MAS vs AIRASIA

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has made a call for MAS and AirAsia to come together strategically even if they were two competing airlines especially in the area of low cost and average air fares.

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Air Asia must come up with a win-win formula to start on a strategic collaboration that will enable both the airline companies to complete at the global market.

Responding to a question from the media on the possibility of such a cooperation between MAS and AirAsia, Muhyiddin said it was up to the management and chief executive officers of both the companies to hold their discussions.

The industry feels that the two airlines are doing fine in their respective areas of operation. They offer completely different products. One a low cost carrier and the other a premium outfit. At the end of the day it is the customer who will make the choice and it is not for the government or any body on this earth how they both should move forward.
