Dubai: AirAsia wants to one day use its new India hub to springboard its Southeast Asian hubs into Europe and Africa.
“I see India in a different way than most people see India … there’s no reason why India cannot be a hub into Europe and Africa,” the airline’s Group Chief Executive, Tony Fernandes, told Gulf News in an interview on Wednesday.
Fernandes was in Dubai this week to speak at the Africa Global Business Forum.
AirAsia India, the group’s latest offshoot, launched flights from its Bengaluru hub in June. The airline fist planned to target second and third tier cities, however, recently made headlines when it announced it is looking at Mumbai and Delhi.
