Our Boeing 737 planes have been mutated to lift 380 passengers compared AirAsias 18! 0. Our a ircraft turn-around time will be super discerning - twelve mins com! pared to AirAsias twenty-five minutes. Each aircraft will only be manned by a pilot, there will be no co-pilots or stewardess. And a planes will run upon a really own minyak kelapa sawit.
