The event held at the GMR Aerospace Hanger, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad was attended by Ratan N Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, Tony Fernandes, Group, Chief Executive Officer, Air Asia, Mittu Chandilya, CEO, Air Asia India and S Ramadorai, Non-Executive Chairman of Air Asia India.
Talking to newspersons later, Mittu Chandilya said Air Asia India will expand routes and flights in the country soon. It will induct the fifth aircraft in April and the sixth also very soon.
Asked about investments and expansion plans, Tony Fernandes said "Our investment plans will depend on a clarity on policy initiatives of the Government. We are very upbeat on India, the potential, both aviation and tourism related".
