AirAsia X is thinking about A321LR! 100 A321Neo are fix ordered for the "normal" operations.

@flee it is not a nice way to delete my original post about the A330neo to TAX without any notice and then open a new thread by yourself ;-)! As i wrote several times, they will fly from DMK to Europe and maybe to Avalon-Melbourne. And thats not cause the new Group-CEO is from Thailand. The volume on Europe-Thailand is much much bigger than to Malaysia, thats a fact.

You really wanna burn Tonys money? ;-) If they wanna do KUL-LGW they will do that with an 330neo! As i said i expect that they use the 330neo first out of DMK to euorpe. For the 321LR, expect more routes like KUL-Cairns, KUL-Nagoya or KUL-Adelaide and KUL-Karachi maybe.

The quality of this article is not very good... 9M-XBD 9M-XBE

Thats both not possible. 1. They need to reach 20 jets to fly international ( now they have 19 ). 2. The indian rule says that at least 20 jets must stay in the domestic market...only number 21 22 and so on can be used for international services.

Vietjet is making a lot of money and starting to expanding in Thailand. So it is, from Tonys point of view, time to make some pressure in Vietjets homemarket .-P

9M-RAI Airbus A320-200 AirAsia Dec 2018 Y186 2x CFM56-5 750493 Ferried TSN-KUL 4- 5 Dec 2018 on delivery source: planespotters In the report about the Q3 AirAsia predicts 223 A320 at the end of the year. Planespotters have now 223 but including one old stored ZestAir A320. The only difference is a 20th A320 for India. So i think this one will come later this month from outside. Prediction year end: 94 Malaysia 62 Thailand 24 Indonesia 21 Philippines 20 India 2 Japan Plus 2 A320 leased to a third company ( PIA i think ).
