Malaysia Airlines, Megawallpapers: Malaysia Airlines (Abbreviated: MAS; Malay: Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad.; Pinyin: Mǎláixīyà Hángkōng Gōngsī) (IATA: MH, ICAO: MAS, and Callsign: Malaysia) is the national airline of Malaysia, serving international and domestic destinations. It is the largest airline in South East Asia by fleet size. [br]Fleet - In 1972, Malaysia Airlines had only five Boeing 737-200s, and a handful of Fokker F27s and BN2A Normandy Islanders. The Boeing 737-200s would remain until 1993, by which time a total of 12 were in service. In 1974 it acquired three Boeing 707-320s, though from then on kept leasing more of that type of aircraft from British Airways in particular. DC-10-30s came into service in 1976, and five remained until mid 1990s. In 1979 Malaysia Airlines acquired five new Airbus A300B4s to replace its aging fleet of Boeing 707s. The first Boeing 747 for Malaysia Airlines arrived in 1982,a series -200, followed shortly by another. In 1985 the only Boeing 747-300 to ever serve Malaysia Airlines was bought, and used for the inaugural service between Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles. Malaysia Airlines received its first Boeing 747-400 four years later, and these have remained in service since. In the early 1990s, Fokker F27s were replaced by ten brand new Fokker F50s. Boeing 737-400s were brought in to replace the older -200 series, and later (though shortlived) -500 series. In all Malaysia Airlines has 39 Boeing 737-400s, making it the single largest operator of the Boeing 737 outside United States. At about the same time, Airbus A330-300s came in to replace the Airbus A300s. The Boeing 777s came in in 1997. Today, Malaysia Airlines flies Boeing 747, Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft for its medium to long haul international routes, while the Boeing 737 is often used for shorter international destinations and domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the airline's base. Malaysia Airlines has expressed interest in purchasing the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner and has signed a deal for 6 Airbus 380-800 aircraft. The first A380 will be delivered in early 2007 under a lease deal from its holding company Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad (PMB) and it will be used to provide additional capacity on trunk routes to Europe (ref: Airliner World, March 2005).
