KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd boss Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said he “welcomes” the Government’s overhaul of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), which he believed would benefit both his group and the national carrier.

“It seems Khazanah Nasional Bhd really wants MAS to be run commercially. We welcome that. It’s good to have two strong airlines,” he told journalists at the launch of “Fill Up & Fly Free Campaign” by AirAsia BIG and Petronas Dagangan Bhd.
