Branson to be AirAsia stewardess after losing bet

Posted: 20 December 2012 1320 hrs

 

KUALA LUMPUR: British billionaire Richard Branson will finally wear a red skirt and serve as a stewardess on Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia in May after losing a Grand Prix bet with the founder of the airline.

 

Virgin boss Branson and AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes had agreed in 2010 that whichever of their teams (then Virgin and Lotus) finished lower in the constructors' championship in their debut season, the losing owner would serve on the other's airline.

 

Branson lost as Lotus finished 10th and Virgin 12th, but the trip was postponed in early 2011 after he injured himself while skiing.

 

Fernandes said Branson had contacted him to honour his bet.

 

"He will be an AirAsia stewardess in May on AirAsia. 2 years late but main point he hasn't forgotten," Fernandes tweeted.

 

Fernandes had previously said that Branson would strut down the aisle to offer coffee, tea or other food and beverages to guests on a special 13-hour Kuala Lumpur to London flight.

 

The tickets for the flight would be auctioned off for charity.

on a side note..does anyone know Tony Fernandes used to work under Richard Branson?

if i remember correctly virgin started the budget air concept in europe, and soon airasia started one in asia (malaysia), they probably cross share.
