Sabah domestic flights to be handled by MAS again

For years MAS had been complaining that domestic flights within East Malaysia (Sarawak & Sabah) are causing her to suffer a huge loss. Then she manages to pass the burden of running these operations to the privately owned Air Asia which has stunning records of reaping huge profits in recent years. Air Asia runs the E. Malaysia operations through her subsidiary,Federal Air Express (FAX). But Air Asia has bitten off a piece more than she can chew this time.She does not have enough aircrafts to support the operations, if any aircraft experiences a technical problem, all the subsequent schedules will be upset because she does not have back up aircrafts for such incidences. Therefore delays and cancellations are the norm of the day. FAX has no choice but to call it quit. MAS has to take it back, just to fullfill her obligation (as a national carrier) to service the rakyat. The operations in E. Malaysia will be handled through MAS Wings, a newly formed subsidiary of MAS. Best of lucks,MAS, hope your wings woun't be clipped this time.
