    Ø Air Asia has a very strong management team with strong links with governments and airline industry leaders. This is partly contributed by the diverse background of the executive management teams which consists of industry experts and ex-top government officials. For example, Shin Corp (formerly owned by the family of former Thai Prime Minister - Thaksin Shinawatra) holds a 50% stake in Thai AirAsia. This has helped AirAsia to open up and capture a sizeable market in Thailand. With their strong working relationship with Airbus, they managed to get big discount for aircraft purchase which is also more fuel efficient compared to Boeing 737 planes which is being used by many other airlines…

    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.

In January of 2002, Tony re-launched AirAsia (previously a struggling government-owned airline) with only 3 planes and started serving the South-East Asian Market. 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. AirAsia was still able to earn 4% ROA during the recession in 2008. Between 2002 and 2009, AirAsia had expanded from 2 aircrafts and 200,000 passenger journeys to 79 aircrafts and 11.8 million passengers.…
