AirAsia X could swap A330Neo order to A350s
AirAsia X is looking at swapping an order for 66 Airbus SE A330neo wide-body jets to larger A350s in a bid to boost capacity on its busiest routes. A review of the Kuala Lumpur-based discounter’s fleet requirements is underway and could result in a plan to trade up to the bigger wide-body, CE Tony Fernandes said. He said the Boeing 787 will also be considered. AirAsia X will remain focused on routes within four to eight hours’ flying time and would deploy the A350s on those services just as it had aimed to do with the A330s. “Over the last 10 years we’ve been tweaking the model,” the CEO said. “Now that we kind of know what we want to do, we’re looking at the fleet.” <br/>
