KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd’s head honcho Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has quashed rumours he is involved in talks to restructure Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and said he hopes Khazanah Nasional Bhd will be given the chance to rescue the ailing national carrier.

“It’s not for me to say (about MAS). Khazanah has a lot of smart people. They have a lot of experience. I’m sure that in due course they will announce a plan,” Fernandes told journalists after launching Premium Flex, a new service catering to business travellers.
