  1. LOW-COST carrier AirAsia Bhd (5099) will retail merchandise bearing the artwork of popular local cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid, or commonly known as Lat, starting next month.

     

    AirAsia will produce a limited edition line of Lat merchandise such as t-shirts, caps, and disposal cameras, said Lat.

     

    He was speaking to reporters after the AirAsia-Lat Livery plane launch in Sepang yesterday. This marks the second AirAsia plane to carry Lat's drawings on its body.

     

    The first time both parties collaborated was five years ago, when one of AirAsia's Boeing 737 was painted with Lat's cartoons.

    "When we go to foreign countries, we see that the cartoon characters there are representative of those countries and tell the identity of the people. It is the best medium to communicate," said Lat.

     

    Likewise, it is important for local art and music to be shared abroad, and AirAsia is pivotal in facilitating this.

     

    "I'm glad that these characters can go abroad and people can see the product of a different land," Lat said during his speech.

     

    He added that he wanted the characters and storyboard to reflect the culture and the way of life of Asean people as what AirAsia has grown to become.

     

    AirAsia group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said Lat's artwork on its aircraft has helped it realise AirAsia's dream of becoming a true Asean airline. "With the aircraft flying all over Asean, we believe that his creativity will inspire other young artists to greater height."

     

    The plane will be utilised on its Southeast Asian routes as well as China and India.

     

    "Next, we would like to work with him on our aircraft safety cards. Maybe the Kampung Boy learning to use a life jacket," he added.

     

    Fernandes said AirAsia would also like to showcase Lat's drawings on its A330 fleet.

     

    Also present at the launch ceremony was rocker-activist Sir Bob Geldof, who praised AirAsia's efforts in promoting air travel by keeping air fares low.

    Got a great travel photo? Can it win this photo contest?

     

     

    Meanwhile, Fernandes said AirAsia has no plans to re-impose a fuel surcharge despite the rising oil prices.

    LOW-fare airline Ryanair is considering charging passengers to use the toilets on its planes, it was revealed today.

    Customers of the Irish no-frills carrier might have to fork out £1 to "spend a penny" on flights, Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary said.

     

    Which? Holiday magazine condemned the plan, saying Ryanair was "plumbing the depths".

     

    Speaking on the BBC1 Breakfast programme, Mr O'Leary said: "One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in future."

     

    He went on: "We are always looking at ways of making air travel cheaper. We are all about finding ways of raising revenue so we can keep lowering air fares."

     

    Asked if this meant passengers being charged as much as £1 for a loo visit on Ryanair flights, Mr O'Leary replied: "I don't think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound."

     

    Rochelle Turner, head of research at Which? Holiday, said: "It seems Ryanair is prepared to plumb any depth to make a fast buck and, once again, is putting profit before the comfort of its customers.

     

    "Charging people to go to the toilet might result in fewer people buying overpriced drinks on board, though – that would serve Ryanair right."

     

    Last week, Ryanair announced it was to shut all check-in desks at airports by the end of the year, with all passengers having to check in online instead.

     

    The Irish budget carrier also charges for hold luggage and – like other low-fare airlines – charges for on-board food and drink.

     

     

    Is Michael O'Leary's idea a step too far by the frugal airline or a clever way of reducing air fares?

    Sokong nama 'Mahathir' ganti KLIA

     

    ALOR SETAR 24 Feb. - Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Mohd. Ali Rustam berkata, cadangan supaya Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) ditukar nama kepada Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Mahathir sebagai langkah yang cukup baik.

     

    Bagaimanapun, kata beliau, terpulang kepada kerajaan mempertimbangkan cadangan tersebut yang mengambil sempena nama bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad itu.

     

    "Cadangan tukar nama baik, di Melaka pun kerajaan negeri memutuskan menukar nama Lapangan Terbang Batu Berendam kepada Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Melaka," katanya.

     

    Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas majlis pelancaran Buku Semangat Keris Melayu oleh Sultan Kedah, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah di sini hari ini.

     

    Mohd. Ali mengulas laporan akhbar hari ini mengenai cadangan Majlis Bekas Wakil Rakyat Malaysia (Mubarak) supaya KLIA ditukar nama kepada Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Mahathir bagi menghargai sumbangan bakti Dr. Mahathir.
