Fewer Malaysia Airlines flights just temporary to fix tech woes, more planes coming, says transport minister

SEPANG, — Malaysia Airlines Berhad’s move to cut the frequency of its flights to select destinations is a temporary measure aimed at addressing technical problems, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.

He gave an assurance that the issue will be resolved soon.

“They did not do it on a whim, as many technical issues were plaguing MAS, that they were forced to take this step by reducing flights for the next few months,” he told a news conference at Terminal Two of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport this afternoon.

MAS is the old acronym for Malaysia Airlines before March 2014; it has since switched to MAB.
