Malaysia Airlines Bhd is considering ordering 25 single-aisle jets, probably Boeing Co. 737 Max on top of an existing firm order for 25 of those planes, according to Chief Executive Officer Izham Ismail.

“Our future network requires 50 narrowbody aeroplanes, so we have still got space for 25,” Izham said on the sidelines of an annual meeting of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines in Bangkok. “We have to make some decision by next year.”
