KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will go all out to drive the design and implementation of the business plan to turn the national carrier to sustainable profitability.
MAS new managing director and chief executive officer Christoph Mueller said MAS needs to operate and utilize its fleet at an optimum level besides maximizing revenue on the route it flies.
"The market needs to give Malaysia Airlines room to explore various options in determining the most viable strategy," Mueller said in his first statement to the media yesterday.
Mueller assumed leadership of the MAS on May 1, 2015 following a decision by its sole shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Bhd to accelerate the leadership transition to enable Mueller to be in the executive capacity to lead the overall restructuring of MAS.
