole must now penalize the low caste airline by boycotting it. Only a boycott for a few months will wake up that low caste fella.

  10. The AirAsia’s reply on this subject clearly showed that the bunting it puts up at the airport was a mere publicity exercise for expediency. It is not sincere at all. Hence the RM60 service charge for the wheelchair. The Ministry of Transport must come down hard on AirAsia. Members of the public must also speak with one voice: boycott until it learns to respect the disabled persons. AirAsia must be made to pay for its disgusting behavior.

    I also support boycotting it. It will only learn when it hurts the pocket.

  11. The government must take firm actions against AirAsia for penalising a person just because he is disabled. All countries have move towards disabled friendly. withdraw all routes that have been approved and not flown by AirAsia. I believe that Slumberjack government has approved many routes for AirAsia and many have not flown because it is not ready. The government should not be friendly to such irresponsible company.

  12. Look at how misleading is the banner used by AirAsia. This is typical of AirAsia. It will always take the public for a ride. Just beware when you deal with AirAsia.

  13. AK at KLIA 2

    YB, question now is whether AAsia will be paying the aerobridge charges at KLIA 2 or will they continue to delay or avoid paying as history would suggest. Secondly, will MAB act similarly so as not to annoy “Khazanah/MOT” as history would suggest by tolerating this sort of belligerent corporate behaviour or be as strict as the Indonesian airport authorities.

    MAHB top management has no balls to take actions against AA because they know that Tony is closed to Khazanah’s boss. Tony is very powerful that’s why MAHB dared not take action when AA owed more than RM100 million airport tax.

  15. U all not business minded…u flying low caste airline then want everything free ka…. no free lunch la bro…. mr tony, after this lets charge rm 5 to use the toilet inside the aircraft and extra rm50 for the seat cushion…. can i have 5% profit from these idea??????

    • If Tony reads this, he will be jumping for joy. How about special fees for sitting on the chair in the plane? Say RM100. I would like to get a fee of 2% only for this small idea/

  16. Thanks for your posting. Honestly I hated AirAsia not only they mistreated the handicapped badly but even they senior citizens as well.

    Can you imagine? They even want to assault the senior citizen just because her hand luggage was 0.2 KG heavier?

    After I saw this rude incident, i vow to Boycott AirAsia even if their tickets are tempting.

  17. Malindo Air does have WheelChair Charges within MALAYSIA even if you are registered OKU
