      <description>As Southeast Asia’s tourism sector takes a hit from the Iran war, a pivot to serving as alternative flight hubs may help to save the industry.
The region’s major airlines are seeing rising demand for European routes as travellers avoid Middle Eastern hubs amid disruptive drone and missile attacks, according to Reuters.
Singapore Airlines has joined other major Asian carriers, such as Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Qantas Airways, in posting strong performances on Europe flights in March.

      <description>Malaysia’s initial relief at securing a 19 per cent tariff from Washington is rapidly giving way to the reality of a US$240 billion obligation to address the US deficit in bilateral trade, with analysts warning the burden could ultimately leave the country at a disadvantage.
Following months of threats from President Donald Trump and protracted negotiations with Washington, Southeast Asia’s economies were hit with a range of US tariffs last week.

      <description>As night gave way to day along Iran’s uncertain highways, a convoy of Malaysians pressed eastward from the capital, racing against the spectre of violence to reach the safety of the Turkmenistan border.
The evacuation of 17 Malaysians from conflict-hit Iran unfolded as a day-long odyssey spanning more than 1,000km (620 miles) as tensions mounted.
Among them was Khairi Omar, Malaysia’s ambassador to Iran, who called the operation “challenging but successful” amid the precarious security situation...</description>

      <description>Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim can claim a rare feat during his recent four-day visit to Russia.
It was in Moscow where he managed to crack the usually stoic facade of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was amused by the prime minister’s reply to a question on who occupies one of three ceremonial thrones once used by Russia’s imperial family.
“Without even thinking, the prime minister said ‘for the second wife’,” Putin said with a rare chuckle under his breath during a widely broadcast joint news...</description>

      <description>A joke by Russian President Vladimir Putin about Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a “second wife” has drawn mixed reactions back home – amusing social media users but angering others still mourning Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, after Russia was formally blamed for its 2014 downing during Anwar’s visit to Moscow.

      <description>Malaysia’s government must seek reparations from Moscow over the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17, experts said on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim began a four-day visit to Russia, which has been declared responsible for shooting down the passenger jet, killing all 298 people on board.
The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on Monday ruled that Russia was to blame for the tragedy, after the plane was shot down over eastern Ukraine by a...</description>

      <description>Malaysia Airlines said on Friday it had found a “potential issue” with the engine of an Airbus A350-900 aircraft in its fleet but added that it had been resolved.
The issue comes after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued an emergency directive to airlines ordering mandated inspections on A350-1000s which are powered by XWB-97 engines made by Rolls-Royce.
The checks were prompted by an “in-flight engine fire” on one of Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific’s Zurich-bound...</description>

      <description>“Good Night. Malaysian Three Seven Zero.”
Those six words were the last radio transmission from the cockpit of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, less than an hour after the aircraft took off late at night from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Minutes later, the plane disappeared from air-traffic control radar screens.
The huge Boeing 777 jet, almost as long as a Manhattan city block and taller than a five-storey building, had somehow managed to make itself invisible in the clear night sky....</description>

      <description>Hong Kong’s competition watchdog has closed an antitrust investigation into a proposed partnership deal between the city’s flag carrier Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines after the two companies abandoned the idea.
The Competition Commission on Thursday said it had ended its investigation after learning in late July that the airlines had opted to scrap the plan to share revenue and costs, as well as coordinate pricing and schedules for flights between Hong Kong and parts of Malaysia.
The deal...</description>

      <description>Barnacles found on a piece of plane debris might hold the key to discovering what happened to MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared in 2014.
MH370 might have drifted “far south” of where previous models have speculated, according to research published in AGU Advances, which analysed barnacles found on a flaperon, the moving part of a wing. The plane part washed up on Réunion, a French island in the Indian Ocean, a year after the disappearance.
Flight 370 departed from Kuala Lumpur...</description>
