I really do hope everything will turn out well for Malaysia Airlines. Picture was taken in 1994 (ish) with one of @MAS Boeing 737 NG. pic.twitter.com/TMfXasFo5V

The airline has been in operation for 73 years since 1947, and it may not reach its centennial.
For some people. #Malaysiaairlines sangat dekat di hati.
