Now Everyone Can Fly, a photo from Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

The Slogan of AirAsia goes as 慛ow Everyone Can Fly�. It is now the leading airline that was established in the year 2001 with the dream of making flying possible and achievable by everyone around any corner of the world.
Hmmm. It seems that at the moment nobody can fly.

from the harbour in Labuan Bajo we went to the Komodo Airport. It is a small airport with just the one aircraft waiting for the passengers going to Denpasar. No need to use buses or airbridges.
Bye-bye Komodo.

Two more pictures in Workshops.
In the large format, you can see the Indonesian flag. It looks like the Polish flag but we have a white stripe in the upper part and red below.

Hello Malgo,
This is the kind of airport that even I could enjoy. So small and simple, not one km of walking along endless corridors, no restaurants selling overpriced junk food, no need to pass through crowded shops selling the same expensive "tax free" goods as everywhere else. It's like going to the shop down the corner instead of a super market. And it's possible to take much nicer photos. They capture the excitement of travelling much better than it's possible at any of the modern mastodont airports. I like these three photos with their nice light and good colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo,
A rare view today such an airplane in the sky. The slogan is now definitely obsolete.
I cycled near Schiphol yesterday and saw only one plane landing while "in the past" a plane landed every 2 to 3 minutes.
Frankly, it is a lot quieter and the air a lot cleaner, but our annual trip name USA and Canada is not possible now.
Well done
Be careful and stay safe, Rob

Hello Malgo,

I wonder, will air travel decrease somewhat after all this trouble, with clear evidence of how the aeroplanes pollute the sky!

All three photographs are crisp and clear.
I really like the w/s, with close-up details of the rear and the front of the plane. They seem a little more unusual.

Keep safe,
Bev :-)

Ciao Malgo,in fact for the moment your title is only a message of hope, also because no airline should reopen the routes to travel with almost empty planes. 3 beautiful photos of this little AirAsia, maybe I inspired your post with my Emirates yesterday ... ehehe... Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Hi Malgo,

The presence of the persons is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the detaiks of the Air Asia Airbus A320. The cloudy sky does not hurt the colours output. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
A wonderful perspective upon the plane on the tarmac, its red and white colors stand good contrast against the green far beyond.
This specific plane, an Airbus 320, registration PK-AZA is a 7.5 years old, powered by two CFMI CFM56-5B4/P turbo-fan engines.
Fine outcome, bravo.
Ike

Hello Malgo,

It seems or the airport not is very important, with one airplane
Sky and clouds are a nice addition.
Sharpness and clarity make your picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hello Malgo,
'Now everyone can fly' has well been implemented by this airline.
Before leaving for Asia last year, I had planned to travel by land as much as possible and not take the plane too often. I think the influence of the climate demonstrations in Belgium.
I finally succumbed several times for the low prices applied by the company.
I dare say that I found AirAsia a very decent airline and they offer enormous flights.
Red and white are apparently a suitable combination for the national flags of different countries.
Besides Poland and Indonesia, many other countries use these colours, although in a different arrangement: Malta, Austria, Switzerland, Latvia, Denmark, Greenland, Peru, Canada, Georgia, Singapore, Japan, etc. etc.
Only the flags of Poland and Indonesia are mirror images of each other.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Malgo,
I like this kind of airports where bridges don't block the view of aircraft. It is also a good photo opportunity to take a shot or two while walking on tarmac. My urge to go somewhere means that I'╨l probably upload a view like this here sooner or later. The title text is quite ironic now.

Hello dear Malgo,

Yes, now no-one can fly! So it sounds as though you were very fortunate to manage to get home when you did.

I like these three photographs very much because they remind me of the airports I visited in Madagascar back in 2001 - even the airport in the capital, Antananarivo, is quite small and the others we visited in Morondava and Hell Ville were tiny - as Gert says, very small airports don't sell junk food - well, those didn't actually sell any food at all apart from crisps and Fanta!

Yes, three lovely photographs, perfectly exposed and clear and sharp and a perfect reminder of your last few minutes in Labuan Bajo.

Wonderful!

You take care.

Kind Regards,

John. xx

Hello Malgo,
That slogan sounds pretty ironic in these times when most aircraft are parked on runways at airports around the world. The red colours of the fuselage stand out well from the dark grey clouds here.

Czesc Malgorzata,
Niestety teraz wszystkie samoloty uziemione.
Mam nadzieje ze ograniczenia wkrotce znikna tak jak i Covid19.
Bardzo ladna fotka.
Pozdrawiam

Swietna prezentacja tej linii :) prawie jak folder reklamowy. W Europie popularniejsi sa przewoznicy z Irlandii i Wegier. Wlasnie szukajac odpowiedzi, kiedy ten ostatni rozliczy sie ze mna za niewykonane uslugi natrafilem na watek... rolowania biletow. Czyl firma za niezrealizowany przez COVID lot zwraca w "swoich" punktach 120% wartosci biletow. Za to kupowany jest najblizszy mozliwy lot, ktory takze zostaje odwolany i znowu 120% i tak dalej... Pytanie pozostaje czy i kiedy te "srodki" beda faktycznie do wykorzystania
pozdrawiam
Piotr

Taki widok wzbudza irytacje, ze nie ma tej swobody jak wczesniej, ale ponoc srodowisko odetchnelo, bo mniej zanieczyszczen w powietrzu, ale na ziemi chyba wiecej przy wszystkich plastikowych rekawicach i opakowaniach
pozdrawiam Ryszard

I had seen this jet first time in the images of miguel, looks you and he went to that region in the same time. haha.
I liked a lot the contrast of the red against the darker sky.

take care

Hello Malgo,

It now seems strange to have to walk out on the tarmac or board a bus or trolley train to get to the departing flight. The note explains why there are no air bridges. Tfs!

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-05-18 2:01

Hello, this aircraft belonging to the Malaysian company Air Asia Berhad was waiting for passengers on the tarmac. The workshops show other interesting pov. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
