AirAsia pioneered low cost travelling in Asia and is also the first
airline in the region to implement fully ticketless travel.
The airline was established in 1993 and started operations on
November 18, 1996. It was originally founded by a government-owned
conglomerate DRB-Hicom. On December 2, 2001, the heavily-indebted
airline was purchased by former Time Warner executive Tony Fernandes’
company Tune Air Sdn Bhd.
On December 27, 2006, AirAsia’s CEO Tony Fernandes unveiled a
five-year plan to further enhance its presence in Asia.In the plan,
AirAsia will strengthen and enhance its route network by connecting all
the existing cities in the region and expanding further into Indochina,
Indonesia, Southern China (Kun Ming, Xiamen, Shenzen) and India. The
airline will focus on developing its hubs in Bangkok and Jakarta through
its sister companies, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia. Late last year
the airline abolished fuel surcharges and so claimed to be the ‘first
airline in the world to abolish fuel surcharges’. |
