AirAsia, which has moved aggressively into new markets and placed huge jet orders to build a modern fleet,
said last month it wants to focus on its core Malaysian, Thai and Indonesia routes, then grow its Philippine

paving the way for the first foreign carrier to enter the Indian domestic aviation sector.
"This strategic partnership is all about growing the market," AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes told reporters.
