AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes let loose on his frustrating battles between his budget airline and government-linked agencies in this second of a two-part interview.

Malaysiakini: With the new KLIA East @ Labu you are racing against time. Though the cabinet has given the green light, it's not yet a done deal. Are you worried?

Tony Fernandes: Yes, I am worried about it. This whole thing has been done with a lot of time pressure. In 2010, we forecast we'll be four million passengers short in terms of terminal capacity and about 17 planes short of parking. Right now, we're a million passengers short in this terminal, and it's a nightmare. And four million is not even worth thinking about. I think it will come to a head, one way or another.

We're a point-to-point airline. We don't have night stops. All our Airbus A320 aircraft come back at night. The only planes that are flying around are the long-haul ones, the 25 Airbus A330s. They won't be there all at the same time. But the A320s will come back every night and need to be parked. We'll have some planes in Johor Bahru and we'll have some planes in Kota Kinabalu overnight. And hopefully we'll have a hub in Penang.

And the second part is charges. I need low charges to stimulate someone from China who never thought of going to Penang. Why have we developed Manado (North Sulawesi in Indonesia) and all these other weird and wonderful destinations? Because there's low fares. So people say 'come on let's try, I never tried Manado, let's go - RM50'.
