Recently, Capital A Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said that almost all who were affected by the flight disruption during the pandemic were refunded

According to New Straits Times, AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd (AAAGL), the aviation arm of Capital A Group, has finalised over 99% of customers' inquiries and will work towards settling the final 0.8% in the coming months.

Due to the reopening of the borders, Tony said many customers have utilised their credits and have started to travel once again.
