Malaysian Air Speeds Boeing Exodus as A330 Revamp Appeals

Malaysian Airline System Bhd. will accelerate the exit of Boeing Co. wide-body jets from its fleet and look at ordering the upgraded A330 model announced by Airbus SAS yesterday, Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said.

The carrier’s nine remaining Boeing 747 jumbos are likely to be stood down by the end of November rather than in March as planned earlier, while its 777-200s will be gone within three years, Ahmad Jauhari said in an interview at the Farnborough air show.
