Malaysia Airlines to lease two new aircraft


“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.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAS) is leasing two new Airbus A350-900s to complement the existing four on order, as it seeks to reach a critical fleet size, says chief executive officer (CEO) Christoph Mueller.

He said in a statement yesterday that the national carrier had exercised the lease option for a 12-year lease agreement for the additional two new aircraft with Air Lease Corp (ALC), which will be delivered in 2018.
