Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of national carrier Malaysia Airlines, has placed a firm order with Airbus for 20 more A-330/900 aircraft. This new order will double airline’s future A-330neo fleet to 40 airplanes.

The announcement was made during the official visit to France of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, HE Anwar Ibrahim.

MAG first selected the A-330neo in 2022 under its widebody fleet renewal programme, with a commitment for 20 aircraft, of which four have now been delivered. The aircraft are already operating on services from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne, Auckland and Bali. 

Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A-330/900 is capable of flying 7,200 nm / 13,300 km non-stop. 

At the end of May 2025, the A-330 Family had won over 1,800 firm orders from more than 130 customers worldwide. As with all in-production Airbus aircraft, the A-330neo is able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to increase to up to 100% SAF capability by 2030.
