Boeing Closes In On Malaysia Airlines' 787 Order To Replace Leased Airbus A350s

Malaysia Airlines (MH) is nearing completion of an order to acquire Boeing aircraft, specifically intended to replace its existing fleet of leased Airbus A350s. The airline’s decision follows a near ten-year absence of operating Boeing widebodies, stemming from the retirement of their 777-200ER models. This strategic shift reflects MH's ongoing efforts to bolster its long-haul passenger capacity and enhance operational reliability. Replacing the leased Airbus A350s with new Boeing aircraft will provide Malaysia Airlines with greater control over its network operations. Ultimately, this move aims to solidify MH’s position as a leading international carrier.
