Malaysia Airlines (MH) is increasing its weekly frequencies to several ASEAN destinations as well as to Beijing (PEK) and Taipei from March 25.
The changes are in line with MH’s business plan rolled out in December to streamline operations, focus on growth and cut losses (ATW Daily News, Dec. 12, 2011).
MH’s 2X-daily Kuala Lumpur (KL)-Manila service will increase to 3X daily with the addition of another daily 737-800 flight. The KL-Phnom Penh return route will increase from 9X-weekly frequencies to 11 and then to 15X-weekly, effective May 1.
MH is also adding two flights between KL and Jakarta, resulting in 42 weekly services. Connectivity between KL and Medan will double to 2X daily. The carrier is adding a flight to Bangkok on Sunday, increasing to 4X daily, and is doubling its Boeing 777-200ER operations to PEK to 2X-daily. It will increase its 3X-weekly KL–Taipei–Los Angeles (LAX) service to 4X weekly and change the routing to KL-Tokyo Narita-LAX.
MH will also increase frequency on the Kuala Lumpur–Taipei route to daily, with the addition of thrice-weekly 737-800 flights.
The carrier’s return-to-profitability plan targets a net loss of MYR165 million ($55 million) in 2012, which would be a substantial improvement over MH's net loss of MYR527 million for just the 2011 second quarter (ATW Daily News, Aug. 24), and estimates a potential 2013 net profit of MYR1.18 billion-MYR1.51 billion.
