AirAsia has agreed to buy 175 new A320 Airbus aircraft for at least US$10.5 billion.
“We have placed a new order of 25 A320s with Airbus,” Tony Fernandes
its group chief executive told AFP.
AirAsia had previously ordered 150 aircraft. Each A320 aircraft carries a catalogue price of US$60 million.
The announcement came after the low-cost carriers were allowed to fly the
lucrative Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route. AirAsia on Friday said its fiscal
first quarter net profit had risen by more than 150 percent on higher
passenger volume.
