Malaysia Airlines began in 1947 as Malayan
Airways but was renamed Malaysian Airways following the creation of the
Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Following the independence of Singapore from
Malaysia, it was renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA) in 1966. MSA
ceased operations in 1972 after the formation of two separate entities -
Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and Singapore Airlines. The Singaporean
Government wanted to develop its international operations, while Malaysia
wanted the airline to first focus on domestic and regional growth before
finally becoming fully international. The airline needs of the two countries
were not compatible
