Software Engineer Intern - IKHLAS null

About AirAsia

AirAsia was established by a government-owned automotive corporation, DRB-HICOM in 1993. In 2001, after garnering USD 11 million in debt, Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun's Tune Air Sdn Bhn bought AirAsia and turned it into one of the fastest-growing airlines in Asia. The company launched routes in its hub in Kuala Lumpur in 2002, and opened a second hub in Senai International Airport in 2003, going after the former monopoly of Malaysia Airlines. 

In the following year, the company opened its affiliate office in Thailand and began flying to Singapore and Indonesia. 20 years ago, a dream took flight - shaping and forever changing the travel industry in Asia. The idea was simple - make flying affordable for everyone.
