The office on Friday said that Airbus had failed to prevent individuals associated with it from bribing executives linked to AirAsia and its long-haul arm, AirAsia X Bhd. AirAsia said it had never made any purchase decisions that were premised on an Airbus sponsorship, and that it would fully cooperate with the commission. It had not been involved with the office’s investigation of Airbus or been given an opportunity to provide clarification, it said in a statement. “AirAsia vigorously rejects and denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing,” it said. It said that Airbus employees offered an additional US$55 million, but no payment was made.
