AirAsia X Bhd., the long-haul arm of Asia’s largest low-fare carrier, said it will sign a “major” Airbus SAS plane order in Paris this week to expand its fleet amid rising travel demand.
An announcement is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 18, the Kuala Lumpur-based carrier said in an e-mailed invitation. AirAsia X Chief Financial Officer Yvonne Abdullah said last month that it may order more Airbus A330s as its current order of 25 of these planes isn’t enough.
