(MENAFN) Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia will delay delivery of eight Airbus A320-200 aircraft due for 2011 by three years, Reuters reported

This is the second time in three months that AirAsia has deferred delivery of planes. In July, it slashed planned deliveries of eight A320 planes due for 2010.

AirAsia will now defer a third or 16 out of 48 plane deliveries scheduled over the next two years, as the global economic crisis takes a toll on Southeast Asia's largest budget carrier.

The airline has firm orders for 175 Airbus A320 single-aisle planes, to be delivered up to 2014, as part of fleet replacement and expansion. Sixty-three of the planes have been delivered so far.
