Tony mengatakan, pihaknya telah membuka kantor regional di Jakarta yang diberi nama AirAsia Asean. Namun, hal itu bukan berarti memindahkan kantor pusat AirAsia dari Malaysia. "Untuk menghindari kesalahan dalam menafsirkan, saya akan memperjelas bahwa kantor pusat AirAsia Malaysia tidak pindah ke Jakarta. AirAsia adalah maskapai penerbangan yang terdaftar di Malaysia," katanya.
Tony said it has opened a regional office in Jakarta, named AirAsia Asean. However, it does not mean moving the headquarters from Malaysia AirAsia. "To avoid errors in interpretation, I will clarify that Malaysia's AirAsia headquarters is moved to Jakarta. Airline AirAsia is registered in Malaysia," he said.
Keberadaan kantor AirAsia Asean di Jakarta lebih karena sekretariat ASEAN juga di kota yang sama. Nanti tim AirAsia regional akan membuat strategi perusahaan dari Jakarta. Tony optimistis, dengan mengubah fokus AirAsia menjadi strategi regional, hal itu membuat mereka unggul dibanding maskapai lain yang fokus di domestik. "Saya sudah seminggu disini. Indonesia rumah baruku," candanya.
The presence of AirAsia's office in Jakarta ASEAN Secretariat ASEAN more as well as in the same city. Later AirAsia regional teams will make the company's strategy of Jakarta. Tony
is optimistic that, by changing the focus of AirAsia into a regional
strategy, it makes them superior to other airlines in the domestic
focus. "I've been here a week. Indonesia my new house," he joked.
