AirAsia may order 150 A320neo planes
Malaysia-based low-cost airline AirAsia is negotiating an order of between 150 and 175 A320neo planes from Airbus, French newspaper Les Echos reported, citing unidentified sources.
The total amount of the order would be between US$13.6 billion and $15.9 billion, according to official prices. If both parties reach an agreement, the order might be announced in the Bourget aviation fair due to start June 20, the newspaper said.
AirAsia already operates about 100 Airbus jets, of which 90 are the A320, the newspaper said.
The A320neo is a planned fuel-efficient upgrade of Airbus's A320 medium hauler.
"AirAsia had made public its interest in the A320neo though, as a rule, Airbus doesn't comment on any negotiations that may be going on," Airbus spokesman Justin Dubon said
