Turning around a struggling airline: An interview with the CEO of Malaysia Airlines
When Idris Jala became CEO at Malaysia Airlines, his goal was to keep the carrier flying. Now he wants to create a new breed of air service. Much has happened in the intervening three years.
Jala came to Malaysia Airlines with no experience in the aviation industry or state-run companies. But he had won a reputation for engineering business turnarounds during his 23 years at the oil giant Shell, whose Sri Lankan and Malaysian units he rescued from years of chronic losses.
In this interview, Jala discusses the lessons he brought from Shell and how he met the urgent need for change when he arrived at Malaysia Airlines.
Very interesting article indeed.... this was published in McKinsey Quarterly of November issue.... please read on...
