MYAIRLINE Sdn Bhd, which suspended its operations today, said it was “exploring all avenues to reactivate its operations and fly the skies again”.

The low-cost airline said it would “continue to issue further updates when they are available”.

“We respectfully ask for patience from all stakeholders while we evaluate all options.

“We acknowledge the anger and frustration faced by our passengers and all affected parties, and MYAirline unequivocally admits its responsibility for this fiasco caused by our abrupt notice,” it said in a statement.

The airline said it “humbly apologise(s) to all passengers, the Transport Ministry, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), Airports of Thailand, the Malaysian Aviation Commission, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand and all affected parties for this turn of events”.

“Due to the deep financial constraints we are facing, we are unable to offer the affected passengers at the airports any immediate service recovery option.

“We would like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to AirAsia, Batik Air and Malaysian Airlines Group, as well as to MAHB for assisting affected passengers in the meantime,” it said.

Earlier, MYAirline issued a statement saying it made the “extremely painful decision” due to financial pressures that forced it to suspend operations, pending shareholder restructuring and the airline’s recapitalisation. – Bernama, October 12, 2023.
