PUTRAJAYA, Oct 12 — The Transport Ministry has not concluded any agreement with AirAsia nor engaged in discussions with the budget carrier over the past few weeks, Transport Minister Anthony Loke clarified today.
Speaking at a press conference at the ministry headquarters here, Loke moved to dismiss speculation surrounding his ministry’s involvement in any ongoing funding arrangements.
“There have been no meetings with AirAsia over the past two to three weeks, and no agreement has been reached,” he told reporters.
Loke was responding to an earlier report by Reuters that claimed that AirAsia had held discussions with the Malaysian government regarding potential funding support, citing sources familiar with the matter.
