Genuinely curious as I’ve never seen MH taking any of the blame for what happened to MH17.
Well it took them nearly 10 years after the tragedies to turn a profit.

Doubtless the pandemic will have set their recovery further back in 2020 but this thread isn't about MH's profitability and I don't want to take the thread any further off topic.
And to go back on topic, I think there is scope for BA to add an extra rotation to SIN and possibly KUL. But that will probably be it for the short term. Medium to long term very much depends on what happens in the ME which only a brave person would be willing to predict. I don't see these events bankrupting the ME3 but I do think their profits and their network will take a hit. Whether it is a short term blip or something longer very much depends on how long this conflict drags on for.
