Malaysia Airlines is temporarily reducing its operations until December 2024 to address supply chain and technical issues, following a string of flight delays and cancellations as well as recent aircraft diversions and emergency landings.
“Affected passengers will receive an email notification regarding their flight cancellations, followed by an updated itinerary,” the airline says in a new travel advisory. “Passengers may also make immediate changes to their bookings based on their preferred alternatives using the ‘My Booking’ function on our website or by reaching out to Live Chat support.”
Part of the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), Malaysia Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary Firefly have faced “weather, technical and manpower challenges, supply chain constraints, and the ongoing normalisation of global aviation operations post-pandemic,” MAG managing director Izham Ismail explained on 16 August amid flight disruptions. He said MAG has also been affected by the delayed delivery of its Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft this year.
