PETALING JAYA: Peter Bellew, the Irish chief executive officer of Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAS), has denied that he is leaving the airline because of too much interference from Khazanah Nasional Bhd and the Government.

He said he is leaving due to a call to serve Ireland’s best known airline, Ryanair.
