AirAsia to open fast-food restaurant serving its inflight food
The idea of airline food being so delicious that it should be offered on the ground is laughable to most people, but Air Asia Group’s CE Tony Fernandes is dead serious about opening a fast-food restaurant, likely to be in its home market Malaysia first, that will serve the carrier’s inflight dishes. “Our food is fantastic. We believe in it so much that we’re going to start a fast-food restaurant out of it. It’s called Santan,” he said Friday. The carrier does serve one of, if not the most, extensive on-board menus featuring comfort food that is to regional passengers what pasta is to Italians. Passengers can pre-book meals to enjoy greater savings. The airline said it leveraged data from more than 400m guests carried over the years to create the menu. “Food is a great unifying factor across the region,” said Fernandes. <br/>
