Tony Fernandes

I came from the music business, which reputedly has the biggest egos, but I really think the airline world caps it.

Tony Fernandes

Tony Fernandes

The music and airlines businesses are tough, but I've been successful in them.

Aleister Crowley

The Inmost is one with the Inmost; yet the form of the One is not the form of the other; intimacy exacts fitness. He therefore who liveth by air, let him not be bold to breathe water. But mastery cometh by measure: to him who with labour, courage, and caution giveth his life to understand all that doth encompass him, and to prevail against it, shall be increase.

Adolf Galland

The first rule of all air combat is to see the opponent first.
