    AIRASIA X announced in a bourse filing on Friday (Jul 8) that it has reappointed Anthony Francis Fernandes, also known as Tony Fernandes, as acting group chief executive officer (CEO).

    He will also continue to serve as a non-independent, non-executive director of the long-haul budget airline.

    Fernandes was formerly the group’s CEO until he stepped aside with then-chairman Kamarudin Meranun in February 2020, as the authorities investigated allegations that Airbus had paid AirAsia a bribe of US$50 million to win plane orders.

    AirAsia X’s shares closed flat at RM0.505 on Friday.
