In an email to FlightGlobal, AirAsia X confirmed that it was evaluating the layout for some of the 66 A330-900s it has on order, or even leasing in A330-300s in a high-density configuration." "At present, Lion Air operates the most densely configured A330-300s, with 440 seats in an all-economy layout, Fleets Analyzer shows. Cebu Pacific Air's A330-300s follow close behind with 436 seats."

Is it possible the AirAsia X is a customer for the QR-Frames in storage. As example MSN63?
Maybe that is a possible cause why we see some activity with MSN63. Let us start the speculations.

The cost of cabin refurbishing includes the cost of the seats, cabin monuments and other fittings, as well as manpower. I think most of the supplies can be re-used on other QR frames. As regards manpower, whatever was spent to fit out the frame to QR's specs was Airbus' unrecovered cost. What is to be spent to re-fit the aircraft is included in the new buyer's sales price. I don't think this issue could block a sale. There are, however, other potential buyers. |

a380.boards.net/post/100133/thread In the same article, Mr Maghfur is also quoted as saying that Air Asia does not expect to receive its first two A330neo before year-end 2018 or even early 2019.
