AirAsia aims to re-hire retrenched employees

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Group Bhd plans to re-hire the employees it had to retrench last year once the airline business starts to pick up.

Recognising that having to terminate the services of some 2,000 employees last year was a tragedy, group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has vowed to re-hire all of them and is confident that the low-cost carrier will be able to do that.
