Business Roundup

Malaysia's AirAsia swung to a profit in the third quarter on higher passenger numbers and cost-cutting measures. South-east Asia's largest budget airline by fleet size reported on Friday a net profit of RM130.1 million ($53.4 million) for the three months ended Sept 30, compared with a loss of RM465.5 million in the corresponding period a year earlier. Revenue rose 4.5 per cent to RM739.7 million.

Bursa-listed AirAsia plans to seek a listing in Thailand, after the Thai bourse earlier this month agreed to allow foreign companies to list from Dec 1, chief executive Tony Fernandes said on Friday.

The carrier also plans to have its shares traded in Indonesia, he added. Mr Fernandes declined to say how much the carrier sought to raise in the multiple listings. AGENCIES
