AIRLINE TO INTRODUCE SATAY IN ECONOMY CLASS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 (Bernama) -- Beginning this month, Malaysia Airlines
passengers travelling on Economy Class to domestic and selected Asean countries
will be able to enjoy satay, typically served only in the national carrier's
Business and First Class cabins.

Packaged in a meal box, passengers will enjoy a choice of beef or chicken
satay skewers and peanut sauce, served with kampong fried rice and accompanied
by creme brulee and premium chocolate.

"Malaysia Airlines is proud to be able to bring a taste of Malaysia to the
world through our signature satay dish, which has been recognised to be
world-class," said its Inflight Services General Manager Hayati Ali in a
statement here Monday.

She said satay, the national carrier's award winning signature dish, will be
served on domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching, Miri and Kota Kinabalu
and also on selected Asean flights out of Kuala Lumpur throughout this month.

In addition, Hayati said, passengers also will be thrilled to know that
sweet treats such as premium chocolate or ice cream will also be handed out as
giveaways during the school holidays from March 14 to 22.

"We are continuously innovating all aspects of our services and products in
our transformation journey to be a Five-Star Value Carrier in line with our
commitment to delivering the highest quality at affordable prices," she said.
