1.1 History of Malaysia Airlines
A joint initiative of the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, the Straits Steamship
of Singapore and Imperial Airways led to a proposal to the government of the
Colonial Straits Settlement to run an air service between Penang and Singapore,
resulting in the incorporation of Malayan Airways Limited (MAL), on the 12th of
October, 1937.
The 1960s was a significant decade; as the country that known as Malaysia
was formed in 1963 (incorporating Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak.
Malaysian Airlines Limited not long after, welcomed Borneo Airways Limited into its
family.
There are changes a couple of years later, it is due to the split-up of
Singapore from Malaysia, but the airline continued to service in both countries as a
bi-national airline, and renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA). As the airline
continued to grow, with the contribution of both countries’ governments (which
acquired joint majority of the airline in 1966), more international routes were
expanded .
In 1970, the defining moment of the airlines as we know it today. In the early
decade 1971 to be exact both the Malaysia and Singapore governments agreed
to set up separate airlines. Malaysians Airways Limited was formed. One year later,

MAS became Malaysian Airline System (MAS). MAS were officially launched on 30
September 1972, the airline took to the skies as truly Malaysia’s very own national
carrier on 31 September three months ahead of schedule. Great things were
beckoning MAS in the 80s and logistical innovations ensured that the airline was on
the right track.
In February 1980, we implemented a computerised cargo retrieval system and
a year later, MAS RM2.6million maintenance hangar was officially opened.
The most significant moment for the airlines and one that help build our future
success was the 1985 privatization of the airline, the first Malaysian government
agency to do so. In November that same year, the now-private entity MAS was listed
on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. In 1987, we shortened our name to Malaysia
Airlines.
In 1991, the airline received the 1990 Asian Institute of Management/World
Executive’s Digest Management Award in the General Management category. That
same year, we accepted the TDC 1990 Tourism Gold Award and one year later, our
fourth Boeing award for dispatch reliability of our B737 fleet.
Throughout the 90s, we consistently came out tops in several airline surveys
conducted by such renowned organizations as In-flight Research Services (IRS), UK.
Skytrak UK first awarded us World’s Best Cabin Crew in 2001 and to date
the most recent award just a few months ago we have won this coveted title 6
times. Skytrax also ranked us a 5-star airline in 2005, a prestige we have continued
to uphold.
The new millennium saw MAS achieving their dream of being an
internationally recognised and respected airline by the 21st century. Besides the
numerous awards (over 100 in the last decade alone), we continued to be a
dominant force in the Asian and global airline industry.
In December 2005, Dato’ Sri Idris Jala joined Malaysian Airlines as our
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer. Dato Seri Idris introduced the airlines’
three-year Business Turnaround Plan in 2006, which restructuring of domestic
andinternational flight routes. These moves would prove successful; in just two years,
