Aerospace Diary

Neelam Mathews March 27, 2013  An industry person told me the other day, my blog posts had recently been covering a lot of AirAsia. For a person who believes in being fair, that came as a surprise. However, looking back, I must confess the person was right, I must clarify- this isn't because of any  agenda, but simply, because, like it or not, founder of AirAsia Tony Fernandes always manages to stand out bigger than life! By the looks of it, Indian aviation media will keep pretty busy in the time to come! As a member of the fourth estate, I welcome all  competitors in the airline business to scream your hearts out. A promise- your voice will be heard and noted!         Tony tweets-   The Apprentice. Crew who are going to be in the show .             All we can see is the face on the plane. Hell of a way of making a point!

Neelam Mathews March 19, 2013 Tony tweets-  Due to AirAsia and the Apprentice, won't be going to many Asian races.   The marketing at AirAsia never stops- Awesome!

Neelam Mathews Feb 21, 2013 Tony Fernandes will start filming the series of 'Apprentice' (Asia) (remember Donald Trump?) starting this monday, he told Aerospace Diary during a telephonic press conference a few minutes ago. "The response from India has been tremendous," said the low cost airline Asian tsar who added that the series would help in enhancing the AirAsia image in India. "But, lets not kid ourselves," the product needs to deliver what it promises, he added. On whether AirAsia was likely to put some airlines out of business, he said: "Businesses put themselves out of business provided they capitalize and have the right business model."
