"It is no secret I have wanted to operate in Vietnam for a long time. Read More » As an ASEAN airline, it is only logical for us to be in one of the most promising countries in the region. I can confirm we are in discussions with a Vietnamese group, but nothing has been finalized," Capital A CEO, Tony Fernandes, said. Capital A is AirAsia’s parent company. Fernandes told Malaysian National News Agency BERNAMA on the sidelines of the ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting 2025 that the results are not confirmed, but "still, I am more optimistic than I have ever been about AirAsia entering Vietnam". The LCC also is holding preliminary discussions in Laos and Brunei, he added. Fernandes admitted there was no progress in entering the Singapore market. "I have always fought for operations in Singapore. However, I think we have given up on the plan," he said. "My dream before I leave this job is to be in as many ASEAN countries as possible. I am very keen on Vietnam."
