PETALING JAYA: The aviation sector is among the worse hit in terms of business from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and this has forced airlines to seek ways to cushion the blows.

Airlines are restrategising in terms of their capacities and are also embarking on cost-cutting measures, at least until there are more clarity of the virus outbreak coming under control. And at least for the shorter term, they do not have to take too drastic measures with the lower Brent crude oil prices, which are currently trading below US$60 per barrel, coming in to offset some of the impact.

The national carrier said it is proactively reducing capacity based on demand. As more and more countries are imposing travel restrictions, Malaysia Airlines has responded quickly to these changes. Similarly like any other companies impacted by this situation, we have initiated counter measures to manage our costs, ” the spokesman added.

The airline has also taken swift action to reduce its frequencies to the affected regions and shift its capacities to other regions.
