AirAsia heaps pressure on Airbus over A330neo order
AirAsia X needs to ensure the price, performance, engines and payment terms for the Airbus A330neo are right before it will "finally confirm" its order for 66 of the jets, its co-group CE said Tuesday. AirAsia X, the long-haul arm of AirAsia Group, is the largest customer for the A330neo, which is struggling for sales relative to the rival Boeing 787. AirAsia X has a firm order for the fuel-efficient A330neo widebody jets to replace its older first-generation A330s but it has been pushing back the delivery dates. It has been talking to Boeing about buying the 787-10 jet as an alternative and is likely to make a decision later this year. The airline's co-group CE, Tony Fernandes, said Tuesday that he was visiting Airbus at its Toulouse headquarters to discuss the A330neo and the smaller A321neo. <br/>
