KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -- Merging money-losing state carrier Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) with budget airline AirAsia Group is one of the options to "save" them as the COVID-19 crisis batters the industry, Malaysia's second-most senior minister told Reuters on Friday.
The pandemic that has killed at least 143,744 people around the world has led to lockdowns in many countries, brought air travel to a virtual halt and left airlines battling for survival.
