PETALING JAYA: Newly appointed Malaysia Airlines managing director and group CEO Christoph Mueller has described as premature the recent speculation on the airline offering some of its fleet for sale or lease.

However, Mueller, who assumed the role on May 1 and was put in charge by the company’s sole shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, to lead the overall restructuring of MAS, said exploring fleet options to enhance viability of long-haul sectors was one of the areas being looked into.
