JKLParticipantI have flown a great deal with Malaysia Airlines in the last few months, including on their 777 just a few days ago. I have always found their inflight service to be superb and their crews amongs the best. I sincerely hope this incident has a positive outcome and not the one we’re no doubt all fearing.
