Newly-formed AirAsia India, the Indian arm of Malaysia's low-cost carrier AirAsia, has filed an application with the civil aviation ministry for permission to launch its operations, official sources said in New Delhi on Thursday.

The airline had filed its application with the ministry on Tuesday.

The joint venture company is likely to have at least six members on its board, comprising two nominees each from AirAsia and Tata Sons and one representative from Telestra Tradeplace.

There would be an independent director on the board, who would also be the non-executive chairman.
