KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia Airlines' winding road back from twin tragedies eight years ago has taken another turn, as higher fuel costs in the wake of Russia's war on Ukraine scuttle a quicker-than-expected return to profitability, the carrier's top executive told Nikkei Asia.
But Executive Director and CEO Izham Ismail, in a recent interview, touted major financial improvements that have put the airline in its strongest position in years, changes that promise to end the cash drain on Malaysia's public purse.
