Hopeful of launching flights in India in next 2-3 months, AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes has said the airline would introduce 'dramatically' low fares in the country, which would be cheapest in the market and take air travel to masses.
Fernandes, who is in Davos for World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting, said that AirAsia India is fully prepared from its side for the launch and is waiting for final government approvals that should come soon and help it begin flights by March-April this year.
"I think we are coming very close and March-April should be time when we should begin the India operations," the Malaysia-based airline major AirAsia's Chief Executive Officer told PTI in an interview.
AirAsia has partnered with Tata group and Arun Bhatia-led Telstra Tradeplace for AirAsia India, which is looking to run low-cost passenger airline service in the country.
Fernandes said that all preparatory work has been completed by the company for launch of its flights and it is just waiting to "open the sale" of the tickets.
