Malaysia Airlines will double its A330neo fleet with major Airbus order

Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of national carrier Malaysia Airlines, has placed a firm order with Airbus for 20 additional A330-900 aircraft. This new commitment will double the airline's future A330neo fleet to 40 aircraft.

The announcement was made during the official visit to France by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, H.E. Anwar Ibrahim.

MAG first selected the A330neo in 2022 as part of its wide-body fleet renewal programme, with an initial commitment for 20 aircraft, four of which have already been delivered. Featuring an all-new premium cabin layout, the aircraft are currently serving routes from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne, Auckland and Bali.
