KUALA LUMPUR - Airbus has confirmed that AirAsia X's order for 15 Airbus A330-900 aircraft has been cancelled by mutual agreement between the two parties.

"Airbus can confirm that the order was cancelled by mutual agreement," an Airbus spokesperson told Bernama.

It was reported that the previously announced cancellation follows a shift across the AirAsia Group towards long-range narrowbodies.

However, AirAsia X declined to comment on the matter.

Initially, all the A330neo aircraft ordered by AirAsia X were the larger A330-900 model, offering the range to operate non-stop services to Europe, including between Kuala Lumpur and London. 

Earlier this year, the group placed an order for 50 Airbus A321XLR aircraft as part of its network expansion plans. - June 17, 2026
