Also brewing was AirAsia's move to acquire Philippines-based low cost carrier Zest Airways. In an article yesterday, Business Inquirer said: “Highly placed Inquirer sources said that while nothing has been signed as of yet, negotiations were ongoing between AirAsia and the group of former ambassador and juice-drink magnate Alfred Yao.” According to the daily, Yao declined to confirm negotiations with AirAsia but admitted that Zest Airways had been approached by several parties on the possibility of joining hands with new investors to compete in the Philippines' crowded skies.
The Times of India reported on Wednesday that AirAsia might be the first carrier to invest in the aviation industry there after India's cabinet decided to allow foreign investors to own up to a 49% stake in its airlines.
The newspaper also reported that Asia's largest low-cost carrier was looking at the possibility of a start-up with a strong Indian partner instead of investing in an existing airline.
Replying to the Indian daily through e-mail, AirAsia Group chief Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said: “We will make statements in due course.”
