Airbus says Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia X places $5 billion order
Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia X has ordered 42 Airbus aircraft worth a total catalogue price of five billion dollars, Airbus said Friday.
The Malaysian carrier has placed a firm order for 12 long-range A330neo planes and 30 medium-range A321XLR models, the European aircraft manufacturer said in a statement.
Major purchases are often finalised at a discount to the official catalogue price.
The deal takes to 78 the total number of A330neo ordered by AirAsia X, Airbus said.
