AirAia in restructure mode

Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia is undergoing a major restructuring led by its parent company, Capital A.


The plan is that Capital A would divest 100 per cent of its shares in two short-haul subsidiaries to a new company, AirAsia Group, for MYR6.8 billion and Capital

A would receive AirAsia Group shares, retaining a direct ownership of 18.39 per cent in the new company, (which also would hold shares in long haul 'sister' airline AirAsia X).

Capital A ceo Tony Fernandes, who recently signed a five-year employment contract with the parent firm, said the restructuring would drive growth across

Capital A's non-airline businesses like digital services and logistics.

The proposals are expected to be completed by Q3 this year.
