Malaysia's first Airbus A330neo aircraft has finally arrived, marking a significant milestone for the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) and the country's aviation industry. Transport Minister Anthony Loke acknowledges the challenges faced due to global supply chain issues but celebrates the successful delivery of the state-of-the-art airliner.
The arrival of Malaysia’s first Airbus A330neo marks a significant milestone for the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) and the nation, says Anthony Loke. The Transport Minister said despite several delays on the launch of A330neo due to global supply chain and manufacturing issues, MAG and its partners at Airbus had navigated through adversities and managed to deliver the state-of-the-art airliner.
“The launch of MAG’s first Airbus A330neo is not simply the introduction of a new aircraft – it is a culmination of resilience, determination and an unwavering belief in the power of progress.“As this aircraft prepares to embark on its inaugural flight to Melbourne, it carries with it a renewed sense of pride and optimism for the future of Malaysian aviation,” he said at the launch of the aircraft at the MAB Engineering Complex here yesterday. With that, Loke said there are high expectations on the national carrier as Malaysians want MAB to expand with more new routes, especially in Europe.State-of-the-art gear: Loke checking out the entertainment system of the A330neo. — CHAN TAK KONG/The Star “So, we hope that very soon, we can fly back to Europe. That is the plan next year and I think it can be realised very soon,” Loke said, adding that this is part of a larger vision to improve connectivity and enhance MAB’s presence globally. In 2016, MAB ceased flights to several European destinations as part of a restructuring, retaining only its London route.“KLIA (KL International Airport) must become a global aviation hub and MAG plays a crucial role in this. “Additionally, with the modernisation of MAB’s fleet, there must be significant improvements in on-time performance,” he sai
