History[edit]In 1947, the airline began as Malayan Airways, being renamed Malaysian Airways after Malaysia gained independence. After that, it changed its name once more to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. MSA ceased operations in 1972, and two airlines were born — Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and Singapore Airlines.

On 22 December 2009, Malaysia Airlines announced the purchase of 15 new Airbus A330 aircraft, with options for another 10. Expected to be delivered between 2011 and 2016, they are intended to operate on medium-haul routes to eastern Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline's plans are to run  Airbus A380 planes, which will be introduced into service in 2012, on long-haul routes, A330s on medium-haul routes, and Boeing 737 aircraft on short-haul routes. Under this plan, it is unclear where Boeing wide-bodies currently in the fleet would fall. [18]

Third unprofitability[edit]

Malaysia Airlines recorded a stunning net loss of MYR2.52 billion for the full year 2011 due to rising fuel costs and mismanagement which was the largest in its company history. [citation needed] A major restructuring to the Board of the Company saw the appointment of a new Group Chief Executive Officer. Ahmad Jauhari Yahya was appointed as Group CEO in September 2011. One of the first initiatives to stop the losses was a rationalisation of the network. The company suspended services to  Surabaya, Karachi, Dubai, Dammam and Johannesburg in January 2012, and ceased flights to Cape Town, Buenos Aires as well as Rome in February 2012.Business Turnaround Plan[edit]On 28 February 2013, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Airlines, reported a net profit of RM51.4mil for the fourth quarter, reversing the net loss of RM1.3bil a year earlier. MAS' improved financial performance last year was mainly attributable to its route rationalization programme, which saw an overall 8% reduction in available seat kilometre (ASK). This was matched by a marginal 1% reduction in revenue to RM13.76bil in 2012 and seat factor holding at 74.5%. The reduced ASK also helped MAS register a corresponding 14% decrease in expenditure.[19]

2014 aircraft losses[edit]Further information: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

In 2014, Malaysia Airlines lost two Boeing 777 aircraft in 131 days (four months), with a total of 537 passengers and crew lost. Flight 370 disappeared over the South China Sea on 8 March with 239 persons aboard, leaving little evidence behind, and no debris from the plane has been found as of July 2014. [20][21] Flight 17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on 17 July with 298 passengers and crew, after it was believed to have been hit with a surface-to-air missile.[22]

An Airspeed Consul, the first aircraft type operated by Malayan Airways.A month after the disappearance, Malaysia Airlines' chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya acknowledged that ticket sales had declined but failed to provide specific details. This may partially result from the suspension of the airline's advertisement campaigns following the disappearance. Mr. Ahmad stated in an interview with the  Wall Street Journal that the airline's "primary focus...is that we do take care of the families in terms of their emotional needs and also their financial needs. It is important that we provide answers for them. It is important that the world has answers, as well." [24] In further remarks, Mr. Ahmad said he wasn't sure when the airline could start repairing its image, but that the airline was adequately insured to cover the financial loss stemming from Flight 370's disappearance. [23][24] In China, where the majority of passengers were from, bookings on Malaysia Airlines were down 60% in March. [25]

Malay aviation history[edit]Scheduled air passenger and mail services in Malaya commenced in 1937 when Wearne's Air Service (WAS) commenced operating services between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Wearne's Air Service was started by two Australian brothers, Theodore and Charles Wearnes. [5] The service commenced as a thrice weekly flight between Singapore and Penang The first flight, using an 8-seater de Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide took place on 28 June 1937[6] This inaugural flight departed Singapore from the then brand-new Kallang Airport which had just opened earlier in the same month on 12 June[7] Later a second D.H.89A enabled the expansion to daily services as well as the addition of Ipoh as a destination. The WAS services ceased with the onset of the World War II Japanese occupation of Malaya and Singapore.Beginnings[edit]Royal Brunei AirlinesRoyal JordanianSilkAirSingapore AirlinesSriLankan AirlinesThai Airways InternationalTurkish AirlinesUzbekistan AirwaysXiamen Airlines

Boeing 747-400 9M-MPD of Malaysia Airlines in the special "Hibiscus" livery, taking off at Main article: Malaysia Airlines fleetFollowing the Widespread Asset Unbundling (WAU) restructuring of Malaysia Airlines, Malaysian Government investment arm and holding company, Khazanah Nasional's subsidiary, Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad[27] is the majority shareholder with a 52.0% stake.[27] After Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad, the second-largest shareholder isKhazanah Nasional, which holds 17.33% of the shares. Minority shareholders include Employees Provident Fund Board (10.72%), Amanah Raya Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn Bhd (5.69%), State Financial Secretary Sarawak (2.71%), foreign shareholders (5.13%) [27] and Warisan Harta Sabah (2.4%). It has 19,546 employees (as of March, 2007). [28]The Malaysian government reported that the government's holding company, Khazanah Nasional is keen on selling shares of Malaysia Airlines to remain globally competitive in an industry which is fast-consolidating. [29]

Head office[edit]The airline has its headquarters and registered office on the third floor of Administration Building A at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Selangor, in Greater Kuala Lumpur.[30] The head office is located near Terminal 3 of the airport.[31]

Previously the airline headquarters were on the third floor of the MAS Administrative Complex at Subang Airport, [32][33] in Subang.[31] Prior to the construction of the Kuala Lumpur MAS headquarters, the airline rented space in the UMBC headquarters. [34] The airline had a permanent corporate headquarters in the Bangunan MAS, [35] a 34-36 story[31][34] building it owned along Jalan Sultan Ismail,[34] in the Golden Triangle.[31] The airline occupied 20 stories in the building.[31] The building was built for RM88mil. In 2005 The Star said that the building was "reported to be worth between RM300mil and RM350mil". [34] At one time before 2005 the airline chairperson, Raja Tun Mohar, made an oral promise to Tun Abdul Razak of the Government of Malaysia that the airline would not sell its headquarters.[34] The airline had 600 employees in the building.[31]

In 2006,[31] the airline moved its head office from the Kuala Lumpur building to the former headquarters in Subang, [31] in order to reduce inefficiencies and generate cash.[36] Channel News Asia stated that the airline had been "forced" to sell the former headquarters. [37] Idris Jala, the managing director, said that the sale could net RM3bil. In the event it did not, the airline would try to rent out the floors it occupied. The first phase was scheduled to occur from January to March of that year, with the chairperson, executive director, managing director, company secretary, corporate communication officer, and finance communication officer moving to the Subang facility. In June 2006, Phase II was planned as a move for the distribution, marketing, and sales divisions of the company, to Administration Block Three. [31]

Around 2007 Permodalan Nasional Bhd purchased Bangunan MAS from the airline. The new owners planned to remodel the building, by installing a five star hotel apartment block and upgrade the offices to Grade A++. [38]

The airline planned to relocate its headquarters from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport to Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Selangor in Greater Kuala Lumpur in February 2012.[39]

Subsidiaries[edit]Main article: Malaysia Airlines SubsidiariesMalaysia Airlines has diversified into related industries and sectors, including aircraft ground handling, aircraft leasing, aviation engineering, air catering, and tour operator operations. It has also restructured itself by spinning-off operational units as fully owned subsidiaries to maintain its core business as a passenger airline. In 2013, Malaysia Airlines has 28 subsidiaries, with 25 of them fully owned by Malaysia Airlines. [40]

Hilton Hotels Corporation, InterContinental Hotels Group, Avis Rent a Car System, The Hertz CorporationFinancial highlights[edit]Malaysia Airlines experienced a RM1.25 billion loss in FY2005. Since then, the Business Turnaround Plan was introduced to revive the airline, in the year 2006. At the end of the airline's turnaround program, in financial year 2007, Malaysia Airlines gained RM851 million net profit: a swing of RM987 million compared to RM134 million in losses in FY2006, marking the national carrier’s highest-ever profit in its 60-year history. The achievement was recognised as the world’s best airline-turnaround story in 2007, with Malaysia Airlines being awarded the Phoenix award by Penton Media's  Air Transport World: the leading monthly magazine covering the global airline industry.

Branding[edit]From the late 1990s up to 2007, Malaysia Airlines used the Going Beyond Expectations slogan to brand itself internationally. With the rollout of the Business Transformation Plan in 2008, [43] the CEO of Malaysia Airlines rejected the idea of using MH's network or certain other features as its new branding strategy. [44] Instead, the new branding strategy slogan is MH is Malaysian Hospitality, to emphasise the hospitality of its cabin crew instead of the airline's network and cabin classes.Corporate image[edit]Malaysia Airlines introduced the Sarong Kebaya design on 1 March 1986[45] for female flight attendants. It was designed by the School of Fashion at Mara Institute of Technology (Malay: Institut Teknologi Mara) and later known as Mara University of Technology (Malay: Universiti Teknologi Mara). The batik material depicts the kelarai motif, which is a bamboo weave pattern. It appears in the background in subdued hues of the basic uniform colour. Superimposed on the kelarai motif is a mixture of Malaysian flora, such as the cempaka, jasmine and the leaves of the hibiscus. The geometric Sarawakian motif is used for the lapels of the baju, edges of sleeves and the sarong. On 1 January 1993, the colours of the batik were enhanced to complement the colour of the new uniform. The male flight attendants wear grey colour jackets. [46] The stewardess' Batik uniforms are similar to those of the Singapore Airlines' Singapore Girls, however the shape of the collar is slightly different.Malaysia Airlines cabin staff[edit]Jump up^ "Malaysia Airlines to Join Oneworld in February".

All with new product features consistent with Airbus A380 and Boeing 737-800

Used as a temporary backup/relief aircraft when the A380s undergo scheduled wing flex fix. The plane had recently operated a flight MH5002 from One additional aircraft (9M-MRO) has been missing since 8 March 2014 on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Additionally, the airline started Project Omega and Project Alpha to improve the company's network and revenue management. Emphasis has been placed on six areas: pricing, revenue management, network scheduling, opening storefronts, low season strategy and distribution management.

In 1947, the airline began as Malayan Airways, being renamed Malaysian Airways after Malaysia gained independence. After that, it changed its name once more to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. MSA ceased operations in 1972, and two airlines were born — Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and Singapore Airlines.

Airbus A330 aircraft, with options for another 10. Expected to be delivered between 2011 and 2016, they are intended to operate on medium-haul routes to eastern Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline's plans are to run  Airbus A380 planes, which will be introduced into service in 2012, on long-haul routes, A330s on medium-haul routes, and Boeing 737 aircraft on short-haul routes. Under this plan, it is unclear where Boeing wide-bodies currently in the fleet would fall. [18]

Malaysia Airlines recorded a stunning net loss of MYR2.52 billion for the full year 2011 due to rising fuel costs and mismanagement which was the largest in its company history. [citation needed] A major restructuring to the Board of the Company saw the appointment of a new Group Chief Executive Officer. Ahmad Jauhari Yahya was appointed as Group CEO in September 2011. One of the first initiatives to stop the losses was a rationalisation of the network. The company suspended services to  Surabaya, Karachi, Dubai, Dammam and Johannesburg in January 2012, and ceased flights to Cape Town, Buenos Aires as well as Rome in February 2012.

On 28 February 2013, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Airlines, reported a net profit of RM51.4mil for the fourth quarter, reversing the net loss of RM1.3bil a year earlier. MAS' improved financial performance last year was mainly attributable to its route rationalization programme, which saw an overall 8% reduction in available seat kilometre (ASK). This was matched by a marginal 1% reduction in revenue to RM13.76bil in 2012 and seat factor holding at 74.5%. The reduced ASK also helped MAS register a corresponding 14% decrease in expenditure.[19]

Group's Equity Shareholding

In 2014, Malaysia Airlines lost two Boeing 777 aircraft in 131 days (four months), with a total of 537 passengers and crew lost. Flight 370 disappeared over the South China Sea on 8 March with 239 persons aboard, leaving little evidence behind, and no debris from the plane has been found as of July 2014. [20][21] Flight 17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on 17 July with 298 passengers and crew, after it was believed to have been hit with a surface-to-air missile.[22]

A month after the disappearance, Malaysia Airlines' chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya acknowledged that ticket sales had declined but failed to provide specific details. This may partially result from the suspension of the airline's advertisement campaigns following the disappearance. Mr. Ahmad stated in an interview with the  Wall Street Journal that the airline's "primary focus...is that we do take care of the families in terms of their emotional needs and also their financial needs. It is important that we provide answers for them. It is important that the world has answers, as well." [24] In further remarks, Mr. Ahmad said he wasn't sure when the airline could start repairing its image, but that the airline was adequately insured to cover the financial loss stemming from Flight 370's disappearance. [23][24] In China, where the majority of passengers were from, bookings on Malaysia Airlines were down 60% in March. [25]

Scheduled air passenger and mail services in Malaya commenced in 1937 when Wearne's Air Service (WAS) commenced operating services between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Wearne's Air Service was started by two Australian brothers, Theodore and Charles Wearnes. [5] The service commenced as a thrice weekly flight between Singapore and Penang The first flight, using an 8-seater de Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide took place on 28 June 1937[6] This inaugural flight departed Singapore from the then brand-new Kallang Airport which had just opened earlier in the same month on 12 June[7] Later a second D.H.89A enabled the expansion to daily services as well as the addition of Ipoh as a destination. The WAS services ceased with the onset of the World War II Japanese occupation of Malaya and Singapore.

Following the Widespread Asset Unbundling (WAU) restructuring of Malaysia Airlines, Malaysian Government investment arm and holding company, Khazanah Nasional's subsidiary, Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad[27] is the majority shareholder with a 52.0% stake.[27] After Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad, the second-largest shareholder isKhazanah Nasional, which holds 17.33% of the shares. Minority shareholders include Employees Provident Fund Board (10.72%), Amanah Raya Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn Bhd (5.69%), State Financial Secretary Sarawak (2.71%), foreign shareholders (5.13%) [27] and Warisan Harta Sabah (2.4%). It has 19,546 employees (as of March, 2007). [28]The Malaysian government reported that the government's holding company, Khazanah Nasional is keen on selling shares of Malaysia Airlines to remain globally competitive in an industry which is fast-consolidating.

Previously the airline headquarters were on the third floor of the MAS Administrative Complex at Subang Airport, [32][33] in Subang.[31] Prior to the construction of the Kuala Lumpur MAS headquarters, the airline rented space in the UMBC headquarters. [34] The airline had a permanent corporate headquarters in the Bangunan MAS, [35] a 34-36 story[31][34] building it owned along Jalan Sultan Ismail,[34] in the Golden Triangle.[31] The airline occupied 20 stories in the building.[31] The building was built for RM88mil. In 2005 The Star said that the building was "reported to be worth between RM300mil and RM350mil". [34] At one time before 2005 the airline chairperson, Raja Tun Mohar, made an oral promise to Tun Abdul Razak of the Government of Malaysia that the airline would not sell its headquarters.[34] The airline had 600 employees in the building.[31]

 the airline moved its head office from the Kuala Lumpur building to the former headquarters in Subang, [31] in order to reduce inefficiencies and generate cash.[36] Channel News Asia stated that the airline had been "forced" to sell the former headquarters. [37] Idris Jala, the managing director, said that the sale could net RM3bil. In the event it did not, the airline would try to rent out the floors it occupied. The first phase was scheduled to occur from January to March of that year, with the chairperson, executive director, managing director, company secretary, corporate communication officer, and finance communication officer moving to the Subang facility. In June 2006, Phase II was planned as a move for the distribution, marketing, and sales divisions of the company, to Administration Block Three. [31]

The airline planned to relocate its headquarters from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport to Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Selangor in Greater Kuala Lumpur in February 2012.[39]

aircraft ground handling, aircraft leasing, aviation engineering, air catering, and tour operator operations. It has also restructured itself by spinning-off operational units as fully owned subsidiaries to maintain its core business as a passenger airline. In 2013, Malaysia Airlines has 28 subsidiaries, with 25 of them fully owned by Malaysia Airlines. [40]

Malaysia Airlines experienced a RM1.25 billion loss in FY2005. Since then, the Business Turnaround Plan was introduced to revive the airline, in the year 2006. At the end of the airline's turnaround program, in financial year 2007, Malaysia Airlines gained RM851 million net profit: a swing of RM987 million compared to RM134 million in losses in FY2006, marking the national carrier’s highest-ever profit in its 60-year history. The achievement was recognised as the world’s best airline-turnaround story in 2007, with Malaysia Airlines being awarded the Phoenix award by Penton Media's  Air Transport World: the leading monthly magazine covering the global airline industry. [41]

Going Beyond Expectations slogan to brand itself internationally. With the rollout of the Business Transformation Plan in 2008, [43] the CEO of Malaysia Airlines rejected the idea of using MH's network or certain other features as its new branding strategy. [44] Instead, the new branding strategy slogan is MH is Malaysian Hospitality, to emphasise the hospitality of its cabin crew instead of the airline's network and cabin classes.

It was designed by the School of Fashion at Mara Institute of Technology (Malay: Institut Teknologi Mara) and later known as Mara University of Technology (Malay: Universiti Teknologi Mara). The batik material depicts the kelarai motif, which is a bamboo weave pattern. It appears in the background in subdued hues of the basic uniform colour. Superimposed on the kelarai motif is a mixture of Malaysian flora, such as the cempaka, jasmine and the leaves of the hibiscus. The geometric Sarawakian motif is used for the lapels of the baju, edges of sleeves and the sarong. On 1 January 1993, the colours of the batik were enhanced to complement the colour of the new uniform. The male flight attendants wear grey colour jackets. [46] The stewardess' Batik uniforms are similar to those of the Singapore Airlines' Singapore Girls, however the shape of the collar is slightly different.

 aircraft, with options for another 10. Expected to be delivered between 2011 and 2016, they are intended to operate on medium-haul routes to eastern Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline's plans are to run  Airbus A380 planes, which will be introduced into service in 2012, on long-haul routes, A330s on medium-haul routes, and Boeing 737 aircraft on short-haul routes. Under this plan, it is unclear where Boeing wide-bodies currently in the fleet would fall. [18]

 A major restructuring to the Board of the Company saw the appointment of a new Group Chief Executive Officer. Ahmad Jauhari Yahya was appointed as Group CEO in September 2011. One of the first initiatives to stop the losses was a rationalisation of the network. The company suspended services to  Surabaya, Karachi, Dubai, Dammam and Johannesburg in January 2012, and ceased flights to Cape Town, Buenos Aires as well as Rome in February 2012.

On 28 February 2013, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Airlines, reported a net profit of RM51.4mil for the fourth quarter, reversing the net loss of RM1.3bil a year earlier. MAS' improved financial performance last year was mainly attributable to its route rationalization programme, which saw an overall 8% reduction in available seat kilometre (ASK). This was matched by a marginal 1% reduction in revenue to RM13.76bil in 2012 and seat factor holding at 74.5%. The reduced ASK also helped MAS register a corresponding 14% decrease in expenditure.[19]

In 2014, Malaysia Airlines lost two Boeing 777 aircraft in 131 days (four months), with a total of 537 passengers and crew lost. Flight 370 disappeared over the South China Sea on 8 March with 239 persons aboard, leaving little evidence behind, and no debris from the plane has been found as of July 2014. [20][21] Flight 17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on 17 July with 298 passengers and crew, after it was believed to have been hit with a surface-to-air missile.[22]

A month after the disappearance, Malaysia Airlines' chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya acknowledged that ticket sales had declined but failed to provide specific details. This may partially result from the suspension of the airline's advertisement campaigns following the disappearance. Mr. Ahmad stated in an interview with the  Wall Street Journal that the airline's "primary focus...is that we do take care of the families in terms of their emotional needs and also their financial needs. It is important that we provide answers for them. It is important that the world has answers, as well." [24] In further remarks, Mr. Ahmad said he wasn't sure when the airline could start repairing its image, but that the airline was adequately insured to cover the financial loss stemming from Flight 370's disappearance. [23][24] In China, where the majority of passengers were from, bookings on Malaysia Airlines were down 60% in March. [25]

. Wearne's Air Service was started by two Australian brothers, Theodore and Charles Wearnes. [5] The service commenced as a thrice weekly flight between Singapore and Penang The first flight, using an 8-seater de Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide took place on 28 June 1937[6] This inaugural flight departed Singapore from the then brand-new Kallang Airport which had just opened earlier in the same month on 12 June[7] Later a second D.H.89A enabled the expansion to daily services as well as the addition of Ipoh as a destination. The WAS services ceased with the onset of the World War II Japanese occupation of Malaya and Singapore.

 After Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad, the second-largest shareholder isKhazanah Nasional, which holds 17.33% of the shares. Minority shareholders include Employees Provident Fund Board (10.72%), Amanah Raya Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn Bhd (5.69%), State Financial Secretary Sarawak (2.71%), foreign shareholders (5.13%) [27] and Warisan Harta Sabah (2.4%). It has 19,546 employees (as of March, 2007). [28]The Malaysian government reported that the government's holding company, Khazanah Nasional is keen on selling shares of Malaysia Airlines to remain globally competitive in an industry which is fast-consolidating. [29]

 The airline had a permanent corporate headquarters in the Bangunan MAS, [35] a 34-36 story[31][34] building it owned along Jalan Sultan Ismail,[34] in the Golden Triangle.[31] The airline occupied 20 stories in the building.[31] The building was built for RM88mil. In 2005 The Star said that the building was "reported to be worth between RM300mil and RM350mil". [34] At one time before 2005 the airline chairperson, Raja Tun Mohar, made an oral promise to Tun Abdul Razak of the Government of Malaysia that the airline would not sell its headquarters.[34] The airline had 600 employees in the building.[31]

 Idris Jala, the managing director, said that the sale could net RM3bil. In the event it did not, the airline would try to rent out the floors it occupied. The first phase was scheduled to occur from January to March of that year, with the chairperson, executive director, managing director, company secretary, corporate communication officer, and finance communication officer moving to the Subang facility. In June 2006, Phase II was planned as a move for the distribution, marketing, and sales divisions of the company, to Administration Block Three. [31]

. It has also restructured itself by spinning-off operational units as fully owned subsidiaries to maintain its core business as a passenger airline. In 2013, Malaysia Airlines has 28 subsidiaries, with 25 of them fully owned by Malaysia Airlines. [40]

Malaysia Airlines experienced a RM1.25 billion loss in FY2005. Since then, the Business Turnaround Plan was introduced to revive the airline, in the year 2006. At the end of the airline's turnaround program, in financial year 2007, Malaysia Airlines gained RM851 million net profit: a swing of RM987 million compared to RM134 million in losses in FY2006, marking the national carrier’s highest-ever profit in its 60-year history. The achievement was recognised as the world’s best airline-turnaround story in 2007, with Malaysia Airlines being awarded the Phoenix award by Penton Media's  Air Transport World: the leading monthly magazine covering the global airline industry.

 the CEO of Malaysia Airlines rejected the idea of using MH's network or certain other features as its new branding strategy.
