Kuala Lumpur: Financially troubled MYAirline has lost its entire fleet of 10 Airbus planes less than a month after suspending its operations, Business Times reported today, raising doubts over the budget carrier’s ability to fly again in future.

It is more expensive to lease today compared to a few years ago,” an unnamed industry insider was quoted as telling the business newspaper. Business Times named MYAirline eight lessors as SMBC Aviation Capital, AerCap Holdings NV, Avolon, Carlyle Aviation Partners, Genesis, and Aircastle Ltd.MYAirline announced an indefinite suspension of all its operations with immediate effect on October 12, stranding thousands of its domestic and regional customers.CAAM also suspended MYAirline's air operator certificate on October 16, for 90 days.
