Etihad, Qatar Airways seen as potential partners for Malaysia Airlines
(MENAFN) According to Australia-based aviation market analyst Center for Aviation, the troubled Malaysia Airlines, which is currently undergoing a massive restructuring, could include expanded or even equity partnerships with Middle East Airlines, mainly either with Qatar Airways or Etihad, Gulf Times reported.
The Malaysia Airlines' current restructuring plan includes the layoff of at least 6.000 staff of its almost 20.000 employees and cutting unprofitable routes as part of USD1.9 billion overhaul.
Currently, Malaysia Airlines has a deal with Qatar Airways regarding the Kuala Lumpur-Doha route, while having a similar deal with Etihad regarding the route from Kuala Lumpur to Abu Dhabi and from there to three other destination in the Gulf.
If a deal was made with either Middle Eastern carriers, they could benefit from a close partnership with the Malaysian national airline, as they would be able to step in on Middle East-Southeast Asian routes after Malaysian Airlines cuts down its long-haul connections to the Gulf region and beyond, including European cities.
