Based on July 2018 report in The Star:LINK
In the letter, Airbus chief commercial officer Eric Schulz indicated the group’s willingness to carry out an 18-month study on the long-term economic viability of the project.
Schulz said the group was also prepared to consider setting up a training and a data centre.
He also proposed that Airbus and AirAsia jointly monitor the progress of the study with the relevant authorities.
Dr Mohamed Rafie said the proposed hub would need at least a 1,600ha area. (3,000 acres, wonder Sendayan got such big industrial land
“Apart from Labu, we are looking at several areas in Negri Sembilan, which should be easily accessible and have good infrastructure facilities,” he said.

That mean Airbus not decided where to set up the aviation hub (a final assembly line or a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility, MRO)
An industry executive familiar with the deal seemed confident the centre would materialise. He told The Edge Financial Daily that the scale of the investment by Airbus is “going to be large”, and may include the construction of a low-cost carrier (LCC) airport and a finishing line centre for plane manufacturers.
“Work it out — if you have an MRO, if you have a finishing line centre, you need to have a runway. There are many state governments that have wanted to build an LCC airport,” said the executive, who declined to be named as negotiations are still ongoing.
“This could the biggest MRO in Asia, if based just on AirAsia’s fleet size of some 700 planes. And then you’ve got Rolls Royce, you’ve got components, brakes and wheels. It could be the beginning of an aviation park, such as the one planned in Gujarat, India,” he added.
According to AirAsia, a feasibility study comprising three sections would be carried out over an 18-month period. The first centres on site survey, identification of the existing industrial assets, identifying potential enablers, and the industrial opportunities.
The second will be on on market analysis, preliminary business case, and industrial feasibility, while the third will focus on the shortlist of industrial opportunities, definition of next steps, including the necessary investment, training, and timeline up to the launch of the project.
