Things are really not as rosy as it used to be for Malaysia Airlines. It’s so sad that the airline is now a shadow of itself after the disappearance of MH370 in March, and the downing of MH17 over Ukraine in July. The airline is rumoured to be ready to replace its chief executive as part of a major overhaul.
According to UK Mail, a photo posted on Twitter, claiming to show a Malaysia Airlines flight from Australia shows rows and rows of empty seats, with just three passengers visible. Another showed a young family enjoying the whole plane to themselves. See the pics below…
The airlines confirmed in a statement that, “Following the MH17 incident, there was a spike in crew resignations but the number has now decreased to acceptable and routinely expected levels. Many cited ‘family pressure’ as the reason for their resignation due to the MH17 and MH370 tragedies.”
In a bid to boost bookings, Malaysia Airlines has nearly doubled the commission for travel agents in Australia from 6 per cent to 11 per cent for flights.
