The AirAsia Group intends to focus more on the freight business in the future. In this context, the Airbus A321F model has been considered, but at least temporarily it is also using wet-lease capacities.

A Boeing 737-800BCF operated by K-Mile Asia was put into service these days. It is the HS-KME that was originally delivered to Ryanair. According to CH-Aviation.com, the Thai operator is 45 percent owned by ASL Airlines Switzerland.

The 2023 freighter fleet is to be expanded to at least six units by 737. Air Asia also has considerable interest in the Airbus A321F, but they want to purchase them ex works. Specifically, this means that if the European manufacturer were to bring such a model onto the market, the airline from Malaysia could convert existing orders into cargo models.
