AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) is back on track for growth, despite cost and macroeconomic headwinds as well as travel restrictions in key markets such as China, Japan and Taiwan, says acting group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

“I would say by first quarter of 2023, the world (most international borders) will be open. For two years, I couldn’t say that. I was guessing. Now, I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel,” says Fernandes.
