AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines merger an option as Covid19 hits industry: Malaysia minister

"That discussion took place even last year, even before this pandemic came. But we need to continue the discussion," he said in an interview.

Privately held Malaysian group Golden Skies Ventures said this month it had made a US$2.5 billion offer to fully take over the holding company of Malaysia Airlines.
