Now you can experience what it's like to fly high in the sky interacting with me as your air traffic control," Tony said, adding that like the real ATC, he can't make any promises about the congestion, but he can promise to get us there the "quickest and least boring way possible."
So while his airline moves millions of people around the region and beyond every day, now you can drive around, guided by his voice:

"We're thrilled to bring Tony Fernandes's voice to Waze, guiding Wazers along a route from tower control. Voice prompts are one of our most popular features and a great way to bring a brand to life within the context of a drive. Tony's voice navigations will make him your co-pilot on any route, making you feel like you're flying while you are driving."
