By NAME MISSING2009-06-16T15:33:00+01:00

AirAsia X has ordered 10 Airbus A350-900 aircraft and placed options on five more.

The Malaysian low-cost long-haul carrier disclosed the agreement at the Paris Air Show today.

First deliveries of the aircraft are due to take place in the first quarter of 2016.

AirAsia X had been weighing up the A350 against the Boeing 787 but earlier this month indicated it had settled on the Airbus twin-jet.

A350s are currently available only with the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine.
