"We are very happy to have these two aircraft as part of the AirAsia X Berhad family as it gives us the right capacity to introduce more frequencies and connectivity into our route network."

In February, Airbus delivered an A330-300 aircraft to Turkish Airlines.

The 300th aircraft of Turkish Airlines, the new aircraft was planned to be deployed on medium and long-haul routes in line with the airline’s growth strategy.

Since 1984, Turkish Airlines has been operating Airbus jetliners starting with the A310, and currently has around 160 Airbus-built aircraft, including more than 50 jets from the A330 family.
