Sir Richard Branson might have to pull out of his appearance as an AirAsia stewardess on a London to Kuala Lumpur flight on February 21 due to a skiing injury.

The billionaire lost a bet with fellow airline owner Tony Fernandes because Branson's Virgin Racing finished behind Fernandes' Lotus in 2010. The pair had planned to auction tickets, but with the in-flight entertainment in doubt, the trip might have to be delayed.

"Update on Richard Branson flight," Fernandes posted on Twitter. "May be a delay as Richard injured himself skiing. Will call him today. So that's why no announcement yet"
