Same with me.. My first KF was an experience all together.. and till date I like them.. if only they would continue flying.. as per the latest news, IATA has suspended KF license.. It’s a shame.. why don’t they do it to AI..!!!

But the difference between expectation (S2 was a classy outfit) and what actually happened that flight was just too large. I will likely never fly S2 again.
Same with me.. My fisrt original S2 was a great experience.. Jet Lite was a SHOCK..!! I won’t go as far to say I won’t fly them again.. I now look at them the same way I look at Jet Konnect.. so I am quite fine with them now..

Surprisingly for me, they haven’t been that reliable.. my last flight, I was at the airport for 8 hours becoz of their incompetency.. though I was impressed with a particular AI ground staff who was handling the passengers..

Oh u mean mean fellow.. Not paying taxes and flying AI’s flag..

And as for the idea of flying them so that we have a smaller tax bill.. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.. so I would rather people flew more IT, so that they come out of the mess they are in..

So here’s the deal.. as it still makes me mad, I would want to see this airline shut down.. I don’t see any hope for this airlines to be profitable or viable..
