The partnership between All Nippon Airways and AirAsia in a Japanese low cost carrier has ended in acrimony. The International Herald Tribune reports. Shinzo Shimuzu, a senior VP at ANA, declared: “AirAsia may be almighty in Southeast Asia, but it wasn’t fit to provide the meticulous service called for in Japan. Even a low-cost carrier requires attentive service, and the airline was not up to the task.”
