Boris flies with disaster-struck airline
Troubled Malaysia Airlines received a vote of confidence from Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who chose the carrier for his return flight from Kuala Lumpur to the UK.
He said: "I am delighted to be flying home from my six-day trade mission across South East Asia on Malaysia Airlines, and I am looking forward to experiencing their famous Malaysian hospitality on board the KL to London A380."
The charismatic Mayor was met with all round cheer and big smiles from guests and crew as he entered the Business Class cabin on the A380’s Upper Deck.
Malaysia Airlines has recently lost two aircraft; flight MH370 which went missing as it travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and flight MH17 which was shot down over Ukraine en route from KL to Amsterdam.
