KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 (Reuters) - Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), parent of national carrier Malaysia Airlines, said on Tuesday it would take delivery of Boeing 737 MAX jets from 2024, though the airline group plans to retire its Airbus A380 fleet in the coming months.
The company has agreed with Boeing to take delivery of its orders from 2024, over a course of three to four years, Group Chief Executive Captain Izham Ismail said in a virtual press briefing.
“We’re committed to take the MAX’s delivery in 2024, but we are also exploring the possibility of taking it earlier,” Izham said, adding that he hopes issues regarding the 737 MAX would be resolved by then and consumer confidence gets restored soon.
