Malaysia Air may announce aircraft order this week - report
Malaysia Airlines may announce an order of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft as early as Wednesday, as the airline eyes a fleet expansion, according to a media report. Business Times reported that the carrier may place an order that could be up to half the size of a similar deal by Vietjet Air, which purchased 100 Boeing 737 MAX 200s worth US$11.3b at list price in May. Malaysia Airlines declined to comment on the report but the airline's CE, Peter Bellew, told the paper that the airline was talking to Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier. "News should be confirmed next week. (We are) looking at new and second-hand lease or buying the aircraft," he was quoted by the paper. The airline has called a press conference Wednesday. Malaysia Airlines has 56 Boeing 737s which have an average age of 4.1 years. <br/>
