Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of Malaysia Airlines, has announced a firm order for 20 additional Airbus A330-900 aircraft. This move not only strengthens its market presence but also reinforces the airline’s commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency—two key factors in today’s aviation industry.
The acquisition of these 20 Airbus A330neo aircraft will double the airline’s fleet of this model to 40 units. The A330neo, which the company already operates with four units, represents the cutting edge in fuel efficiency, passenger comfort, and operational versatility. These aircraft are designed to serve both regional and long-haul routes, making them an ideal choice for Malaysia Airlines’ network expansion.
The A330neo features a fully redesigned premium cabin that maximizes passenger comfort. With a modern design and optimized space layout, passengers can enjoy an enhanced travel experience, including larger overhead storage compartments, a new ambient lighting system, and access to advanced in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.

“The A330neo continues to deliver the perfect balance of operational efficiency, range, and cabin comfort, supporting our growth strategy,” said Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of MAG.
According to Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP of Sales at Airbus, “This order reaffirms the outstanding performance, fuel efficiency, versatility, and comfort of the A330neo.”
With this investment in the A330neo, MAG ensures its competitiveness against other premium airlines and reinforces its commitment to sustainability.
