Tier-II cities to be linked to Asia

Chennai: "We will offer discretionary pricing for every extra bag one carries, seat he chooses or food he wants and that will take care of the cheap pricing of the ticket," Tony Fernandes, CEO of Air Asia claims.
The man with over 9,000 employees claims to have managed his people without any union by keeping it open. "We saw closed cabins brewing groups between pilots, engineers, cabin crews etc. So we broke them down to have an single open office with the liberty to walk into my cabin at their will," he says.
 The man, who switched career from music record sales to aviation, believes in doing things differently - be it choosing an Indian CEO from a non-aviation background or from desisting to fly to top traffic destinations in India such as Mumbai or Delhi.
 Air Asia's Indian venture, set to go live from Chennai by the end of this year, plans to fly short-haul flights to all tier-II cities across Tamil Nadu and others, initially starting with three flights from Chennai.
