The Qualiflyer Group is built around the Swiss carrier Swissair. This alliance comprises nine European airlines, most of which the Swissair holding company SAir has stakes in.

...Sabena, did so because of a five-year-long unreasonable hunter strategy performed by the SAir Group's ex-CEO Philippe Bruggisser, a path to which the terrorist attacks presented only the final blow.
Between 1995 and 2001, the former Swissair Holding Company SAir Group acquired stakes in a dozen of airlines, including Sabena (Belgium), LOT (Poland), LTU (Germany), AOM / Air Liberté (France), Volare (Italy) and South African Airways, thereby piling up huge financial liabilities and interest cost.
None of these airlines ever generated substantial profits. In fact Sabena, LTU, AOM and Air Liberté were more than once close to biting the dust, and Sabena finally filed for bankruptcy on October 3rd, 2001. By the end of the year 2000, the small Swiss regional airline Crossair was the only profitable airline in the whole group.

...I have always read in survey that Malaysian Airlines are one of the best airlines but it is still always behind Singapore and Emirates Airlines. I have travel with Malaysian Airlines and Singapore Airlines. Both are equally good. Thus it makes me wonder on the criteria the survey takes on to rate those Airlines. Later I learned that the survey was refering to the First Class service in the airline. I know don't ... as I only travel in economy class. But I can assure you, Malaysian airlines provides one of the best service in the economy class. Especially with Boeing 777, you are able to choose your own entertainment, be it watching movie, listening to radio or playing games. The stewards and stewardess are very helpful and polite too.
If you are going to travel in economy class.. Choose Malaysian Airlines... you will never regret it...
