Petaling jaya: AirAsia Bhd has rejected allegations that it acted improperly when it bought aircraft from Europe’s Airbus SE years ago.
In a statement on its website yesterday, AirAsia said it was neither involved in any way with the United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office’s investigation of Airbus, nor was it given any opportunity to provide any information or clarification to the SFO.
The reports also said the airlines ordered 180 aircraft from Airbus, with the executives described as being “rewarded in respect of the aircraft order” which the document said was “secured by way of improper payments”. “The articles referenced above allege that certain agreements by AirAsia to order Airbus aircraft were improperly linked to sponsorship by Airbus of a sports team jointly owned by AirAsia executives. AirAsia vigorously rejects and denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing, ” said AirAsia.
“We also wish to emphasise that all negotiations and dealings leading to the signing of any aircraft purchase agreement have been undertaken directly with Airbus on an arm’s length basis, and without the involvement of any third parties or intermediaries.
