[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) may modify plans for future plane orders after the disappearance of Flight 370 more than three months ago deterred passengers and tarnished the national carrier's reputation.
"The fleet plan is under review," chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said in an interview in Kelana Jaya, near Kuala Lumpur, on Wednesday. "The existing order is not impacted, only the future" plans, he said.
MAS had anticipated ordering as many as 100 jets and was considering a range of models from both Airbus Group NV and Boeing Co, a person familiar with the purchase strategy told Bloomberg News in February.
