Malaysia Airlines Berhad, MAB, remains cautiously optimistic in yielding more positive results as well as improved performance despite various challenges expected in 2018.

MAB Chief Executive Officer, Captain Izham Ismail said, besides the unstable global macro-economic, unpredictable fuel cost and foreign exchange, the entry of new players will also bring challenges to the airline.

MAB has recorded positive progress in line with the goals set in the restructuring and recovery plans and will continue to concentrate on initiatives as identified in the plans.

He was met after welcoming the airline's second Airbus 350 XWB aircraft with the special “Negaraku” livery which arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, KLIA, on Saturday. 

The new aircraft has 286 seats, with a three-class configuration: four seats in First Class, 35 in Business Class and 247 in Economy Class.
