Malaysia Airlines will invest RM700 million (US$184 million) to upgrade 32 Boeing aircraft in a bid to become more competitive, reports said Saturday.

The upgrade of the 17 Boeing B747-400 and 15 B777-200 aircraft, used in medium- and long-haul flights, will lead to a major facelift for the first and business class cabins and improvements in in-flight entertainment, the Star said.
