Paramount stock rises after FCC approves Skydance merger
Investing.com -- Airbus, the European planemaker, is in discussions with Malaysian airlines regarding its A220 aircraft, according to a top company executive. The state news agency Bernama reported the news on Monday.
Airbus sees potential in Malaysia for the A220, as around 150 of its other commercial aircraft are already in operation in the country. The firm’s Asia-Pacific president, Anand Stanley, communicated optimism for about 400 more orders for future delivery.
Stanley was quoted by the agency saying, "We see a lot of potential demand coming from Malaysia. We are still only in conversations, but we do hope, even though I cannot comment on timing, that we can see the A220 in Malaysia."
Malaysia ranks as the third-largest market for Airbus in the Asia-Pacific region, trailing only China and India.
Stanley also noted that budget airline AirAsia is a significant customer of Airbus’s A320 and A330 planes. Additionally, Malaysia Airlines operates a widebody fleet of Airbus jets.
