Airlines are one of the last things to be liberalized.
From Tony Fernandes
In Europe, they travel a lot lighter. I always joke that my Indonesian passengers bring their house and their neighbor's house.
I came from the music business, which reputedly has the biggest egos, but I really think the airline world caps it.
When the music business failed to embrace the Internet, I thought it was game, set and match for the industry, and I quit.
I look for people who have drive, who have ambition, who are humble. I've hired many people at very strange places.
If you have a great product but no one knows about it, it's history.
In AirAsia, we consider ourselves basically a dream factory. We deliberately decided that we wanted a company where people can pursue their passion, and we wanted to make use of all the talent that we have in-house.
Passion is just something that comes naturally to me.
I don't know if every player in the Premier League feels hurt when they lose a game. The right sort is very important. I was naive in thinking that everyone was like me.
The music and airlines businesses are tough, but I've been successful in them.
