AAX streamlines fleet

Capital A said the move will pave the way for seamless transition of its fleet.

PETALING JAYA: AirAsia X Bhd (AAX), the long-haul airline of Capital A Bhd, has entered into a one-year lease agreement of an A330-300 aircraft with sister company Asia Aviation Capital Ltd (AACL), in a contract valued at RM30.5mil.

Capital A revealed the rationale behind the deal is to streamline the fleet of planes for Malaysia AirAsia to narrow-body aircraft only, as the additional aircraft is of the same cabin configuration as AAX’s existing fleet, allowing a seamless transition into the fleet.
