KOTA KINABALU, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- MASwings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, won the prestigious Minister's Special Award at the Sabah Tourism Awards 2013 recently.
Malaysia Airlines' Hong Kong Station was also awarded as the Best Airline Station 2013, for the second consecutive year according to a statement.

"This award also recognizes the efforts of an "all-Sabahan" cabin crew on the airline's operations in Sabah and often time these cabin crews have demonstrated the unbeatable traits of many Sabahans: poise, elegance, beauty and friendliness," said Masidi.
Malaysia Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said, "We are very proud of this win by MASwings and MAS Hong Kong station." "Their hardwork and dedication had earned these prestigious recognition. "It is very motivating for us to see how our colleagues worked hard as a team to achieve seemingly impossible results to go beyond boundaries in our role to serve our guests," he added.
