Johari: Govt and MAS exploring autonomous airline for state

KUCHING: Discussions are under way between the state government and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) for its subsidiary MASwings to become autonomous to be able to expand its flight routes.

Housing and Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said since MAS was also restruc- turing itself, he said the state government proposed the nation’s longest serving airline to maintain the same structure for Sarawak and Sabah, but to have autonomous management.
