Emirates says ex-Malaysia Air chief Mueller joins in September

“We still have a long way to go but existing and new partners believe in our success and Malaysia Airlines has been set on a path towards reclaiming its position as one of the world’s leading airlines,” said MAS group chief executive officer Cristoph Mueller.

At Aer Lingus, Mueller streamlined short-haul operations, resolved pension disputes and transformed the carrier’s Dublin base into a trans-Atlantic hub. That strategy prompted Willie Walsh, CEO of British Airways owner IAG SA, to make a successful takeover bid. - Bloomberg
