[新聞] Airasia X重開KUL-LGW?

重點提要：

1.Airasia X預計於今年第2季復飛吉隆坡倫敦航線

2.原訂於2018 A339neo交機再復航，但延誤至2019，先租2支77W搶先18個月

3.這兩支77W原本採低密度座位配置

4.(原文無)有八卦指出這兩隻77W是B-16701/B-16702

    Malaysia's AirAsia X: plans to lease two used 777-300ERs for
    London Gatwick summer 2017 relaunch
    30-Jan-2017
    Malaysian long haul low cost airline AirAsia X is planning to dry
    lease two 777-300ERs from 2Q2017 to support the resumption of
    services to London Gatwick in Jun-2017. Its joint venture airline
    in Thailand is also aiming to launch long haul services to Europe
    in summer 2017 with a new route to Frankfurt, using the group’s
    existing A330-300ceo fleet.

    The lease of second hand 777-300ERs enables AirAsia X to
    accelerate the relaunch of flights between its main home market of
     Malaysia and Europe. Previously AirAsia X was intending to wait
    for the delivery of the A330-900neo to resume long haul flights,
    which it last operated in 2012 with inefficient A340-300s.

    The group was initially aiming to start operating A330-900neos
    from 2018, but first delivery has been delayed to early 2019.
    Short term leases on two 777-300ERs therefore give AirAsia X at
    least an 18 month jump on resuming London – a strategically
    important market.

    However, the 777-300ERs come with high risks and costs,
    particularly given the current market conditions and the
    relatively low density full service airline configuration that
    AirAsia X inherits with the aircraft.
