AirAsia Group's founder Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said his top priority for next year is to rehire all former AirAsia staff who were let go during the Movement Control Order (MCO)
The low-cost airline company retrenched 2,400 employees from its 24,000-strong workforce since Malaysia's international borders closed in March 2020.
Speaking to New Straits Times, he said his goal as the world enters 2021 and the post-pandemic recovery period is to stop retrenching his employees and rehire those who were let go during MCO.
