Mumbai: Budget carrier AirAsia plans to aggressively grow its Indian affiliate's fleet by adding 10 planes a year and will focus operations on the country's under-utilised airports, the group's chief executive Tony Fernandes said on Monday.
AirAsia India, a joint venture between the Malaysia-based low-cost airline, Tata Group and investment firm Telestra Tradeplace, is expected to begin a domestic service from Chennai in the fourth quarter of 2013.
It will focus on connecting under-utilised airports within India instead of offering services to the country's main hubs Mumbai and New Delhi, Fernandes told a press conference in Mumbai.
To do this, it has an "aggressive" plan to add 10 Airbus A320 aircraft a year to its fleet, he added.
