A report released in Australia namely The International airline Activity Report claims that there has been a 7.8 per cent increase in passengers in February 2015 by Malaysian Airlines. This indicates that the earlier comment suggesting they would be bankrupt within a month is unlikely. My earlier remark of expectation of restructure, reorganisation and reputation was a wish of mine that appears to be unfolding.
I am thinking that there is a very small market for their A388s. I guess it is possible Emirates will buy them and cancel some of their outstanding orders with AB. My guess is they could get them cheap and the oldest ones are 2012 so not ragged out!
A drastic decision and action. Malaysian Airlines has experienced and suffered two separate incidents with aircraft losses. Apparently this has lead to a fall in patronage. My expectations are that MAS will restructure, reorganise and build their reputation again. My expectation is also my respected wish....

Any restructuring endeavours will only bear the proverbial fruit, if only people of caliber were hired. Just look at the buffoons who were entrusted by the greedy and corrupt politicians to manage the airlines thus far.
I would suggest a major shake up with current contracts with suppliers reviewed throughly.

Does this mean routes to London and Paris are cancelled. The airline's 6 A380s where flying these routes twice daily and they are the biggest most important flights. This seems a drastic decision as I am not sure that MH have any replacement aircraft. I agree that some of the 777-200ERs and 747-400Fs are quite old but the A380 is the main aircraft in the fleet. And they lost 2 777s last year so I don't see why they would sell anymore. It will be a massive shame to see all these aircraft go.
Agree it looks like they are trying improve their liquidity in a hurry.....it wouldn't surprise me if they are bankrupt within a month.
Is it true they are replacing their A380s with 787s
