"I am touched by the massive show of support especially from my fellow airlines. This is my worse (sic) nightmare. But there is no stopping," he said on tweeter @tonyfernandes.

"Our priority is looking after all the next of kin for my staff and passengers. We will do whatever we can," he added.

The Indonesia AirAsia flight with 162 people on board remains missing after losing contact with ground control early on Sunday morning after takeoff from Surabaya on the way to Singapore.
