Air Asia X to get new Airbus


Air Asia X is the long haul arm of the very successful budget airline Air Asia! At the end of October the handing over ceremony is due take place in Toulouse, France-the HQ of Airbus Industrie. The delivery of the A330 marks the first aircraft to be handed over from 25 aircraft Air Asia has on order with the Airbus company.

The A330 will feature on route of between 4 and 8 hours and has leather seats with the option of " XL"seating (at extra cost) offering extra luxury and comfort, set meals, comfort kits and an all-new in flight entertainment system.

Being a very fuel efficient aircraft the A330 is expected to reduce Air Asia’s fuel outlay by as much as 30% and, hopefully, allow Air Asia to stay at the forefront of the increasingly competitive South East Asian low cost air travel market.
