Capital A moving from PN17 to the runway

Fernandes: Our aviation business is now on the cusp of creating one of the greatest airline groups in the history of aviation.

TAN Sri Tony Fernandes, the chief executive officer of Capital A Bhd, uses an aviation metaphor to describe the company’s journey: “We’re off the aerobridge and taxiing towards the runway.”

The company has endured five years of pandemic-induced hardship, including stringent lockdowns, a lack of government support and no bank financing – facing more obstacles than most other airlines globally.
