MALAYSIA Airlines is expected To Be Privat


MALAYSIA Airlines is expected To Be Privat

MALAYSIA Airlines is expected to remain a viable player in the Australian market after its major government shareholder yesterday moved to delist it, with a $460m bid to throw off the yoke of two Crippling Crashes.

 The predicted move to underpin the troubled Airline will see the Qantas oneworld partner continue to service Australia, possibly under another name.

 Malaysia Airlines, which has lost 4.57 billion ringgit ($1.53 billion) since the start of 2011 and was loaded with debt, has been a long-term player in Australia and held 4.3 per cent of the international market in the 12 months to May.

 Prior to the disappearance of MH370 and the missile attack on MH17, it had been well regarded by the travel industry and passengers, but the loss of the two Boeing 777s saw many travellers cancel their bookings.

 Flight Centre spokesman Hadyn Long said yesterday that most Malaysia customers had stuck with the airline, but forward orders slowed in the days after MH17.
But there has since been a gradual recovery, he said.
Demand is not back to where it was 12 months ago, but we are certainly seeing improvement.

 Shares in the troubled Airline’s Parent company, Malaysian Airline System, were suspended yesterday as 69 per cent shareholder Khazanah Nasional ordered a major restructuring and said it would pay 0.27 sen for each of the outstanding shares, or a total of 1.38 billion ring git.

 The Transaction will see MAS delisted and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Khazanah as part of a comprehensive review and restructuring.

 The Malaysian government investment fund cited three years of net losses and 22.6 per cent fall in the value of MAS shares in the wake of the aircraft losses.
There had been suggestions from some quarters that the loss of MH17 was the final straw for the Kuala Lumpur based carrier, but experts had predicted the Malaysian government would not let it fail.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes. Petrol sniffing is not a new challenge to hit remote communities, but Aviation fuel is even more dangerous because it contains lead, local officials  aid. Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year. "Our kids are ending up in hospital by getting infected by chemicals, which is bad for them," one Aboriginal elder, John Gurrumgurrum Burarrwanga, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. #Aviation_English_News_ Readers_Positions  #Engli

To Avoid China Backlash, India Turns Down This Request From Australia China Backlash, India Turns Australiaand Japan Four officials from India, Australia and Japan told Reuters that India blocked the proposal and suggested that Canberra send officers to watch the exercises in the Bay of Bengal from the decks of the three participating countries' warships, instead.  Both the United States and Japan supported the idea of involving Australia, seeing it as a natural partner in the effort to balance China's growing might, the four officials said. But Delhi is worried that China will step up activities in the Indian Ocean where it is building infrastructure inIndia's anxiety about being encircled, according to Reuters' sources who remained unnamed.
