MAB to replace A380s with A350s on London routes

Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) has announced plans to deploy A350-900s on the twice-daily Kuala Lumpur-London route currently operated by Airbus A380s starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. According MAB, the airline has experienced extreme difficulty filling the A380s, even in economy class. MAB has signed a long-term lease for four Airbus A350-900s and options for two more, along with two Airbus A330-900neos.
