Mas Airlines Swot Analysis
Introduction
Malindo Air is an airline based in Malaysia. It is a joint venture between National Aerospace and Defence Industries (NADI) (51%) of Malaysia and Lion Air of Indonesia (49%). The name "Malindo" came from the names of respective countries: Malaysia and Indonesia. Malindo Air planned to start operation on 1 May 2013 from the new KLIA2 terminal initially. However, Malindo Air has brought forward the launch date to mid-March 2013 with domestic destinations. The airline only operates Economy and Business class.
Background
The entry of AirAsia from Malaysia in the home turf of Lion Air has encouraged the Indonesian airline to enter Malaysian market with a subsidiary airline. AirAsia's subsidiary Indonesia AirAsia, in partnership with its parent firm, attempted to buy Indonesian carrier Batavia Air to gain foothold in the Indonesian market, but the deal didn't go through due to regulatory complications and Batavia Air ended up going bankrupt. The attempted deal resulted in turf war between Lion Air, Indonesia's biggest low-cost carrier, and AirAsia, Asia's biggest low-cost carrier. Mr Chandran Ramamuthy, personal assistant executive to the president director of Lion Air, has been appointed as CEO of Malindo Air. The airline inaugural flights will be operational from 22 March. Malindo Air will provide a personal TV (in-flight entertainment system) in every seat, light snacks and free meal, seat pitches of 32" and 45" for economy class and business class respectively, and free baggage allowance of 15 kg & 30 kg. Furthermore, wifi service will be available from June onwards. Combination of these with low cost fares makes Malindo Air known as a hybrid airline. According to Malindo Air, a total of 50,000 passengers has flown with the airline as of 9 May 2013.

    After watching the CNBC special about American Airlines and a week inside their business I noticed several interesting things. Though it was dated few years ago many of the issues are still the same. They had several Revenue drivers; Cargo income, excess baggage fees, last minute departure fees, Postal cartage, and miscellaneous charges for meals, drinks, and accessories. These are not needed but sometimes are needed on certain longer flights. They provide an extra income that may just keep a transcontinental flight from losing money.…

    carrier flying. Now he wants to create a new breed of air service. Much has happened in the intervening three years. Malaysia Airlines, the Southeast Asian country’s national carrier, was less than four months away from running out of cash when Jala took charge, in December 2005. The state-controlled airline had been struggling for some time, but inadequate yield management, an inefficient network, and poor cost control finally brought it to its knees that year, when it posted a 1.7 billion ringgit ($500 million) loss. Yet in 2007, the airline earned record annual profits of 851 million ringgit. Such a swing would be remarkable for any company, much less one facing the hurdles common with state ownership: a large number of stakeholders, intense public scrutiny, competing priorities, insufficient freedom to operate commercially, and a host of legacy personnel challenges. Now Jala aspires to turn Malaysia Airlines into a “five-star value carrier.” Jala came to Malaysia Airlines with no experience in the aviation industry or state-run companies. But he had won a reputation for engineering business turnarounds during his 23 years at the oil giant Shell, whose Sri Lankan and Malaysian units he rescued from years of chronic losses. In Sri Lanka, he says, “The Shell leadership told me if I couldn’t fix it in two years, just tell them and they would shut it down. I’d be the last person to switch off the lights.” In this interview at his office, at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, near Kuala Lumpur, Jala discussed the lessons he brought from Shell and how he…
