Malaysia Airlines 'on course' to break even by 2018

Malaysia Airlines' outgoing CE Christoph Müller said that the company is on course to break even by 2018. The aviation firm is stepping up efforts to turn a profit after facing tragedies and record losses. Malaysia Airlines seems to be economically back on track. The company's departing CE says the airline could return to the black by 2018. This would mark a tremendous improvement in the company's fortunes, given that two disasters in 2014 hurt the airline's reputation and sales. Müller said one reason the airline was in dire conditions when he took over as CE was because of the airline's poor personnel management and bloated workforce. That is why, Müller noted, he laid off 6,000 workers and streamlined the firm's operations. <br/>
