KUALA LUMPUR: Macau and Shenzhen are feeling the impact of protests in Hong Kong as demand for flights to both places is falling, according to Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, the founder of low-cost carrier AirAsia Group Bhd.

“It is bad, ” Fernandes said in a Friday interview at AirAsia’s headquarters near Kuala Lumpur. He said many travellers look to visit the three places in one trip.
