2009/11/09

MALAYSIA
Airlines was awarded Asia's Leading Airline Award at a spectacular
ceremony regarded as the "Oscars" of the global travel and tourism
industry.


Six other Malaysian companies, including hotels and resorts, also
won prestigious awards which were presented by Miss World 2009
contestants at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair on Saturday night.

MAS was voted by more than 180,000 industry professionals in a global poll conducted by the World Travel Awards.

Resorts World Genting walked away with two awards -- Asia's Leading Family Resort and Asia's Leading Casino Resort.

Tourism Malaysia's "Malay-sia: Truly Asia" slogan was also voted Asia's Leading Marketing Campaign.

MAS chairman Tan Sri Dr Munir Majid, who received the award presented
by Miss Vietnam, Huong Gian, said: "This recognition is testament to
the hard work of our employees. Our focus has always been on 'Serving
customers'.






"Anchoring this is our commitment to continuous service improvement and delivery, with our customers' needs in mind.

"This actually shows that our five star value carrier concept is working and we are not vacating the five star product.

"Under
the current economic situation, there might be tendencies to move away
from our focus. But our focus has been very clear on this five star
value carrier."

Malaysia Airlines has won a string of awards
and accolades this year. This year, for the fourth consecutive year,
the airline has been accredited as a "Five-star Airline" by Skytrax. It
is one of the only six airlines worldwide to be given this award.

Malaysia Airlines' cabin staff also won the "World's Best Cabin Staff
Award" by Skytrax. The team has won this over six years, 2001-2004,
2007 and this year -- the most for any airline.

In addition,
the airline moved up one rank to number eight in the Top Airlines
Worldwide category under the "Best in Travel 2009 Poll" by Smart Travel
Asia, the dedicated travel magazine for Asia.
