This will continue to be the airline's strength, as it builds on its experience, and with the arrival of the B-777s, it will catapult into the forefront of aviation technology.
As Malaysia's national carrier, the airline has grown in tandem with the aspirations of the country.

The Airline is poised to be a global carrier, with its chairman Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli providing the vision.
