AirAsia X wants wordsmiths from every corner of the globe to help them name their planes. The airline currently operates three aircraft and has a further 23 A330s and one A340s on order. It is calling on the global community to come up with some 'X-treme' names as part of a naming competition for the new aircraft.
Candidates who submit names chosen by AirAsia X receive free return airfares to anywhere on the AirAsia X network, which now includes Stansted London as well as Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne and Hangzhou routes.
Winning wordsmiths will have their personal names immortalised on the aircraft - inside the body and outside the cabin.
AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman-Rani wants AirAsia X aircraft names to reflect the airline’s ‘X’ factor.
AirAsia X this year expects to take delivery of three new A330s and staff have put forward Xploration, Xpedition and Xcursion as possible names for the aircraft.
The airline’s first two A330’s were called Xuberance and Xhileration, while the plane that services the Kuala Lumpur to London route is called Xcalibur.
Many aircraft spotters and enthusiasts will already know the airline’s official call-sign is Xanadu.
