The Man Behind a $4 Billion Airline | Tony Fernandes, AirAsia

[@MaxChernov]

Tony is such an inspirational guy! If you agree, like this video!

[@idoit5005]

Inspirational and generous with giving good advice

[@Hashedbrown246]

​@@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.

[@owjianbang01]

Great job lad!

[@nikhilPUD01]

Getting most of his life as he can Best you can do for being alive. For yourself and others.

I can't believe you actually interviewed Tony, great guy!

[@goodputin4324]

Why not? Tony is not dead

[@RayMak]

I love airasia especially in the past when things were a lot cheaper. It allows us normal people to travel cheap.

[@Lostenso]

my goodness. the humility and how he value himself is extremely down to earth. fantastic human being

[@shaqisumari304]

This guy personally reach us while Firefly jet services were stopped abruptly to KK, kudos to his effort and love his attitude

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Wow. You got to interview Tony Fernandes. Thank you for this wonderful video. Air Asia makes travelling around Asia so affordable.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Creating huge profits from a risk, turning failure into a success, that is really something incredible that Tony manages for Air Asia.

[@heavymetalrox268]

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.

[@ravipararajasingam5715]

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

[@XkaliburJ]

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...

[@stargazeronesixseven]

🙏 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! 😊🙏🌷🌿🌎💜🕊🇲🇾

[@petrushka2]

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.

[@Captain_SQ]

He is very resilient. Overcame alot of obstacles and setbacks. Changed aviation landscape in SEA for the better.

[@KyleChenR]

Great interview Max! You've had a string of good ones, but didn't expect one with Tony - well done landing this interview.

[@syn9258]

"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!

[@senorbinario2855]

"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.

[@AlfrescoD5678]

WOW What an achievement to be interveiwing Tony!

It is a Malaysian Indian, not Indian Malaysian. Nationality comes before race. I am proudly Malaysian Chinese.

[@shivamsinghrawat9910]

[@khanht5]

Race should come first. E.g., african american. Nobody say the other way around

[@davidteh7909]

​@@khanht5@semsem4035 is right. Nation - race/community - family - individual. Westerners got it in the wrong order.

[@khanht5]

@@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

Tony, great leader, revolutionized the whole flying industry. Good job Max! Not easy to catch famous people of the world to accept interview.

Hi Max, such an impactful interview. I haven't seen any interview of Tony before. He is such a visionary and a true leader.

[@standardnnn6064]

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.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Malaysia should be proud of airasia and grab.

[@steammanx]

Grab kinda.... Because Grab was created in Malaysia but they decided to move to Singapore because of it friendlier business environment.

[@joejunior861]

​@@steammanxBrain drain..

[@TomCass-k6d]

But in a recent interview to CNBC, the Grab founder agreed that his roots were in Malaysia and the reason for starting Grab was also due to issues he faced with taxi's in Malaysia.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@@TomCass-k6d well Mr tan is no angel too. Recently he reduced the commission paid to drivers. Thus another e-hailing emerged called maxim. I heard it is better than grab which is getting expensive.

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

[@ngyonghuei6577]

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.

Fortunately you didn't interview him during his massage session..... :p

[@webabhi]

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.
