Malaysia Airlines apologises for tweet

Malaysia Airlines has said its loss widened in the last quarter, and was forced to apologise for a promotional tweet criticised as insensitive after two deadly passenger jet disasters this year.

In its last public financial result before a planned privatisation and overhaul, the national carrier said its net loss in the July-September quarter rose 53% from a year earlier to 576.1m ringgit (€137.7m).
