The key issue here is South East Asia, in terms of Garuda even tho they may be bringing in a larger domestic base, its South East Asia as a whole where SkyTeam lacks a significant presence. MH would have been able to fill that void more than satisfactorliy. CI would have been good as well. Even though Vietnam and Garuda have made plans for massive expansion, it won't happen for a while especially with delays by Airbus and Boeing.
