System. The airline began in 1947 as Malayan Airways, being renamed Malaysian Airways after Malaysia

gained independence. After that, it changed its name once more toMalaysia-Singapore Airlinesand thereafter

ceased its operation. It was then divided into Malaysia Airlines andSingapore Airlines.

[edit]Malayan Aviation History

Scheduled air passenger and mail services in Malaya commenced in 1937 when Wearne's Air Service (WAS)

commenced operating services between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Wearne's Air Service was

started by two Australian brothers, Theodore and Charles Wearnes.[6]

The service commenced as a thrice

weekly flight between Singapore and Penang The first flight, using an 8-seaterde Havilland DH.89A Dragon

Rapidetook place on 28 June 1937[7]

This inaugural flight departed Singapore from the then brand-new Kallang

Airport which had just opened earlier in the same month on 12 June[8]

Later a second D.H.89A enabled the

expansion to daily services as well as the addition of Ipoh as a destination. The WAS services ceased with the

onset of theSecond World WarJapanese occupation of Malaya and Singapore.

[edit]Beginnings

An initiative[9]

by the Alfred Holt's Liverpool-basedOcean Steamship Company, in partnership with the Straits

1937, Malayan Airways Limited (MAL). But the first paying passengers could be welcomed on board only some

10 years later. After the war, MAL was restructured to include just the partnership of Straits Steamship and

Ocean Steamship. The airline's first flight was a charter flight from theBritishStraits

SettlementofSingaporetoKuala Lumpur, on 2 April 1947, using anAirspeed Consultwin-engined

aircraft.[11]This inaugural flight on the "Raja Udang",[12]with only five passengers, departed Singapore's Kallang

Airport and was bound for Kuala Lumpur's Sungai Besi Airport. Weekly scheduled flights quickly followed from

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang from 1 May 1947 with the same aircraft type.[13]

The airline

continued to expand during the rest of the 1940s and 1950s, as other BritishCommonwealthairlines (such

asBOACandQantas Empire Airways) provided technical assistance, as well as assistance in joiningIATA. By

1955, Malayan Airways' fleet had grown to include a large number ofDouglas DC-3s, and wentpublicin 1957.

Other aircraft operated in the first two decades included theDouglas DC-4 Skymaster, theVickers Viscount,

theLockheed L-1049 Super Constellation, theBristol Britannia, theDe Havilland Comet 4and theFokker F27.

Over the next few years, the airline expanded rapidly, boosted by post-war air travel demand when flyingbecame more than a privilege for the rich and famous. By 12 April 1960, the airline was operating DouglasDC-

3s,Super Constellationsand Viscounts on new routes fromSingaporetoHong Kong, and fromKuala

LumpurtoBangkokviaPenang. Flights were also introduced from Singapore to cities in theBorneo Territories,

includingBrunei,Jesselton(nowKota Kinabalu),Kuching,SandakanandSibu.

In 1957, the airline became a state-run stock corporation. With the delivery of an 84-seat Bristol Britanniain

1960, the airline launched its first long-haul international flight, toHong Kong.

WhenMalaya,Singapore,SabahandSarawakformed theFederation of Malaysiain 1963, the airline's name

was changed, from "Malayan Airways" to "Malaysian Airlines" (though still abbreviated to MAS). MAS also took

overBorneo Airways. In 1966, following Singapore's separation from the federation, the airline's name was

changed again, toMalaysia-Singapore Airlines(MSA). The next year saw a rapid expansion in the airline's fleet

and routes, including the purchase of MSA's firstBoeingaircraft: theBoeing 707s, as well as completion of a

new high-rise headquarters in Singapore.Boeing 737swere added to the fleet soon afterward.

The differing needs of the two shareholders, however, led to the break-up of the airline just 6 years later.

TheSingaporegovernment preferred to develop the airline's international routes, while the Malaysian

government had no choice but to develop the domestic network first before going regional and eventually

international. MSA ceased operations in 1972, with its assets split between two new airlines; Malaysian Airline

System (MAS)(now Malaysia Airlines), andSingapore Airlines.

With the Singapore government determined to develop Singapore Airlines' international routes, it took the

entire fleet of sevenBoeing 707sand fiveBoeing 737s, which would allow it to continue servicing its regional

and long-haul international routes. Since most of MSA's international routes were flown out of Singapore, the

majority of international routes were in the hands of Singapore Airlines. In addition, MSA's headquarters, which

was located in Singapore, became the headquarters of that airline.

The initials MSA were well regarded as an airline icon, and both carriers tried to use them. Malaysian went for

MAS by just transposing the last two letters and choosing the name Malaysian Airline System, while Singapore

originally proposed the name Mercury Singapore Airlines to keep the MSA initials, but changed its mind and

went for SIA instead. Acronyms for airline names later became less fashionable, and both carriers then moved

on to their descriptive names.

Malaysian Airline System took all domestic routes within Malaysia and international routes out of that country,

as well as the remaining fleet ofFokker F27's. It began flights on 1 October 1972 and soon expanded, including

introducing flights from Kuala Lumpur to London.

In that year MAS operated flights to more than 34 regional destinations and six international services. In 1976,

after receiving itsDC-10-30aircraft, MAS scheduled flights reached Europe, with initial flights from Kuala

Lumpur toAmsterdam,ParisandFrankfurt.

An economic boom in Malaysia during the 1980s spurred growth at Malaysia Airlines. By the end of the decade

MAS was flying to 47 overseas destinations, including eight European destinations, seven Oceania

destinations, and United States destinations ofLos AngelesandHonolulu. In 1993 Malaysia Airlines

reachedSouth Americawhen the airline received itsBoeing 747aircraft. MAS became the first airline

inSoutheast Asiato serve South America via its flights toBuenos Aires,Argentina. Malaysia Airlines also flew

to Mexico City between 1994 and 1998 with fifth-freedom rights to carry passengers betweenMexico

CityandLos Angeles, en route to Kuala Lumpur.

[edit]First period of unprofitability

Prior to theAsian Financial Crisisin 1997, the airline suffered losses of as much as RM 260 million after

earning a record-breaking RM319 million profit in the financial year 1996/1997. The airline then introduced

measures to bring its P&L back into the black. For the financial year 1999/2000, the airline cut its losses from

RM700 million in the year 1998/1999 to RM259 million. However, the airline plunged into further losses in the

following year, amounting to RM417 million in FY2000/2001 and RM836 million in FY2001/2002. With these

losses, the airline cut many unprofitable routes, such

asBrussels,Darwin,Honolulu,Madrid,MunichandVancouver.

The airline recovered from its losses in the year 2002/2003. It achieved its then-highest profit in the year

2003/2004, totaling RM461 million.

In the year 2005, Malaysia Airlines reported a loss of RM1.3 billion. Revenue for the financial period was up by

10.3% or RM826.9 million, compared to the same period for 2004, driven by a 10.2% growth in passenger

traffic. International passenger revenue increased by RM457.6 million or 8.4%, to RM5.9 billion, while cargo

revenue decreased by RM64.1 million or 4.2%, to RM1.5 billion. Costs increased by 28.8% or RM2.3 billion,

amounting to a total of RM 10.3 billion, primarily due to escalating fuel prices. Other cost increases included

staff costs, handling andlanding fees, aircraft maintenance and overhaul charges, Widespread Assets

Unbundling (WAU) charges and leases.[14]

The Government of Malaysia appointedIdris Jalaas the new CEO on 1 December 2005, to execute changes in

operations and corporate culture. Several weaknesses in airline operations were identified as the causes of the

RM1.3 billion loss. These included esclating fuel prices, increased maintenance and repair costs, staff costs,

low yield per available seat kilometre ("ASK") via pooryield managementand an inefficient route network.

Under the leadership of Idris Jala, Malaysia Airlines launched its Business Turnaround Plan in 2006, developed

using theGovernment-linked company(GLC) Transformation Manual as a guide.

The most substantial factor in the losses wasfuelcosts. For the period, the total fuel cost was RM3.5 billion,

representing a 40.4% increase compared to the same period in 2004. Total fuel cost increases comprised

RM977.8 million due to higher fuel prices and another RM157.6[14]

million due to additional consumption. In the

third quarter, fuel costs were RM1.26 billion, compared to the RM1.01 billion in the corresponding period in

2004, resulting in a 24.6% increase or RM249.3 million.[14]

Another factor for the losses was poor revenue management. MAS substantially lagged its peers on yield.

Some of this gap was due to differences in traffic mix,[15]

with less business traffic to and from Malaysia than to

and from Singapore, but much of it was due to weaknesses in pricing and revenue management, sales and

distribution, brand presence in foreign markets, and alliance base. Malaysia Airlines has one of the lowest

labour costs per ASK at USD0.41, compared to other airlines such asCathay PacificandSingapore Airlinesat

USD0.59 and USD0.60[15]

respectively. However, despite low labour costs, the ratio of ASK revenue to this cost

was, at 2.8, much lower than Singapore Airlines, where the ratio is 5.0, and slightly higher thanThai

International Airways[15]

There are other factors listed in the Business Turnaround Plan of Malaysia Airlines, all leading to the net loss of

RM1.3 billion in the year 2005.

[edit]Recovery from unprofitability

Under the various initiatives, launched together with the Business Turnaround Plan, Malaysia Airlines switched

from losses to profitability between FY2006 and FY2007. When the Business Turnaround Plan came to an end,

the airline posted a record profit of 851 million Ringgit (265 million dollars) in 2007, ending a series of losses

since 2005. The result exceeded the target of RM300 Million by 184%.[16]

Route rationalising was one of the major contributors to the airline's return to profitability. Malaysia Airlines

pared its domestic routes from 114 to 22, and also cancelled virtually all unprofitable international routes (such

as Kuala Lumpur-Manchester, that required a 140% load factor to break even). Apart from that, Malaysia

Airlines also rescheduled all of its flight timings and changed its operations model frompoint to pointservices

tohub and spokeservices.

Additionally, the airline started Project Omega and Project Alpha to improve the company's network and

revenue management. Emphasis has been placed on six areas: pricing, revenue management, network

scheduling, opening storefronts, low season strategy and distribution management.

Malaysia Airlines has been involved in discussions for new aircraft purchases, using its cash surplus of 5.3

billion Ringgit to eventually purchase 55narrow-body aircraftand 55wide-body aircraft.[17]

Despite these achievements, critics continue to deride the carrier for lagging behind its competitors in the

region. This notion is not helped by the fact Malaysia Airlines has not made substantial investments incustomer service, especially compared to Thai Airways or Singapore Airlines.

On 22 December 2009, Malaysia Airlines announced the purchase of 15 newAirbus A330aircraft, with options

for another 10. Expected to be delivered between 2011 and 2016, they are intended to operate on medium-

haul routes to eastern Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline's plans are to runAirbus A380planes,

which will be introduced into service in 2012, on long-haul routes, A330s on medium-haul routes, andBoeing

737aircraft on short-haul routes. Under this plan, it is unclear where Boeing wide-bodies currently in the fleet

would fall.[18]

[edit]Third unprofitabilityIn 2011, Malaysia Airlines recorded a stunning net loss of RM2.52 billion due to rising fuel costs and

mismanagement which was the largest in its company history. The company ceased operations

toSurabaya,Karachi,Dubai,DammamandJohannesburgin January, and ceased flights toCape

Town,Buenos Airesas well asRomein February.

[edit]Business Turnaround Plan

On 28 February 2013, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, the group Chief Executive Officer, reported a net profit of

RM51.4mil for the fourth quarter, reversing the net loss of RM1.3bil a year earlier. MAS' improved financial

performance last year was mainly attributable to its route rationalization programme, which saw an overall 6%

reduction in available seat kilometre (ASK). This was matched by a marginal 2% reduction in revenue to

RM13.76bil in 2012 and seat factor holding at 74.7%. The reduced ASK also helped MAS register a

corresponding 13% decrease in expenditure.[19]

Malaysia Airlines is listed on the stock exchange ofBursa Malaysiaunder the name Malaysian Airline System

Berhad. The airline suffered high losses over the years due to poor management and fuel price increases. As

a result of financial restructuring (Widespread Asset Unbundling)[14]

in 2002, led by BinaFikir, Penerbangan

Malaysia Berhad became its parent company, incorporated in 2002, in exchange for assuming the airline's

long-term liabilities. On the operational side, the Government of Malaysia appointed Idris Jala as the new CEO

on 1 December 2005, to execute changes in operations and corporate culture. Under his leadership, Malaysia

Airlines unveiled its Business Turnaround Plan (BTP) in February, 2006, which identified low yield, an

inefficient network and low productivity (overstaffing). The airline headquarters building in downtown Kuala

Lumpur was sold.[citation needed]

The new corporate headquarters is now at the MAS Complex on the grounds

ofSultan Abdul Aziz Shah AirportinSubang, Selangor.[20]

State Financial Secretary Sarawak (2.71%), foreign shareholders (5.13%)[21]

and Warisan Harta Sabah (2.4%).

It has 19,546 employees (as of March, 2007).[22]

The Malaysian government reported that the government's

holding company, Khazanah Nasional is keen on selling shares of Malaysia Airlines to remain globally

competitive in an industry which is fast-consolidating.[4]
