Kuala Lumpur
MALAYSIA-BASED budget carrier AirAsia on Wednesday sought to quash speculation that a wave of pilots calling in sick - which stranded hundreds of furious passengers - was actually a protest over working conditions.
AirAsia has said that around a dozen pilots had called in sick this week, throwing domestic and international flights into disarray on Tuesday as passengers complained that the airline's chaotic handling of the logjam forced many to sleep overnight in Malaysian airport terminals.
