No way AirAsia is bigger than SIA
AIRASIA chief Tony Fernandes' claim two weeks ago that his budget airline is bigger than Singapore Airlines is way off the mark.

* How many aircraft and aircraft types does AirAsia have?

* How many staff and crew does AirAsia have?

* How many classes of cabins does AirAsia offer passengers?

* How often does AirAsia buy new aircraft to maintain its safety record?

* How much profit does AirAsia make?

* How much does AirAsia pay its staff, crew and shareholders in bonuses?

* What kinds of food and beverage does AirAsia provide passengers?

* Can AirAsia provide the same level of service as SIA without charging passengers much more?

Number of passengers alone does not indicate that AirAsia is bigger than SIA or any other airline.
