AirAsia reportedly in talks with the government on funding support
Reuters reported, citing sources, that AirAsia is in talks with the Malaysian government over potential funding support. The Straits Times and Bangkok Post carried the report. DailyDrop saw no confirmation from the airline or the government.
Public money for a private airline would be a major policy decision with a cost to taxpayers.
No change to bookings is reported.
Several outlets carry one Reuters exclusive, so this counts as one report, not independent confirmation.
