Indian police source says still seeking to quiz AirAsia boss; airline denies summons

New Delhi: India’s federal police will again ask AirAsia Group’s chief to appear for questioning over allegations the airline broke rules to obtain a flying license in the country, a source said on Wednesday, after he failed to answer a previous request.
On Friday a police source told Reuters the airline’s chief executive, Tony Fernandes, had been asked to appear before India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 6. AirAsia, however, said it had received no such summons, which had also been reported by other media.

“We wish to state categorically that neither AirAsia Group nor Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, in his personal capacity, has received any such notice as of today,” the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

When asked on Wednesday, the federal police source repeated that a summons had been made, but declined to comment on whether it had been delivered as a written notice or in another form, saying that such details of the investigation were confidential.
