Malaysia Airlines will cancel its Kuala Lumpur-Kochi route as part of a major cost-cutting programme.
In the latest stage of the airline’s 12-point Recovery Plan, which was outlined last year and also includes thousands of job losses, MAS has confirmed that it will suspend its flights to the Kerala city on 1 June 2015. Flights to Frankfurt, Kunming and Krabi will also be cancelled.
MAS said the route cuts form part of its “strategy to be more regionally-focused, with a strong global connectivity through its oneworld alliance and partners”.
“The group is currently going through its most comprehensive restructuring,” said outgoing CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya. “Our challenge is to ensure MAS operates and utilises its fleet at an optimum level, as well as to be able to maximise revenue on every route it flies.
