AirAsia flies into Thailand’s 3G whirlwind
Fernandes promises region-wide service
AirAsia is jumping into the telecom business in Thailand with the aim of revolutionising the industry under the tagline “Now Everyone Can Talk”.
Asia’s largest low-cost airline signed a 49:51 joint-venture deal last week with a group of Thai investors to establish Tune Talk Thailand Co.
The company, with 100 million baht in registered capital, will provide 3G wireless broadband services on behalf of TOT Plc, with the planned debut of its Tune brand on Jan 13.
