AirAsia eyeing HK listing as it expands in North Asia

Farnborough, England

AIRASIA is studying a dual listing in Hong Kong, part of a plan to become a pan-Asian low-cost airline player as it also moves towards setting up a joint venture in China, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday.

The Malaysia-based group is simultaneously looking for more aircraft to meet strong demand in North Asia and elsewhere, the people said on the eve of Britain's Farnborough Airshow.
