KUALA LUMPUR: The capital-intensive nature of the airline business, especially with the current business conditions, makes it more difficult to resuscitate Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB).

"The airline industry is very tough; it is not easy. Almost all the major US airlines are in bankruptcy except for Delta,” said Khazanah Research Institute senior research advisor Professor Dr Jomo Kwame Sundaram.
