Over at Airbus, the European OEM reported that AirAsia Group has con- firmed that its existing and future A320 and A330 fleet will be powered by Airbus’ Skywise predictive maintenance services. The scope encom- passes AirAsia and AirAsia X’s fleets across all the subsidiaries in Malay- sia, Thailand, India, Japan, Philippines and Indonesia. The airline currently has around 230 aircraft in service. This is comple- mented with an order backlog of around 470 Airbus aircraft – which in- cludes 66 A330neos and over 400 A320/A321neos yet to be delivered. All of these aircraft will thus become Skywise-enabled. Also, Hong Kong Airlines has selected Airbus to provide Flight Hour Services – Tailored Support Package (FHS-TSP) for its fleet of 21 A350 XWBs. With this latest deal, the number of aircraft covered by an Airbus FHS-TSP solution in the Asia-Pacific raises to over 300 from 13 custom- ers, confirming the popularity of Airbus FHS services in the region. Airbus will support Hong-KongAirlines fleet of 21 A350 XWBs.
