Airbus has announced a new order for 20 additional widebody A330neo aircraft from Malaysia Airlines' parent company – Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG).
The firm order for the 20 A330-900 aircraft will add to the airline group's previous orders for the widebody aircraft, bringing MAG's total number of the A330neo to 40.
“The A330neo continues to deliver the right balance of operational efficiency, range, and cabin comfort to support our network and growth strategy,” said Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of MAG. “With its enhanced fuel efficiency and flexibility across both regional and long-haul routes, the aircraft is a strong fit for our evolving market needs. It also allows us to offer a product that aligns with our premium positioning – streamlined, modern, and designed around passenger comfort and expectations. This additional order reinforces our long-term vision of building a future-ready fleet that supports sustainable growth, delivers consistent value to our passengers, and strengthens our competitiveness in key markets.”
“We are proud to further strengthen our relationship with Malaysia Aviation Group as it expands its A330neo fleet,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “This repeat order is a strong endorsement of the A330neo’s exceptional performance, fuel efficiency, versatility and passenger comfort, as well as a testament to the aircraft’s popularity among the world’s premium airlines.”
MAG first ordered the A330neo in 2022. Of the 20 previously ordered by the airline group, four of the A330neos have been delivered. Featuring Malaysia Airlines' newest premium cabin products, the airline currently uses the A330neo on flights to Melbourne, Auckland, and Denpasar (Bali).
