Malaysia Airlines orders 20 more A330neo jets

Malaysia Airlines is on track to become one of the biggest A330neo operators in Asia-Pacific, with a total of 40 aircraft now on order. PETALING JAYA : Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) has ordered 20 more Airbus A330neo aircraft, doubling its commitment as part of a long-term plan to modernise its fleet and expand its network across key Asia-Pacific markets. The deal, announced by the parent company of national carrier Malaysia Airlines Bhd, builds on its earlier commitment in 2022 for 20 A330neos – 10 purchased from Airbus and 10 leased from Avolon. This brings the airline's total order to 40 aircraft, making it one of the largest A330neo operators in the region. Deliveries for the latest batch are scheduled to take place between 2029 and 2031. MAG group managing director Izham Ismail said the A330neo remains a key part of the airline's fleet and network strategy. 'With its enhanced fuel efficiency and flexibility across both regional and long-haul routes, the aircraft is a strong fit for our evolving market needs,' he said in a statement today. 'This additional order reinforces our long-term vision of building a future-ready fleet that supports sustainable growth, delivers consistent value to our passengers, and strengthens our competitiveness in key markets.' Malaysia Airlines has so far received four A330neo jets, which are currently flying to destinations like Auckland, Melbourne and Bali. Six more are expected by the end of this year, with the remaining aircraft from the original order set to arrive in stages through 2028. Airbus executive vice-president of sales Benoit de Saint-Exupery said MAG's repeat order was a 'strong vote of confidence'. 'We are proud to further strengthen our relationship with Malaysia Aviation Group as it expands its A330neo fleet,' he said.

The A330neo features the award-winning Airspace cabin, which offers passengers a unique experience, high level of comfort, ambience and design.
