History Established in Malaysia as a national airline to provide a complementary regional airline service alongside other carriers. During 1998, Air Asia intended to expand its fleet and services to the Middle East and Europe, but due to the regional economic downturn and new currency laws the plans were postponed. International services to Jakarta, Kaohsiung and Taipei were also suspended, so Air Asia now concentrates on domestic ser vices. It was acquired by a local music personality and was to be renamed Tune during September 2001, but it retained the Air Asia name, and was transformed into a low-cost carrier.
