<p>[紐約/香港] 低成本東南亞航空公司亞航（AirAsia）即將敲定約 100 架空客（Airbus）區域噴氣機的訂單，消息人士透露，該航空公司希望擴展其運營。</p>
<p>消息人士表示，雙方已就條款達成一致，公告可能在本週內發佈，因談判為機密，消息人士要求不透露姓名。交易的時機仍可能發生變化。</p>
<p>這項 100 架飛機的訂單將是有史以來對 A220 飛機的最大單筆採購。消息人士稱，亞航正在考慮可能將承諾總規模推高至 150 架的選項。</p>

<p>亞航在馬來西亞商人託尼·費爾南德斯（Tony Fernandes）的監督下，正在積極推進擴張計劃，此前因新冠疫情縮減了運營並重組了財務。除了其區域亞洲市場外，該航空公司計劃最早在今年在巴林啓動中東樞紐，這將作為通往歐洲的中轉航班的發射平台。</p>
<p>亞航運營着一支全空客機隊，約有 250 架主要為單通道飛機，並且有近 400 架訂單的積壓，主要由暢銷的 A320 系列飛機組成。這家低成本航空公司在去年夏天初步同意以 123 億美元的協議購買多達 70 架超長航程的 A321neo 飛機，同時逐步淘汰其寬體機機隊。</p>
<p>A220 的交易醖釀已久，談判可以追溯到去年初。該機型可容納 100 至 160 名乘客，雖然比亞航通常運營的飛機要小，但將使其能夠在較小的機場和需求較低的市場運營傳統單通道噴氣機。</p>
<p>對空客最小的商用噴氣機進行三位數的訂單採購將對 A220 項目產生重大推動，該項目一直受到銷售緩慢和供應鏈問題的困擾，影響了產量和運營商。A220 在加拿大米拉貝爾和阿拉巴馬州莫比爾的工廠生產。彭博社</p>

<p>亞航即將達成一項訂單，計劃訂購約 100 架空客 A220 飛機，作為其擴張戰略的一部分，預計很快會有公告。這將成為迄今為止最大的一筆 A220 飛機採購。該航空公司在疫情期間進行重組後正在擴張，同時還考慮將訂單增加到 150 架。亞航計劃在今年在巴林啓動中東樞紐，進一步拓展其在亞洲以外的業務。A220 的較小尺寸使其能夠進入較小的機場，滿足對大型飛機需求較低的市場</p>

<p>[NEW YORK/HONG KONG] Low-cost South-east Asian carrier AirAsia is close to finalising an order for around 100 Airbus regional jets, according to sources familiar with the matter, as the airline looks to expand its operations.</p>

</div><p>AirAsia, overseen by Malaysian businessman Tony Fernandes, is pushing hard on expansion plans after scaling back operations and restructuring its finances during the Covid-19 pandemic. Beyond its regional Asian market, the airline is set to start its Middle East hub in Bahrain as early as this year, which will act as a launching pad for transit flights into Europe.</p>

</div><p>AirAsia operates an all-Airbus fleet with about 250 mostly single-aisle aircraft, and has a backlog of almost 400 orders comprised mostly of the top-selling A320 family of jets. The low-cost carrier tentatively agreed last summer to buy up to 70 of the extra long-range A321neo jets in a US$12.3 billion pact, while phasing out its widebody fleet.</p>

</div><p>The A220 deal has been long in the making, with negotiations stretching back into the early part of last year. The model, which can seat between 100 and 160 passengers, is smaller than what AirAsia usually flies but would enable it to operate from smaller airports and in markets that have less demand for traditional single-aisle jets.</p>

</div><p>A three-digit order haul for Airbus’s smallest commercial jet would be a major boost to the A220 programme, which has been beset by slow sales and supply-chain issues that have impeded output and operators.
