AirAsia Orders 50 A321XLRs in USD12.25 Billion Deal
Malaysia– AirAsia Berhad, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital A Berhad, signed a landmark agreement with Airbus valued at USD12.25 billion for 50 A321XLRs with rights for 20 A321XLRs. With this agreement, the airline takes a major step towards becoming the world’s first low-cost narrow-body network carrier, anchored by its multi-hub strategy. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery commencing 2028 through 2032.
Witnessed by Prime Minister of Malaysia YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the agreement was signed today in Paris between Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A, and Christian Scherer, CEO of Airbus Commercial Aircraft.
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A and Advisor & Steward of AirAsia Group said: “We pioneered low-cost travel in Asia – now, we are taking it to the next level. AirAsia is on a transformative journey to become the world’s first low-cost network carrier. This is about exponential growth, connecting geographies beyond Asean, and making flying even more democratic. We gave people in Asean the opportunity to explore Asia – now we want the world to see Asean, and Asean to see the world. The A321XLR and A321LR are the game-changers enabling this vision, and we are proud to lead the charge in making our world smaller. We can’t wait to paint the skies even wider in red.”
Christian Scherer, CEO Commercial Aircraft at Airbus said: “We are pleased to confirm this agreement, as AirAsia Group begins its next development chapter. Having resumed its growth trajectory, which we salute and support, the airline is creating solid fleet efficiencies, allowing global network expansion. The A321XLR unlocks new opportunities for AirAsia to launch non-stop flights linking primary and secondary cities all around the globe.”
The next-generation A321XLRs will operate alongside AirAsia’s all-Airbus fleet of A320 Family and A330 aircraft, supporting its long-term strategy to deliver unmatched connectivity across Asia and beyond, while maintaining a low-cost model through improved route economics, enhanced aircraft utilisation and fleet efficiency. AirAsia Group aims to carry 150 million guests annually by 2030, reaching a cumulative total of 1.5 billion guests since inception.
The new fleet plays a pivotal role in this transformation. AirAsia’s multi-aircraft strategy enables the airline to match capacity with demand, reduce fuel consumption, and support a sustainable, cost-effective growth model in a highly competitive global landscape. The A321XLR also offers up to 20 per cent lower fuel burn per seat than the Airbus A321neo aircraft, significantly improving emissions performance and operating efficiency.

US Flight Training Financial Lender Stratus Financial Fund Celebrates 4 Year Anniversary
USA – Stratus Financial, a private lending company specializing in commercial pilot loans, proudly announces the four-year anniversary of the Stratus Financial Fund. Since launching in 2021, the Fund has delivered consistent monthly payments to investors without missing a single distribution, offering accredited investors reliable income in a high-demand, purpose-driven vertical.
While the Fund originally delivered 13% to 15% annualized returns, it has since increased its offering to 16% to 19% annualized returns paid monthly, reflecting sustained portfolio performance, expanding capital demand, and investor confidence.
Over the past four years, the Stratus Financial Fund has empowered aspiring pilots to achieve their careers through affordable financing, while offering investors asset-backed income in a non-correlated, high-demand sector.
“Reaching the four-year mark affirms the durability of our strategy,” said Alan Rios, Chief Investment Officer at Stratus Financial. “We remain focused on disciplined underwriting that delivers stable, risk-adjusted returns for investors while opening career pathways for the next generation of commercial pilots.”

Watching students become pilots and investors receive monthly income along the way; it doesn’t get more rewarding than that.”
The Fund has attracted a growing base of accredited investors seeking alternatives to traditional fixed-income options. With monthly distributions, quarterly reporting, and a conservative, loan backed portfolio, the Stratus Financial Fund continues to stand out as a consistent performer in a volatile market environment.
“We’ve spent the last four years building this from the ground up, one borrower and one investor at a time,” said Brandon Martini, COO and Co-Founder. “We are humbled by the trust we’ve earned, and we’re more motivated than ever to expand our reach, grow our impact, and continue doing business the right way.”
