    AirAsia was established in 1993 and began operations on 18 November 1996. It was originally founded by a government-owned conglomerate, DRB-Hicom. The heavily-indebted airline was bought by former Time Warner executive Tony Fernandes's company Tune Air Sdn Bhd for the token sum of one ringgit with 40 million ringgit worth of debts on 2 December 2001. Fernandes turned the company around, producing a profit in 2002 and launching new routes from its hub in Kuala Lumpur, undercutting former monopoly operator Malaysia Airlines with promotional fares as low as 1 ringgit. AirAsia's CEO Tony Fernandes subsequently unveiled a five-year plan to further enhance its presence in Asia. Under the plan, AirAsia proposes to strengthen and enhance its route network by connecting all the existing cities in the region and expanding further into Vietnam, Indonesia, Southern China (Kunming, Xiamen, Shenzhen) and India. The airline will focus on developing its hubs in Bangkok and Jakarta through its sister companies, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia. With increased frequency and the addition of new routes, AirAsia expects passenger volume to reach 18 million by the end of 2007.

Air Asia was established in 1994 and began operation on 18th November 1996. It was founded by a government-owned conglomerate DRB-Hicom. Its hubs are in Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2. AirAsia is very first budget or low cost carrier (LCC). It is co-founded in Malaysia by two prominent entrepreneurs, Mr. Tony Fernandes and Mr. Kamaruddin Meranun, which have spotted business opportunity arising from the inexistence of the much needed affordable air travel service in Asia. Mr. Fernandes and Mr. Meranun acquired the then loss-making full carrier AirAsia in 2001 from a government-owned company and transformed it into a profitable LCC. Current AirAsia imitates the low-cost airline business model first introduced by Southwest Airlines Co (Southwest), the pioneer of LCC business.…

In 2004, it began its first international service and in 2007, expanded into long-haul flights run by a different brand: AirAsia X. That year, the company achieved its title as “The World Lowest Cost Airline,” and was also one of the world’s most profitable airlines.
