Tony Fernandes flies SIA after missing AirAsia flight, says ‘service was great, internet amazing’, gives its food a thumbs-down

On October 1, Tony Fernandes, co-founder of AirAsia, shared his experience on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight via Instagram. Fernandes took the SIA flight because he couldn't obtain an AirAsia flight. He praised SIA's service and internet, saying, "Service was great, internet amazing." However, he criticized the food, stating, "food was poor."

His post featured a picture of his in-flight meal, which appeared to consist of noodles in a red gravy with beef and vegetables. Fernandes also praised AirAsia's in-flight catering service, Santan, describing it as "far far better" and mentioning that the cabin crew agreed. He concluded that it was a "great flight," while AirAsia was "not far off."

The airline has since announced plans to enhance its dining experience with a new SIA Chef’s Selection in-flight menu, featuring more than 100 new and refreshed dishes across all cabin classes using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local producers.
