MYAirline, via a notice on their website has suspended all operations effective immediately. Unfortunately, this information was not conveyed to any of their passengers booked on flights today, and many are stranded at KLIA Terminal 2 at the moment. Their service counter is also closed and this is leading to even more frustration.
MYAirline updated their Facebook post at 5.30 am with a Press Release announcing their suspension of operations effective 12th October due to “significant financial pressures”, slightly under an hour before a scheduled flight departure to Tawau at 6.15am. There was however no indication whether their ticket holding passengers were notified beforehand as some were at Terminal 2 as early as 4 am waiting to check in for their flight.
This announcement was on the back of the resignation of the MYAirline CEO, Rayner Teo who stepped down on the 9th of October citing health complications.
In total, MYAirline has 19 flights scheduled for departure from KLIA Terminal 2 today. At least four flights were directly impacted by the sudden announcement as passengers had already made their way to the terminal and are now stranded. As most of these flights are turnaround flights, we believe that the number of affected flights for today alone might be double this number.
This suspension doesn’t only involve local destinations as flights to and from Bangkok today have also been abruptly suspended, leaving a lot of transit passengers in disarray.
