"MAS to sign code-share deal with Jetstar

SEPANG, Feb 4 — Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) plans to sign code-share agreement with JetStar Airways that will connect destinations in India next month, said managing director/chief executive officer, Datuk Seri Idris Jala.

 

He said it was important to increase and consolidate the code-share deals and to help both airlines during this difficult time.

 

“We will be finalising the deal soon, probably by next month,” he said at Media Appreciation Night 2009 presented by Sepang Gold Coast Sdn Bhd and MAS.

 

MAS has nearly 30 code-share agreements and partnerships with major partners.

 

Idris said in order to provide more choices for international flights, MAS would introduce more value packages for customers. “During this difficult time, we can’t have one package to fit all. We will announce the value packages this month,” he said.

 

On another note, he expected global economic slowdown to have negative impact on the industry in the next few months.

 

“Globally, there is a reduction in demand with Europe the hardest hit. I think it is just the beginning. The effects will show in the next few months,” he said.

 

Also present was Minister of Transport Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat. — Bernama"

It's another case of the reporter/editor not knowing the difference between Jet Airways and Jetstar, a B737 and B747, his brain and his ass.

Talking about JetStar, do they fly into KUL ATM?

 

These journalists are obviously too lazy to double check what they wrote...

No, currently Jetstar Asia Airways (3k) flies into KUL from SIN, JetStar Airways (JQ) no longer flies to KUL, they cancelled their SYD-KUL route some time last year and won't be reinstating it in the near future.

In any case, just to confirm the error:
