KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes revealed on Monday his plans to start a new super-premium regional airline in partnership with national carrier Malaysia Airlines.
'Here is another idea that has come out of AirAsia which will create more more value, more jobs and more business.
'If an idea like this does materialise... it will definitely involve Malaysia Airlines,' he told reporters.

Mr Fernandes said the proposed short-haul carrier would cater largely to business travellers, among others, who need to travel across the region quickly.
