Tan Sri Tony Fernandes - Founder and Group CEO of AirAsia Bhd


INDIA is the biggest market that Tony Fernandes is hoping to anchor in next year.

He had big dreams and had hoped to land in India this year, but it simply did not happen. He had to abandon two launch dates – September and October – as AirAsia India could not obtain a permit. While he hopes to receive the schedule operator permit or SOP in January to begin flying out of Chennai, Bernama has reported that he may now need to wait until mid-2014 before it can start flying.
