We are still doing a lot of work with Airbus and other manufacturers. I think we will look to do something imminently, in the next one to three months. We want to make sure we clear out of our restructuring. The great thing is, we are back in the growth stage,” Fernandes told Reuters. He added AirAsia is speaking to China’s COMAC about a potential order of the C919. “We received an offer from COMAC. The geopolitics don’t help. We need to be confident it is going to be OK, but it is a good aircraft and we will certainly look at it.”
