He says tonight Nieuwsuur. Aziz: I think that the UN should have done so I do not know why it has not happened, perhaps because it is aviation and they do not want to intervene in the absence of knowledge of aviation or for political reasons, but according to the international law the UN should take the lead. In this case, the Netherlands took the lead. I find that strange. Unfair investigation Aziz was the mainstay of Malaysia Airlines and led the airline during the heyday in the 80s since his departure in 1991, he is a lawyer. He is still an advisor to MAS. He fears that the role of the Netherlands will be a hindrance in the ultimate justice, In case of prosecution the defense will claim an unfair trial. Neutrality is therefore very important as a lawyer, I am very frustrated... Russia and a group of family members of the deceased have also called for UN investigation. According to the Dutch Safety Board and the National Counterterrorism Coordinator of the Netherlands the investigation meets all international requirements and not only Dutch researchers are part of the team. Malaysia Airlines is on the brink of collapse, after it lost two of its Boeings this year. Flight #MH370 went missing on March 8 over the Indian Ocean and flight MH17 was on July 17 shot down over eastern Ukraine. 537 passengers were killed. Billboards and commemorative sites in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur recall the two tragedies in just five months. Andrews father Maira Nari was purser aboard Flight MH370. He appears regularly in her dreams, she says. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and said he was back. Then I woke up. For a moment I remembered that it was real, but there was nothing. There is huge disbelief disbelief as flight MH17 crashes too. Ex-steward Ismail Nassarudin befriended with crew member Sheek Mahmud: I texted him while he was in Amsterdam. We agreed to meet again, but that sadly never happened. National icon Malaysia Airlines is not just another airline for Malaysia, it is regarded as a national icon. It is our flag bearer, says former CEO Tan Aziz. The company grew in the 80s becoming a prestigious airliner, but after a failed privatization went downhill. Too expensive contracts, too many staff and fierce competition led to heavy losses in recent years. Failed restructuring plans one after the other. The two tragedies this year seem to be the final blow: passengers shun the airline. In the third quarter, a record loss was booked. Job cuts The Malaysian government, already largely owned Malaysia Airlines, has now bought the 30 percent remaining stake. The next three years, the government will pump another 1.5 billion in the company. A new restructuring plan must save the company. 6,000 of the 20,000 jobs lost. The power of the unions is curtailed. Steward Ismail Nassarudin was sacked when he called the CEO on behalf of the union of cabin crew to leave. Those who criticize receive warning letters or be fired, as I do. Germanys Christoph Muller, now chief executive of the Irish budget airline Aer Lingus, will lead Malaysia Airlines from April. Today it was announced that the company on December 31 will leave the stock market Yet Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is very keen to rescue the airline: his father was the founder.
