HUNGARY :
Fulfilling commitments undertaken in 2009, Malév has successfully implemented simplification of its fleet to two types. In the course of consolidating the fleet we have withdrawn our five Fokker 70s from service and will be gradually returning them to the owner, AWAS Leasing Company. Thus this year Malév will be operating with a fleet comprising just two types: 18 Boeing 737 NGs and 4 Bombardier Q-400s carrying out regional services. This simplified fleet structure means a significant reduction in our company's maintenance and operational costs, the positive impacts of which will be apparent even in 2010, said Martin Gauss, the airline's CEO.
