MALAYSIA AIRLINES EXPECTS TO PERFORM DESPITE TOUGH TIMES

CYBERJAYA (Malaysia), July 28 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines expects to
continue to "stand" despite the current tough times and competition in the
airline industry, said its chairman, Dr Munir Majid.

He said the national carrier was doing relatively well despite the global
economic situation.

Being categorised by the Aviation Week magazine as among the top three
airlines in terms of financial strength and capability to weather the storm,
shows that the national carrier is able to do relatively well compared with
other airlines, Munir said.

"Our focus is to look into our customers' demand. Our vision is to offer
five-star services at affordable prices," Munir said after the launch of the
"Tun Abdul Razak menu" Monday.

The menu, featuring the favourites of the country's second prime minister,
the late Abdul Razak, is expected to be served on MAS flights from August 1-
September 30, this year.

It will be served in the business class both for domestic as well as
regional flights (Kuala Lumpur to Indonesia, Manila, Bangkok, Yangon, Hanoi and
Singapore).

"Passengers across all classes on flights operating the London route out of
Kuala Lumpur will also be served this menu," he said.

Passengers can look forward to a menu which features both eastern and
western dishes which were the favourites of Razak.

Munir said Malaysia Airlines will continue to enhance its inflight meal
services, introducing new and exciting dishes in line with its Business
Transformation Plan (BTP2) and improving its services to customers.
