Air Asia announced more charges

In a move that sent shockwave throughout aviation world, Air Asia earlier today announced more charges to be paid by its flyers.

Starting from May, all Air Asia passengers must pay more if they wear shirts, pants, skirts as well as underwear. “You need to pay for what you use, that’s only fair,” spokesperson Sucker Fernandes said in a hastily arranged press conference. “Our study shows that pants and skirts add to the weight during flights and it’s unfair to ask for naked customers to pay the same fare as fully-clothed customers.”

Under the new plan, customers who put on pants and skirts must pay additional RM 5 per segment and those who wear underwear must pay RM 3 extra. “As the weight of g-strings are negligible, we won’t charge those with g-strings, regardless of gender,” Sucker clarified.

Furthermore, those who board the plane with jacket will be slapped with overweight charge of RM 50, while socks and shoes will be charged at RM 5 per pair. Passengers are given option to pre-purchase, at a discount, the right to put on clothes, while booking for their flights. “It’s green, it’s fair. Lesser clothes = lighter planes = less fuel = low fares,” Mr. Fernandes said.
As part of the new plan, Air Asia also unveiled a new tagline, “Now everyone naked can fly”.
