goingplacesmagazine.com / 73 / August 2017
LOOK OUT FOR THE NEW NEGARAKU LIVERY the next time you fly with Malaysia Airlines. Recently unveiled in a ceremony officiated by Malaysian Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, the livery is part of the government’s Negaraku initiative, a nationwide movement driven by Malaysians for all Malaysians to foster unity and inspire the spirit of patriotism. Chairman of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof, said the Negaraku livery will carry the unique Malaysian values across the world and is an important symbol of the good progress seen in the national carrier’s turnaround plan. Echoing Tan Sri Md Nor, Chief Executive Officer, Peter Bellew, said, “We, the Malaysia Airlines family, are working hard to rebuild this great airline, making it once again the pride of the nation, and this livery is an important symbol of that pride. As the national carrier, we proudly bear the Negaraku logo on behalf of each and every Malaysian whose flag we represent worldwide.” The B737 aircraft, the first of several to display the national flag, will be flown on international flights below seven hours such as to Shanghai, China and Perth, Australia. Apart from the B737-800, the new livery will be painted on the ATR-72500 of MASwings and Firefly, as well as on the new Airbus A350, which is expected to arrive at the end of 2017. The unveiling ceremony was followed by MAG’s celebration of the festival of Eid.
