A contract between Malaysia Airlines and Airbus to replace its current fleet of 21 A330 aircraft with the more modern A330neo aircraft is almost complete.
The airline now operates A330s and A350s, and in 2017 it had a provisional order in place for Boeing 787 Dreamliners, but it allowed the agreement to lapse.
It was informed by sources that the A330neo had been chosen as the top contender.
A representative for Malaysia Airlines told that the company is still “going through the process” and has not yet decided whether to replace the A330.
that the company aimed to decide on a one-for-one replacement of its A330 fleet by mid- to late-July 2022.
Izham Ismail, the chief executive officer of Malaysia Airlines, stated
Compared to the prior generation, the A330neo uses less fuel and emits less CO2 while flying farther. One way that airlines are attempting to meet the net-zero by 2050 goal established by IATA member airlines is through the use of newer, more efficient planes.
