AirAsia X
Malaysian long-haul low-cost carrier AirAsia X is exploring the possibility of equipping its newly-ordered Airbus A350 widebodies with in-flight Wi-Fi to put passengers in control of their own in-flight entertainment (IFE) experience. Such a strategy is just one of a number of considerations for AirAsia X, which has an order for 10 A350s with the European airframer. But it exemplifies the type of innovative thinking for which the low-fares carrier is becoming renowned, according to Shashank Nigam, the CEO of SimpliFlying, a global airline marketing and branding consultancy.

AirAsia, Airbus
AirAsia will defer delivery of eight A320s scheduled to arrive next year to January-August 2014 without penalty. It still plans to take 16 new aircraft next year. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the LCC said it has until Oct. 31 to defer eight more aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2011 to 2014. It said it expects "infrastructural constraints with the current airport facilities" that will not be remedied until a low-cost terminal is built at Kuala Lumpur. Aug 10, 2009
