KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) has not held any official discussions with the government on absorbing AirAsia Bhd’s domestic market share or taking over its routes.
“There’s no discussion about that,” MAG president and group chief executive officer Captain Nasaruddin A Bakar told reporters on the sidelines of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) 70th Assembly of Presidents (AP70) here today.
As the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines has a responsibility to ensure connectivity within the country and internationally, he said.
Captain Nasaruddin clarified that his reference to a level playing field concerned airport charges imposed on airlines using the same infrastructure, rather than financial assistance.
