Malaysia’s AirAsia has placed an order for 150 latest generation A-220/300 aircraft. The purchase agreement is the largest single firm order placed for this model.

The purchase agreement makes AirAsia a new customer for the A-220. The airline also becomes the launch customer for the aircraft's new cabin configuration of 160 seats.

The A-220 complements AirAsia’s existing Airbus fleet and will play a key role in advancing the Group’s network and growth. The aircraft will service destinations across ASEAN and into Central Asia, freeing up larger aircraft to fly longer routes.

The model is the most modern airliner in its size category, carrying between 100 to 160 passengers on flights of up to 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km). At the end of March 2026, 501 units had been delivered to 25 operators worldwide.
