8 April, 2020

Malindo Air suspended all operations in Apr-2020 and requested most of its employees go on unpaid leave due to the coronavirus outbreak (New Straits Times, 07-Apr-2020). Malindo Air CEO Mushafiz Mustafa Bakri stated: "I foresee the situation to be the same in early May. We may perhaps review the situation later in the month and in all possibility only operate a very limited number of flights". Mr Bakri added: "We have made representations to the Minister of Finance and remain hopeful that our appeal to the government for financial help to pay salaries will soon bear some positive response".
