| MALAYSIA B777-200ER 9M-MRL (CN 29065)
Malaysia Airlines is set to suspend its daily Kuala Lumpur – Brisbane
services from the 9th
August. According to local sources the carrier
is also set to close its Brisbane office.
The Malaysian flag carrier has signalled it would undertake significant cuts
to its workforce, believed to be up to six thousand people. A rationalization of
the route network, including terminating services and a reduction in frequencies
is also being done in order to turn the carrier around to profitability. The
airline’s new CEO, Mr Christopher Mueller, has declared the carrier “technically
bankrupt” and is undertaking these drastic measures after the tragic events of
MH17 and MH370 in 2014. Malaysian Airlines System (MAS), the parent company to
Malaysia Airlines is under administration and it is set to become a new company
from 01 September 2015 as Malaysia Airlines Berhard (MAB). A completely new
brand and name is also being considered to relaunch a completely new
airline.
