MSN 10037 is owned by GECAS, so probably not one of those

Malindo/Batik Air Malaysia is in the process of transffering B738s to Batik Air Indonesia. 

Back in March 2020, their new CEO has mentioned they will return 15 B737, half of their B737 fleet, back to parent company as part of cost cutting measure due to COVID-19. https://www.flightglobal.com/fleets/malindo-air-transferring-15-boeing-737s-to-batik-air/137183.article

Thanks for the update, Julius. It looks like they are hanging on to all the B737-900 ERs.

Goodbye 9M-LCK!

This will remove the one and only Type D all Y configuration A333ceo AirAsia Group has. Previously the aircraft was heavily deployed on China and Taiwan route. Never got to see its interior, my rough guess it has all the previous generation black and red Y seats, not Mirius ironing board thin version.

AirAsia X served with RM95m breach of contract claim in UK

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/aax-served-rm95m-breach-contract-claim-uk

Four A330ceo are leased from BOC Aviation: 9M-XBA, 9M-XBB, 9M-XBC, 9M-XBE. Apparently XBE is also 367 all Y-class, contrary to what I mentioned earlier. Most probably next to be removed from service.
