Malaysia Airlines is the flag carrier of Malaysia. Malaysia Airlines operates flights from its home base, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and its secondary hub in Kota Kinabalu. Despite having undergone a financial restructuring exercise in 2006, Malaysia Airlines maintains a strong presence in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and on the lucrative Kangaroo Route between Europe and Australasia. Malaysia Airlines also operates transatlantic flights from Kuala Lumpur to New York, via Stockholm, and transpacific flights from Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles, via Taipei. In 1997, the airline was the record holder of the world's longest non-commercial, non-stop flight from Boeing Field in Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, flying eastward passing the Europe and Africa continents and breaking the Great Circle Distance Without Landing record for an airliner on a Boeing 777-200ER: longer than the record held by the Boeing 777-200LR. Malaysia Airlines has diversified its revenue sources into aeronautical revenues and non-aeronautical revenues, such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and aircraft handling. Malaysia Airlines has two airline subsidiaries: Firefly and MASWings. Malaysia Airlines is one of the world airlines to be accredited by International Air Transport Association with IOSA (IATA Operations Safety Audit) for its operational safety practices. It is one of only six airlines in the world to be given a 5-star status airline by Skytrax.
