00:00Malaysia Airlines' flight and route cuts are not a cause for concern as they are beneficial

00:08for the airline in the long term, say aviation experts.

00:13Aviation analyst and consultant Brendan Sobey said the airline is dealing with widespread

00:17industry problems such as supply chain disruptions and aircraft delivery delays which have forced

00:23it to extend the use of older planes.

00:27He added that older aircraft are being pushed harder, leading to more frequent breakdowns

00:31and unscheduled maintenance.

00:34He said the current service cuts are seen as temporary, with confidence in the airline's

00:38performance expected to improve as it resolves operational, maintenance and manpower issues

00:43by the end of the year.

00:46Another aviation expert, Girmas Sinkera, said sending engines overseas for maintenance is

00:51causing further delays due to parts shortages.

00:55He dispelled the notion that Malaysia Airlines might have cut corners to keep its fleet operational

00:59and maintain schedules, saying that Malaysia Airlines will not compromise on safety.
