it is marketed as Malaysia Airlines, berhad is like adding a PTY LTD at the end of a name and nobody says I'm flying Qantas PTY LTD or Qantas corporation or whatever

Trading name versus corporate entity, each one is acceptable

One's the company name, and one's the airline name. (and it's Qantas Airlines Limited)

Re: Malaysian Airlines

Its about time that QANTAS go back to its roots, stopped pfaffing around with acronyms, and just called itself Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.

Yes, I know it is no longer an acronym.

Or changed its name to the more accurate Sydney and Melbourne Aerial Services.

Re: Malaysian Airlines

The Airbus A380 has the answer.

Any MH aircraft, boarding pass, website . . . has the answer. It's Malaysia Airlines, never Malaysian Airlines.

Re: Malaysian Airlines

Officially it's Malaysia Airlines but Malaysian Airlines sounds better. I remember the good old days of Malaysian Airline System (MAS).

Re: Malaysian Airlines

It's all a little academic when everyone I know in Malaysia calls it "MAS"!

Re: Malaysian Airlines

MAS was known as Mana Ada System by the locals. It literally meant "where got system"?

Actually, I've been known to tell SWMBO that I want us to fly on a "Qantas group airline"



Of course, when that happens she usually replies "don't stuff around with that cough. If that means jetstar, just saying F'ing jetstar! [insert character assessment]"

Re: Malaysian Airlines

It seems not even Qantas knows the name of the airline it sponsored into the global alliance it helped found:
