Chandran also said that Malindo had job openings in other areas (not flight-related) such as marketing and call center.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that all 20,000 employees of Malaysia Airlines received termination notices. However, they will not all leave the national airline at once, but rather in stages. This should take the next couple of months and will coincide with the restructuring of MAS into Malaysia Airlines Berhard.

This Monday, MAS Bhd offered jobs to 14,000 former employees of Malaysia Airlines.
