Default Malaysia Airlines to offload its A380 superjumbo fleet

According to CNN, it seems big is no longer best for disaster-hit Malaysia Airlines.

It's said to be offloading its entire fleet of A380 superjumbos, with all six of its A380s up for sale or lease.

Restructuring measures also include letting go of its two Boeing 747-400Fs and four Boeing 777-200ERs.

Pity, I like the A380.

Excellent. Just more justification for not using MAS.

I don't know why they don't pack up and let Air Asia do the intercontinental stuff, I suspect they'd be much better at it.

They used to. But weren't.
I remember flying Stansted to KL with Air Asia in 2009. Awful.

I guess this is not very good news for Airbus nor for KUL long-haul air fares.

With their current risk assessment protocols in place it's probably for the best.
