The Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) is reducing the number of flights to ensure stable operations.
This comes as a result of operational disruptions occurring within its subsidiaries Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and Amal, citing constraints in the supply chain, personnel challenges, and other external factors. The group also mentioned the delayed delivery of the new Boeing 737-8 aircraft as a contributing factor, which has resulted in a shortage of aircraft available for operation.
The chain reaction of flight delays has led to prolonged effects, ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the availability of reserve aircraft. Consequently, the network will temporarily shrink until December.
Malaysia Aviation Group stated, “We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to our customers due to flight cancellations. Maintaining our aircraft in optimal condition for safe and efficient operations and minimizing the potential for disruptions is our top priority. We are committed to strengthening our operations and positioning the company for long-term success and growth. We appreciate our customers’ understanding and support as we tackle these challenges.”
