Stockholm : Officials of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) and British Airways (BA) will meet in a couple of months to continue discussions on BA reinstating flights to Malaysia.
MAHB managing director Datuk Seri Bashir Ahmad, who met with BA CEO Willie Walsh at the 13th World Route Development Forum here, said: "There is certainly an interest to return but right now, they are looking at figures and forecasts to ensure that when they do operate, the service will be viable and sustainable for the long term."
"No date (to commence flights) has been fixed as it depends on the viability of the operations and the availability of aircraft," he said, adding that it was purely a business decision.
"Every time we talk, the picture becomes clearer. We appreciate their willingness to talk to us openly and to share their views on this matter," he said.
BA was being cautious because it did not want to have to pull out again. "Once they come in, they want to stay," Bashir said.
