AirAsia X cancels A330neo orders, delays Bahrain hub
AirAsia X (D7, Kuala Lumpur International) has cancelled an outstanding order for fifteen A330-900N aircraft, according to May 2026 orders and deliveries data from Airbus. The previously announced cancellation follows a shift across AirAsia Group to long-range narrowbodies. The group recently committed to fifty A321-200NY(XLR) aircraft.
Separately, AirAsia X has delayed the launch of its planned hub at Bahrain International, citing concerns over the conflict in the Middle East. The carrier confirmed that its planned fifth-freedom Kuala Lumpur International-Bahrain-London Gatwick service, originally scheduled to launch in June 2026, will now commence in August or September, subject to operational and market conditions.
