Malaysia Airlines nears A330Neo deal although price is a sticking point


LONDON: Malaysia Airlines Bhd has held discussions with Airbus SE about the purchase of A330neo wide-body jets but has so far been unable to agree a price for the planes.

The carrier is also seeking clarity regarding other aspects of the transaction, including delivery schedules, chief executive Officer Peter Bellew said in an interview on Saturday. There’s no likelihood of an order being placed at this week’s Paris Air Show, and one could take until September at least, he said.
