AirAsia Group took delivery of 22 aircraft in 2017
AirAsia achieved its goal of adding 22 more aircraft to its fleet by Dec 31, 2017 as the group ramps up its growth. Group CE Tony Fernandes outlined the fleet expansion targets in August and November. An AirAsia spokeswoman said the goal of a year-on-year net increase of 22 aircraft for 2017 was met, boosting the group’s fleet of Airbus narrowbodies to 196.
