IATA: Malaysia Airlines to join Oneworld


Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has announced its intention to join Oneworld and expects to start flying as part of the alliance in late 2012.
"With the world airline industry increasingly focused on alliances, we have carried out careful analysis of the options now available to Malaysia Airlines. The time is clearly right for our company to join one of the global service groups and Oneworld is clearly the best option for us," said MAS' CEO Azmil Zahruddin.
Qantas Airways is sponsoring MAS' entry into the alliance.
"Oneworld already features four of the best airlines in Asia-Pacific, including member elect Kingfisher Airlines. Adding another leading Asian carrier, in Malaysia Airlines, will greatly enhance Oneworld's offering throughout the world's fast growing region for air travel demand," said Oneworld CEO Bruce Ashby.
MAS, which already codeshares with Oneworld members Cathay Pacific Airways and Royal Jordanian, will develop links with more members as it prepares to join the alliance.

Grande colpo per gli inglesi...... Speravo entrasse nell'alleanza delle stelle ma invece con CX e Quantas fanno "paura" li ad est........

MAS' first A380 enters final assembly

Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) first Airbus A380 has entered the airframer's final assembly line in Toulouse.
The superjumbo jet, which entered the line on 7 June, will have its front, central and aft fuselage sections, wings and horizontal and vertical tails assembled at the first stage.
This will be followed by the installation of engines and tests on the aircraft's electric and hydraulic systems, mobile parts and landing gears. Final ground tests and first engine tests will take place after that, before the aircraft is flown to Hamburg for cabin completion and painting.
MAS, which has six A380s on order, has said it is due to receive its first in April 2012. The airline is likely to deploy the superjumbo jet to London, followed by Sydney and Melbourne.
