Malaysia Airlines (MAS) reiterated that the national carrier will continue its business as usual and not shut down its operations on May 28 as rumoured by an unofficial source.

Chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said MAS would maintain its commitment to remain competitive, with greater marketing push.

“For example, the current Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair (MATF) allows travellers to purchase our tickets at 50 percent off for immediate travel until Dec 31, 2014,” he said in a statement today.
