its because your average graalian goes "EKKSD EKXDD XDD Y IS THER EAIRE ASIA NO 1 LUV IT" when air asia is there, and then once it gets kebabd the same people go "BAD GETESZTAPO ADMENS BRING ITBACK1!!"
personally, air asia was one of my favorite spots. aesthetically it kept that old graal gfx feel w/ the older tileset, and had a library amongst other things.
