Amazing AirAsia's photostream

When Tony Fernandes & his partners bought an ailing two plane airline in 2001, it was post September 11 and the aviation industry was going through one of its darkest periods.

Assuming the airline's $10 million debt, they orchestrated a remarkable turnaround for the airline, turning it profitable in under a year.

With the tagline 'Now Everyone Can Fly', AirAsia is now one of the largest low cost carriers in Asia and it's philosophy of low fares is aimed at making flying affordable for everyone.
