AirAsia India, which is in the midst of a court case about foreign control and investments, plans to restart expansion and fly internationally by next year after regulatory authorities gave it tacit approval last month.

According to the airline's Chief Executive Officer Amar Abrol, the company has constituted a special project team which has been mandated to get its operations ready for international flights either from summer 2018 or autumn next year.

AirAsia India is a joint venture between Tata Sons and AirAsia. The airline commenced operations on June 12, 2014, and currently flies to Bengaluru, Kochi, Goa, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Pune, New Delhi, Guwahati, Imphal, Vizag, Hyderabad, Srinagar and Bagdogra with a fleet of eight Airbus A320 aircraft.
