Chief compares airline dining options

AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes stated that his carrier's in-flight meals are better than those served by Singapore Airlines. He shared photos of a noodle dish and himself aboard a Singapore Airlines flight to support his claim. Some social media users agreed that the Santan brand offers a good selection of food.

Passengers prioritize punctuality over meals

Many travellers commented that passengers do not choose an airline solely based on its meal quality. One user noted that while the service was great, flight delays remain a significant issue for AirAsia. Others suggested that the carrier should focus on fixing operational problems rather than boasting about food.
