KUALA LUMPUR- Malaysian low cost carrier AirAsia (AIRA.KL) plans to list on the Thai stock exchange and later on in Indonesia, its chief executive Tony Fernandes told the Business Times newspaper.
"The plan is to list AirAsia group in Thailand and later in Indonesia," Fernandes told the paper in an interview published on Friday ahead of the company's third-quarter earnings.
Fernandes said the move would enable AirAsia to tap into other liquid Asian stock markets and said the airline was "looking at issuing new shares".
Malaysian bank CIMB (CIMB.KL) recently listed in Thailand.
AirAsia's share price has gained 52 percent since the start of the year, outperforming the 45.4 percent rise in the broader market index .KLSE.
