AirAsia India CEO Mittu Chandilya is not quitting the airline, AirAsia Group chief Tony Fernandes said on Sunday as he announced that the two-year-old Indian carrier would "shortly" add two aircraft as part of its fleet expansion plans.

AirAsia's Group CEO Tony Fernandes said that Chandilya has done an exemplary job leading AirAsia India in a market where it has been challenged with headwinds at every turn.

AirAsia India has halted its expansion plans after just a year in business as it waits for a government decision on whether to change a measure regulating overseas flights, the budget carrier's chief executive said.

AirAsia has exported its low-cost model to India, hoping to catch its hundreds of millions in first-time fliers. It has proven harder than expected.

This however is not the first time such bonhomie has been seen among domestic airlines chiefs.

Budget carrier AirAsia India will spread its wings to the national capital with the launch of its services from the national capital tomorrow, nearly a year after it commenced operations in the country.

AirAsia India, the domestic arm of Malaysian airline AirAsia, on Sunday added Kochi to its network with the launch of a daily flight service from Bangalore.
