Malaysia Airlines

Malaysia Airlines, founded in 1947 as Malayan Airways alongside Singapore Airlines before splitting in 1972, is the flag carrier of Malaysia. Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the airline operates its primary hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, serving destinations across Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Australasia. Malaysia Airlines is a member of the oneworld alliance, having joined in 2013. The airline's fleet consists of Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, Airbus A330-900neo, Airbus A350-900, and Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The airline's cabin products include Business Class with lie-flat seats on wide-body aircraft, Business Class with recliner seats on narrow-body aircraft, and Economy Class. Malaysia Airlines is known for its Malaysian Hospitality service philosophy, featuring Malaysian cuisine crafted by celebrity chefs and cultural touches throughout the travel experience. The Enrich frequent flyer program offers earning and redemption across oneworld partners with multiple elite status tiers. The airline tragically lost two aircraft in 2014: Flight MH370, which disappeared over the Indian Ocean and has never been found, and Flight MH17, which was shot down over eastern Ukraine. These incidents led to a comprehensive restructuring under new management. Malaysia Airlines is wholly owned by Khazanah Nasional, the sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia. The airline operates its secondary hub at Kota Kinabalu International Airport in Malaysian Borneo, serving regional destinations in East Malaysia.
