Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson turned stewardess after losing a bet to AirAsia Group CEO, Tony Fernandes.
Two years ago, they made a bet on their Formula 1 racing teams, each man
betting his own team would finish ahead of the other's in the 2010
Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi.The loser would have to serve as a
female flight attendant on the winner's airline
Donning red lipstick, a flight attendant's skirt and high heels, the
maverick businessman served drinks, made intercom announcements and
chatted up passengers on an AirAsia X flight from Perth, Australia, to
Kuala Lumpur.
Branson served the guy who made this happen -- Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia Group. |
"This has been a real first for me but I have enjoyed the experience and
I have nothing but respect for what our fabulous flight attendants do
every day to keep us safe," said Branson after the flight.
