KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), which operates Malaysia Airlines, has reduced its flight capacity by 20% through December in the wake of multiple operational problems, dealing a blow to the airline, which had just emerged from a long-term slump.
The flight reductions, which started this month, affect the group's domestic and 13 international routes, including key markets such as China, Japan and Australia. Routes like Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo have been reduced from seven to three weekly flights, and Kuala Lumpur to Sydney now operates only five flights per week.
