AirAsia receives US$1b takeover offer for leasing unit

Asia’s largest budget airline AirAsia Bhd has received a US$1 billion offer for its aircraft leasing unit, Bloomberg News quoted chief executive Tan Sri Tony Fernandes as saying.

AirAsia intends to divest the business, Asia Aviation Capital Ltd, at some point, Fernandes told Bloomberg on Monday but added that the offer needs to be discussed further with the board.

He was quoted as saying that the business was a “powerful cash generator”.

Reuters reported in October that AirAsia has been in talks with lessors, including cash-rich Chinese companies, to sell a stake in its leasing subsidiary.
