The powerful Malaysia Airlines Employees Union (Maseu) strongly opposes the idea of selling off MAS Engineering, the airline’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) division.

Maseu executive secretary and founder Mohd Jabbarullah Abd Kadir said it is better for MAS to do a joint venture (JV) with an MRO company, such as Airod, instead of resorting to the spin off.

“With the JV, we could collaborate with the knowledge and expertise that we have in MRO, for example. But what MAS really needs now actually is someone with leadership and expertise in the aviation industry,” Jabbarullah said at a press conference, here, yesterday.
