Malaysia Airlines has grounded its newly acquired Airbus A330neo jet shortly after its maiden flight due to technical issues originating from the factory.
Chief Executive Izham Ismail emphasized that safety is the airline’s top priority and described the faults as “unacceptable” and “embarrassing.” The jet’s inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne on December 19 encountered problems.
