Kuala Lumpur can give up Malaysia Airlines, says ClaraMarquesRTR:
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on March 12 that the government is considering whether to shut, sell or refinance its flag carrier, Malaysia Airlines, and would make a decision “soon”.
The airline - hit by twin disasters in 2014, including the disappearance of flight MH370 - had aimed to break even in 2018. Sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional took the carrier private in 2014. Managing Director Shahril Ridza Ridzuan said on March 5 that the government needed to take a call on its investment in Malaysia Airlines.
Malaysia Airlines said on March 1 that it had finished 2018 with only a “marginally lower loss”, blaming crew shortages, along with increased supply as competitors added capacity, and volatile fuel and currency conditions.
