Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) is cutting flights until the end of the year to address supply chain issues, manpower shortages, and technical problems, following disruptions last week across Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and Amal by Malaysia Airlines.
The disruptions included emergency landings due to engine issues, prompting MAG to take immediate steps to tackle operational difficulties and address root causes.
Due to delayed aircraft deliveries, MAG will temporarily reduce its network until December 2024 to focus on corrective measures for long-term fleet reliability and operational robustness.
Changes across Malaysian’s international network include flight frequency reductions on various routes from Kuala Lumpur, with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia auditing MAG to investigate delays, cancellations, and operational issues. Transport Minister Anthony Loke expressed confidence in MAG’s professionalism and commitment to passenger safety.
