Tony Fernandes, chief executive officer of Capital A Bhd., during the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore, on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023. AirAsia founder and CEO Tony Fernandes says he does not regret the viral LinkedIn post that showed him receiving a massage during a meeting — and that transparency is worth potential controversy. The Malaysian businessman is known for an unfiltered approach to posting on social media. It has a disadvantage, that people will misrepresent and misunderstand Tony Fernandes the persona," he said. But by far the strongest reaction to a social media post by Fernandes came in October, when the businessman shared a photograph of himself shirtless in the office.

AirAsia airplanes are pictured on the tarmac at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang on January 8, 2024. Malaysian conglomerate Capital A intends to sell its budget carrier business to medium- to long-haul affiliate AirAsia X in a major consolidation of the country's airline industry. Brand licensing opportunities could include hotels, mobile services and airlines in markets such as south Asia and Africa where AirAsia does not have subsidiaries, Fernandes said. The deal values the new company, Capital A International, at $1.15 billion, according to a release Wednesday. That will create a unified Air Asia Group, Fernandes said, which is targeting a $400 million equity raise, according to Reuters.

Hong Kong CNN —AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes has created a firestorm on social media after sharing a photo of himself receiving a massage topless during a management meeting. In his post, the business mogul said he’d had “a stressful week,” so a colleague suggested he get a massage. “Got to love Indonesia and AirAsia culture that I can have a massage and do a management meeting,” Fernandes wrote. The post was deleted days later after a wave of criticism, with many LinkedIn users saying his behavior was unprofessional. AirAsia Group rebranded to Capital A last year, in efforts to show how AirAsia was becoming “more than just an airline,” according to a company statement at the time.

☆ Capital A to combine AirAsia and AirAsia X as part of restructuring plan
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Jamie Freed | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Capital A, headed by Fernandes, will retain the digital, logistics and aviation services businesses, while AirAsia X will be renamed AirAsia Aviation and be led by long-time executive Bo Lingam under the plan. Capital A hopes submit to Bursa Malaysia Securities for approval in February. AirAsia X is also classified as PN17, but in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, Fernandes said under the restructuring plan, both listed companies would emerge from that status by July 2023. Capital A investors will receive an in-specie distribution in the former AirAsia X, giving them exposure to a pure airline business with multiple brands. Fernandes said the distressed-company status had a "major impact" on the airline's share price by reducing investor confidence, which he hoped to restore through the restructuring plan.

Despite soaring oil prices and weakening currencies, the outlook for aviation remains positive due to "extremely strong" demand, said Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia parent company Capital A. "In AirAsia we have 205 aircrafts and in AirAsia X we have about 20 aircrafts … getting slots and obviously getting them ready for service has been a big challenge."

AirAsia X shares dropped after the Oct. 31 announcement, and losses since the development still stood at about 5% as of Friday morning.
