This would obviously be a very smart move for MH. They would fill a huge hole in Skyteam's global airline distribution and would also undoubtedly attract more foreign traffic to KUL.
MH's problem has long been a lack of promotion and exposure in foreign markets, and this sounds like a great step toward upping their stature and visibility.
Here's hoping it happens, and soon!

I haven't personally heard anything to that effect, but I would welcome them... KE is not doing much for our Asia customers (or for my flight benefits for that matter). MH would be a great addition. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

My question, as MH is already codesharing with KL, won't some flights already be codeshared through KL anyway, therefore making MH some kind of "distant allee"?

Hope it will be SKY they go for..
Hi!
Just read from the following link:
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/ne...s.php?id=88308
It will be interesting to see what they will go for. I am sure that with their history of co-op with KLM and NW, they should join SKY. Furthermore, i think *A would not be an option with TG and SQ at the top and bottom of them..
Ok, let's see how this progresses.. I really think that they will fill the missing link in SKY..

During dinner last night with a senior Malaysian minister, I can confirm that MAS will be joining up with Skyteam by the Summer of 2005 latest. The minister is over in Europe now for G to G meetings on this matter.
