Airbus is close to selling about 100 A220 aircraft to AirAsia, industry sources say, a deal that would mark the Malaysian budget carrier’s first move into regional narrowbodies. The agreement, if finalised, shifts AirAsia’s fleet strategy toward smaller, fuel-efficient single-aisle jets.

Briefing
About 100 A220s would be a sizeable commercial commitment, representing AirAsia’s first entry into regional narrowbodies and a material shift in its fleet mix.
A deal of this scale would affect Airbus delivery planning and backlog management amid the company’s ongoing delivery push and backlog constraints.
The potential order comes as Capital A finalises an AirAsia X share distribution, signalling group-level fleet and network adjustments in the region.
