flee 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Wonder why -XXP was selected and not the albino -XXA?? I would imagine that it was chosen because it does not need to go in for maintenance during the lease period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 AirAsia X may reshuffle two of its Indonesia AirAsia Extra A333 back to main fleet or to Thai Air Asia X. Having said that, during the recent meeting, TF mentioned AirAsia X current fleet stands at 31. I only managed to find 29 A333CEO, including those six that went to Thai and Indonesia subsidiaries. Where is the extra two?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Airasia X has 23, Thai Airasia X has 6, Indonesia Airasia X has 2. Thai Airasia X took up two n.t.u.'s from Airasia X and registered them as HS-XTE (MSN 1619) and HS-XTF (MSN 1646). Although withdrawn from service, 9M-XAA seems to be still in the Airasia X fleet - apparently, it was reported that this aircraft will only be returned in 2Q 2016.

Oh yes, MSN 1619 and MSN 1646 were delivered directly to XJ directly. That tallies the number. Thank you for the clarification, flee. 9M-XAA is all wrapped up like a Christmas present currently, parked at klia2 between Gates P and Q. They could have utilise her fully before sending her to scrapyard. Hopefully 'cityline livery' get transferred to 9M-XXA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted July 5, 2016 I would say good riddance Philippines AirAsia is getting rid those IAE powered A320, they are in shambles. This one is not that old - 12+ years old. They have older ones that they are also trying to get rid of ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2016 This one is not that old - 12+ years old. They have older ones that they are also trying to get rid of ASAP. Yes, those older ones are really in a shamble. I like to trace old aircraft history. I flew with PH AirAsia recently. RP-C8993 (MSN 667: ex Aero Lloyd, Niki and Air Slovakia) and RP-C8987 (MSN 1286: ex US Airways and Spring Airlines). RP-C8993 being oldest A320 in AirAsia Group, its interior is yesteryear: big cushion leather seat which restrict leg room when the person in front reclines, yellowing panel, reading light mostly not working, all but six fasten seats belt sign were not working, broken seat and lavatories door that could not be locked. It has storage container from Ansett Australia, Alitalia and Zest Air, big oven front and back and coffee machines. RP-C8987 is slightly better. Big huge, rock hard leather seats (American is bigger built than Asians), inoperable panel, yellowing panel, two big ovens at the back galley. grey interior, two huge a** oven front and back and coffee machines. I lost all pictures when my phone was pickpocketed in Manila. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom/PER 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2016 Looked to be some activity around -XAA this morning parked opposite the P gates. I recall reading on here that it was covered up but it looked airworthy and clean from what I saw this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted July 7, 2016 Its departure from the D7 fleet has been delayed a few times. It was recently mentioned that it will leave the fleet in the Q2-Q3 timeframe. Maybe the owners prefer to keep it here due to lower storage charges. Perhaps, they are finally ready to receive the aircraft.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't find the link anymore...9M-XAA operation was restricted to North Asia route and occasionally Perth during her service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
