KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Group, one of Europe's top five corporate export customers, will stop taking deliveries of Airbus jets this year and review its remaining orders as the coronavirus crisis heaps pressure on the Malaysian carrier.
AirAsia has ordered more than 660 Airbus jets since switching from a small Boeing fleet more than 15 years ago. As part of a broader settlement with Airbus in January, UK prosecutors alleged that a US$50 million sponsorship deal in 2012 between a now-defunct racing team co-owned by AirAsia founders and former Airbus parent EADS had influenced aircraft orders.
"It is the end of the special relationship between Airbus and AirAsia," said a source familiar with the matter.Fernandes could not be reached for comment and AirAsia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Airbus said it does not comment on discussions with individual airlines.
