KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia had settled over 90 per cent of passenger refunds thus far, despite financial difficulty faced by the airline industry which was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and is not expected to face a big hurdle to settle more in a few months time, Capital A Bhd
(formerly known as AirAsia Group Bhd) chief executive officer (CEO) Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said.
He said this is considered a remarkable achievement because it is achieved without any financial support from the government and the huge amount involved compared to other airlines as AirAsia was flying about 90 million people pre-COVID-19 period.
