The Man Behind a $4 Billion Airline | Tony Fernandes, AirAsia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- This is Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia. Twenty-two years ago, he bought a stagnating airline with a $10 million debt for a symbolic 20 cents from the Malaysian government. Within a decade, Tony transformed the company into a multibillion-dollar business and one of the biggest airline brands in the world. As we chatted Tony shared with me how he managed to revolutionize air travel, how not to sink into depression after losing an aircraft in a horrific crash, and his biggest secret to success in life. Enjoy!

Tony is such an inspirational guy! If you agree, like this video!
Inspirational and generous with giving good advice
@@commentatorxyz5514 Nothing wrong with that.
@@commentatorxyz5514 Well honestly what do you expect him to say given the questions asked (e.g. I made it moment, best advice, features of a great CEO)? His responses to the questions are fine in my opinion. It sure sounds like you have something personal against him given that you have made the same comment twice. Maybe you are the one with a personality disorder.
Great job lad!
@@commentatorxyz5514 Tony can say anything he likes, be it humblebragging or not. The only person that can stop him is his interviewer.
It is a Malaysian Indian, not Indian Malaysian. Nationality comes before race. I am proudly Malaysian Chinese.
Auww ❤❤
Shit man
Race should come first. E.g., african american. Nobody say the other way around
@@khanht5@semsem4035 is right. Nation - race/community - family - individual. Westerners got it in the wrong order.
@@davidteh7909 i don't think so. What you most identified with will come last. So of you think first and foremost you are chinese, then that's how you call yourself (Malaysian Chinese)
If you identify first as Malaysian, then you will call the other way
I can't believe you actually interviewed Tony, great guy!
Why not? Tony is not dead
This guy is an absolute G. A true King that takes care of his people, doesn't give a f*** about other's validation. That's why he is super successful.
my goodness. the humility and how he value himself is extremely down to earth. fantastic human being
He is very resilient. Overcame alot of obstacles and setbacks. Changed aviation landscape in SEA for the better.
This guy personally reach us while Firefly jet services were stopped abruptly to KK, kudos to his effort and love his attitude
🙏 Love Tony Fernandez's approach to managing AirAsia Airlines by Practicing Humility , Respect , Understanding , Tolerance , Patience & Walk the Talk to deliver Good Value Services to AirAsia customers! Tony Fernandez are the few Malaysian entrepreneurs that made Malaysia proud! 😊🙏🌷🌿🌎💜🕊🇲🇾
I like AirAsia. Yes they are a little disorganized. Even their website is a little disorganized. But they are humanistic. They look after their passengers in a genuine way. The same can’t be said about Scoot. They are organized, but they are more interested in showing what they are good at but forget about taking care of their customers.
Wow. You got to interview Tony Fernandes. Thank you for this wonderful video. Air Asia makes travelling around Asia so affordable.
Creating huge profits from a risk, turning failure into a success, that is really something incredible that Tony manages for Air Asia.
I fly with AirAsia regularly, and until now I thought it was part of Malaysia Airlines. Now I know better 😊
"Make the most of your life" 👏👏. Absolutely. This is the first meaning of life that I agree with. Not "helping other people" and other collectivist views, but an individualist view that you own life and happiness is your highest moral duty.
Air Asia is great. Good airline. Saved me lot of money on my travels from oz to India. Service and planes are also good. Tony is also good role model for Indians in Asia 👍🙁
Man you are so cheap 😂
@@goodputin4324 and you are pimp
@@hesh2892 I am
I love airasia especially in the past when things were a lot cheaper. It allows us normal people to travel cheap.
This is Truly an inspirational Interview with Tan Sri Tony Fernandez... The ups and downs.. the horror he had to face losing his aircraft. Even when it's Not his fault. This video needs to go Viral! Thank you Tony for bringing affordable air travel to the masses. Keep it up! Dongibap...
Tony, great leader, revolutionized the whole flying industry.
Good job Max! Not easy to catch famous people of the world to accept interview.
I wish AirAsia won't delay or postpone their flights so often. Even Tony Fernandez takes SQ when he goes to Singapore for important meetings. That's how much he trust his own airlines.
keling style, that's how they are born and made
"What can they do? Say 'No' to you". That hits me hard and thank you very much for that Mr. Tony! Also, great effort and great interview Max, keep it up!
Wow… this is your best..
This really will motivate many people hearing from such successful people. Keep doing it..! ❤You got the most out of him🎉
Thank you 🙌
Lovely interview, Tony Fernandes has massively impacted on increasing the tourist economy of south east asia over the last 2 decades and subsequently improved the lives of many people......and the recent 'shirt off' post....that was genius! Any publicity is good publicity for a small trading nation.....well done Tony and to you
Tony is so full of life...a bubbly energetic person who has achieved so much in this very competitive market. That was one hell of an interview...good job!!
WOW What an achievement to be interveiwing Tony!
Great interview Max! You've had a string of good ones, but didn't expect one with Tony - well done landing this interview.
Wow, Max.... Congrats on landing this interview, and great job!
man if theres two things i love in life, its KL and Air Asia
Such an inspiring interview! Love it
Such a great interview. Your videos keep getting better :)
Wow 🤩 this guy is really so caring of his staff… a real example of true humanity and also humility 👍👍🌺🌹
Great interview Max… your interview strategy keeps improving…well done 🤩🌺👍😍
You’re good Max .. solid questions being answered by a solid interviewee & you looked really enjoying it ☺️
I was enjoying a lot, yes! Tony is great
Ya Former EMI Malaysia Director...
🙏👍
What a big jump Max! I have met Tony himself decade ago is some award events, take photos with him, yeah, just like said he is really easy to entertain people who wanna take pic with him.
Great episode with Tony!
So inspiring! My boss Tony Fernandes
A great interview no doubt and impressive how far you have come Max! I would have liked to know what his plans are for the future both personally and in terms of AirAsia
Tony, now you are one of the heroes of my life,.!❤
GG, great interview with an inspiring business man!
Hi Max, such an impactful interview. I haven't seen any interview of Tony before. He is such a visionary and a true leader.
Adding pictures in the middle of the situation will really help to stick in mind great job bro 🎉
Dear Max,
I have follow your videos for quite sometime. Every single videos of yours send out very good messages that open my eyes. Please keep it up. Society need content creators like you. Keep it up.
Regards,

Oh my god! This is so good and can be repetitive watching! It’s inspired and drives momentum! Thanks Max!
Malaysia should be proud of airasia and grab.
Grab kinda.... Because Grab was created in Malaysia but they decided to move to Singapore because of it friendlier business environment.
@@steammanxBrain drain..
This is too good❤❤❤
Disappointing that Air Asia is exiting one of the most exciting n challenging aviation market...did not expect that from a guy like Tony Fernandes.
My family, neighbours and my teachers loved Airasia went to travel ❤❤
I saw Mr Tony at KLIA 2. He was alone, carrying his bag. He is like I'm nobody.
So sad why I was not selfie with him?.😢
He is truly fantastic
Good to inspire us.
Superb video , exceptional insight from an extraordinary icon
Can collapsed very fast and always on your alert in this biz!
I can fly to Seoul to experience the snow with budget. Thanks Airasia
...this guy is a LEGEND ! 👍
Very nice interview.
Very humble man
Max thanks for talking to tony.
Powerful words from Tony!
Max, you rock and roll, congrats!
🤘
Very good video!
Interviewer was very good but the interviewee was really excellent.
Just very good?? 😳
Loved or heated he is one of the greatest CEO of all time in the world even though he is not perfect...
He is so cool. He is very passionate and feels good knowing his views.
Felt positive and motivated to do something than doing nothing. 👍
great lad all around. nice to hear tony
Top notch 👌
All Malaysians have a love hate relationship with AirAsia, let's be frank. But we all know deep down AA have done more good than harm for us all in terms of flying.
Title should read MALAYSIAN Indian.
this interview is epic.
I know ♥️
Mr Tony please include the luggage check-in in the air ticket fare. So that we don't need to separate buy the luggage check-in.
Salute this is one of Malaysian genius man
Das ist ja der absolute Wahnsinn sie haben diese große Person zu einem Interview bekommen nicht mal die großen Medien können das
the advice on language is very true, gain tremendous amount of information knowledge if you know a lot of mother tongue so that you do not have to go through the same learning curve others did
@Max Churnov you should switch the thumbnail to something that has Tony’s face in the video. The current one makes it seem that you are only talking about him, not TO him
The biggest fear _ failing your staff. Now that shows a genuine person. How many folks do you meet like this today. You need to take responsibility for those who depend on you. And no you Can't fall into depression. These few debates I see gives one hope. The best friends you need to hang on to are your school friends
Great content Max. By the way, would be more apt from the context of minimum paid up capital in Malaysia if you say "symbolic 1 Ringgit" at the intro. $0.20 doesn't sounds right even based on the exchange rate at that point of time.
I love the most when he did the grab during COVID, not sure it's real..check with him. LOL.
Had briefly worked for him some time back
You’re put on here to make a difference
TF is a revolutioner
I was checking the list of greatest low cost airlines in the world at number 1 was Air Asia, number 2 is Scoot from Singapore and number 3 is Indigo from India.
This Tony Fernandes is of Goan origin, I have created a Playlist of Goan music with 41 Goan songs.
Goans and East Timor people are the Latinos of Asia Pacific. There was a Goan film I saw called Nachom Ia Kumpasar, the music in that film is excellent. Black N White Band, Lorna and Remo Fernandes are great Goan Musicians.
Wish to meet him and discuss the refund of cancelled flights which the customer service never got back to me...
Like a boss
Is it true if you buy airtickets thro laptop you do not have mileage correct??? Please advise in general i am stupid!!!!
Tony is dressed up..wow!!
You should add Indian origin for letting more people to get intrested in this video.
It’s a good idea, thanks, just changed the title
Is there really a need to specify his ethnicity? Malaysian is Malaysian.
Fortunately you didn't interview him during his massage session..... :p
Lol😂
Then it has to be pixelated already. Few seconds is ok but 15 minutes shirtless Tony would be too much lol😂
He has Goan origins. Hope CapitalA gets out of PN17 in 2024. The stock price will soar.
"never feel sorry for yourself"
How did you manage to get him for an interview?😅
he is great.. but IMHO now AirAsia can't be considered LCC anymore lol.. it's price is almost the same with full service airlines
And in the process lining up his pocket. Great guy he is. Smart and intelligent. Now can sit back and talk nonsense.
In USA we got Tony Stark and in Malaysia we got Tony Fernandes and in Thailand we got Tony Jaa...
Tony stark and Tony Jaa is not real person...
@@ReefearEapear Tony Jaa is watching.
Tony, i love u
Which version ? The one without shirt ?
I think people outside of malaysia didn't know what the previous malay government did to him, but and how he fought and overcome.
He's just a front man. Someone else is behind him orchestrating all these.
Interesting theory and often said about many big businesses. He did have an influential person as the chairwoman in the past. Well it’s a public listed company, so a bulk of the backers are public investors who bought the shares too
@@idoit5005 If it's known in the public space, that person or persons ain't the hand behind.
Shadow government? 😁
@@proxxymax6814 ahh you mean Tony is only a proxy for those secret rich and powerful people, I saw the hint in your username lol
If there is some one from the govt or GLC behind him the airline banckrupted long time ago.
It’s a good video with great content but the constant cutting of camera angles made it really difficult to watch. They cut every 3 seconds.
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎!!! Keep up the great works 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!! Really worth my time ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 !!!
Very very very very very gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘!!! You are the most gorgeous soul ❤💛💚💜💖💓 in the whole universe ❤💛💚💜💖💓!!!
Love you very very very very very much ❤💛💚💜💖💓 always ❤💛💚💜💖💓 and forever ❤💛💚💜💖💓 !!!
I hope that you will have a wonderful life forever and ever ❤💛💚💜❤🔥💕!!!!!!
Your #1 Fan forever and ever & love always,
ZL ❤💛💚💜💖💓
Budget airline was a new biznes model in the early 2000s. It’s not a revolutionary idea by Tony. But how he cheated customers refunds says something else
Perfect example of how a single man can mean life and death of a company. How a CEO truly deserves CEO pay. This is to those naysayers who thinks the pay gap between highest and lowest is unjustifiable and ridiculous.
Thank god he kept his shirt on!!!!!!! He's a bit too Richard Brason when he should be more Michael O'Leary ... the best thing about me is my humility haha blah blah blah
It’s a chance to have a laugh, it’s entertaining and educational. I don’t want to watch paint dry or boring people
loser
@@idoit5005 I seen your comments on this video and i feel like you defending criticism of this dude because he's Malaysian (even though in an interview he stated that he cant even speak Malay) and nothing else. Just pure idiotic nationalism, no wonder Malaysia isn't moving forward like the rest...
@@steammanx you are entitled to your opinion, and i agree very much that malaysia isn't moving forward, and it is for quite a number of reasons like serious problem with politics, poor work ethics and culture of corruption too. but to me not being able to speak the native language isn't a problem at all. a country is truly great when anyone bearing its passport is taken care of like treasure, and just like any other citizen
One Air Asia business was sold India tata group . This is the face of air Asia exiting India. They don't care customer safety. pressure the employee
I suppose this what in journalism they call a scoop?
Max why were grilling him so much of money in the beginning?
He clearly didn't want to talk about it.
Same with Jim Rogers but everyone reacts differently to such questions and we got to learn how these individuals dealt with it. I’d say Max did the hard thing and we benefited
you should have asked him why he half naked in a mgt meeting 😂😂
Air Asia is not the largest LCC in Asia . The largest LCC in Asia is INDIGO
Less go Malaysians!
Tony, like many non malays businesses has no choice but to work hard to survive as we do not receive special privilege like natives. Those special privilege works two ways. It makes some native dependent on gov based on race. While some were successful enough.
The irony is many natives are not actually natives in the ordinary sense of the word, but recent migrants or children of recent migrants from Indonesia.
You always have a choice.
