A 330 with 240 mins ETOPS !!!

Here´s the official press release:

I wonder if this may have any impact on Air Asia X´s route planning since ETOPS 240 significantly increases the operating economy as well as they might be able to reach further destinations now (due to be able to fly more straight routes)

 

Any ideas/guess if they take advantage of this ?
