Possible success recipe for MAS

Prof Azmi Hassan, geostrategist at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: After the Government and people allowed the “sacrifice” of billions of ringgit to revive Malaysia Airlines (MAS) which began operations as a new company, Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB), on Sept 1, the national carrier’s fate not only depends on its new management but also on the sacrifices of the 14,000 staff it has retained, says an academic.

Prof Azmi Hassan, geostrategist at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s Perdana School, reminded the staff that Malaysians expected good returns from the investments into MAS’ restructuring and if the company were to fail again, there probably would not be another rescue attempt.
