Recalling ‘black eye’ in 1998, PM Anwar backs protection for detainees to prevent lock-up abuses, says willing to join Suhakam checksMalaysia Airlines has faced operational challenges recently, with five flight diversions or emergency landings since August, leading to its air operator certificate being shortened to one year by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia.
In the space of one month since early August, the local carrier’s planes have had to be redirected or undertaken emergency landing five times. Flights were delayed and the number of routes was reduced. However, a bloated workforce, high overheads, and inefficiencies within the organisation continue to undermine its attempts at financial recovery. Even with the additional challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, which required further government support, Malaysia Airlines remains unprofitable, raising questions about its long-term sustainability.
Malaysia Aviation Group — the parent company behind MAB — said it was scheduled to receive 17 new aircraft orders by 2024, as part of its fleet modernisation programme and to support its growth requirements. These resignations have exacerbated existing operational inefficiencies, particularly in maintenance and engineering, which are critical for the airline’s safety and performance.
