Tan Sri Anthony Francis Fernandes was born on 30 April 1964.
Tony Fernandez is mixed Portuguese Malacca Goa, who was born in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Her parents are Dr. Stephen Edward Fernandes and his mother Ena
Dorothy Fernandes. His father died when he still young. At a young age, he was
always by his mother, a dealer, the diffuser assembly and convention
Tupperware.
He also known as Tony
Fernandes as entrepreneur and founder of Malaysia "Tune Air Sdn Bhd",
which introduces cheap flights to Malaysia's population with the slogan,
"Everyone Can Fly". Tony Fernandes achieved fame when he was
recovering from an airline AirAsia sick to an excellent public company. As
start, all peoples are assumes that he is crazy. It is because no one will open
a business that will not have profit. He want to open business aviation at low
cost. It is first time in Asia. Compared to Europe, they already have a low
cost flight that people can travel with low cost. But in Malaysia, it still not
suitable to start the business on that time because of the current Malaysia
economy that are not stable.
Launch of AirAsia
Through Datuk Pahamin A. Rajah, former Secretary General of
the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Fernandes got the
opportunity to meet with Dr. Mahathir in October 2001. During this time,
AirAsia is subsidiary established by DRB-Hicom, a Malaysian government
conglomerate. It has experienced difficulties due to the debt burden is too
high. The government had tried to sell it to investors without any success.
Therefore, Dr. Mahathir had advised Fernandes to buy existing aviation
companies, both from establishing itself. Next, Fernandes lease the entire
house and using his savings to buy the company at a price of penny. On that
time, AirAsia Company currently has two aircrafts Boeing-old, and a debt of
RM40 million.
Events purchase it at any time after the 11th of September,
2001, a time period is the worst in the history of commercial aviation
industry, causing the public opinion that Fernandes has become
"crazy" because no many people at the time who dare to fly. They also
predict that the company AirAsia will become insolvent. However, after a year,
AirAsia is able to settle the whole debt, and no longer suffer losses. AirAsia
organizational restructuring with new images and concepts that bring big
changes and gain in a short period of time. Its offer (IPO) in November 2004
received the request by 130 percent.
Fernandes felt that the time had chosen to buy the company
AirAsia is right. Since the 11 September 2001, lease planes have dropped 40
percent. Furthermore, many experienced workers available at the time, due to
layoffs in the aviation industry. Fernandes also believe that passengers will
welcome the low cost fares to reduce time and costs, especially in tight
economic conditions. Therefore, he imitated system Ryanair (Ryanair, which also
mimics the system of Southwest Airlines in the United States), an Irish airline
of the most successful in the world. Fernandes consider that 50 percent of
customer low cost airplane passenger airplane is the first time. Before
starting AirAsia low fares airline, Fernandes calculate that only 6 percent of
the population has ever mounted a plane.
