Malaysia Airlines Group CEO Captain Izham Ismail said: “I am excited that the joint business is finally taking off after a few months of delay due to travel restrictions between both countries.
“We look forward to the bilateral discussions between the governments of Malaysia and Japan to establish a travel bubble between the two countries, which will ease restrictions for cross-border travel.
“MH being the country’s national airline and JL, play a crucial role in reviving the economy and we are confident that this synergy will facilitate commerce, trade, and boost tourism for both countries.”
