AirAsia Tickets from 10 Cents!

May 23, 2011 at 6:00 pm

AirAsia is back with another mindblowing promotion, airplane tickets from as low as 10 cents. It seems that the latest promotion is in conjunction with AirAsia’s 10th anniversary. Beginning today at noon, the public can purchase these tickets on the airline’s website. Travel period is between February 6 to June 20 next year. So if you want to buy, you better plan ahead!

AirAsia is undoubtedly the biggest growing budget airlines in Malaysia, and has thus far been very savvy in its marketting. This is not surprising as the airline’s boss, Tony Fernandes has a keen sense for marketting, and is fast becoming South East Asia’s very own Richard Branson. Coincidence? Highly unlikely seeing as how Tony is mirroring Branson’s businesses. There is AirAsia, as fast growing as Branson’s own Virgin Airlines, and then there’s the F1 teams that each of these men own. In fact, they had a very highly publicised bet last year in which the loser would serve as a stewardess in the winner’s airline. For those who do not know, Branson lost the bet when Tony’s F1 team performed better than his. You can read more about it in this blog post.

Tony Fernandes is quite a success, but what do you think his secret is? Is he just a good mimic of Richard Branson? Or does he have his own secret formula for success?

Tell us what YOU think.
