The Malaysian government is exploring partnerships with rival airlines Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air Malaysia, according to Reuters. This development comes as AirAsia, Southeast Asia's largest low-cost carrier, faces financial challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline group has been seeking debt renegotiation and has announced early retirements of aircraft. Soaring jet fuel costs, exacerbated by the U.S.-Israel conflict, have also impacted AirAsia's financial health.
