Malaysia goes A330

MALAYSIA AIRLINES has firmed up a memorandum of understanding for 15 A330-300 passenger aircraft and an additional order for two A330-200F freighters for operation by its MASkargo unit.  These were the first firm orders for the wide-body aircraft this year.  Previously Airbus had only sold 11 of its A320 family of single-aisle aircraft.  State-controlled Malaysia Airlines is modernising its fleet to capitalise on air travel growth in Asia.  It said in December it would use the 283-seat A330s to serve the growing markets of South Asia, China, North Asia, Australia and the Middle East.  Deliveries of the new passenger aircraft will begin in the first half of 2011, with the first freighter joining the MASkargo fleet later next year. www.malaysiaairlines.com
