Exhibit F8: IATA Simplifying the Business (StB) Simplifying the Business (StB) programme was launched in 2004

which leverages technology, automates and streamlines processes to reduce complexity and cost, whilst making the transportation of passengers and freight more convenient. The StB is projected to bring a win-win situation to all airline members and air travellers, and also to deliver annual industry cost savings of USD6.5 billion. MAS finds the StB highly beneficial and aligned with its strategy to become a Five Star Value Carrier. As such, we are following closely the 5 StB initiatives: Electronic ticketing (eTicketing) J MAS started to shift towards eTicketing via our Passenger Services System (PSS). We are targeting to be 100% eTicket capable by 31 May 2008. Common Use Self-Service (CUSS) J MAS cutover at KLIA in December 2007. Bar Coded Boarding Passes (BCBP) J MAS cutover at KLIA in November 2007. IATA eFreight J Introduce paper-free cargo (i.e. no hardcopies of documents) on key trade routes. Baggage management improvement programme J This explores the usage of radio frequency ID (RFID) to minimise mishandled or lost baggage. MAS is awaiting the outcome of IATAs pilot project. The common theme globally is the need for efficiency. IATAs Simplifying the Business programme is delivering critical efficiencies from eTicketing to eFreight. In 2008, IATA will launch 3 major initiatives that will cut costs and improve service. IATA will further revolutionise the travel experience with expanded self-service options to give passengers more control over their journeys.

Step 2 : Reduce Structural And Operational Costs To defend profits and market share but also laying a solid foundation for profitable growth. Profitable growth cannot happen unless we radically cut costs. Our cost challenge is to reduce system wide unit cost (CASK) by 20% from the current 17.5 sen/ASK down to 14 sen/ASK, which will enable MAS to achieve a breakeven load factor of 60%-65%. Only with a breakeven load factor of 60%-65%, can MAS grow its network. MAS are embarking on systemwide structural cost reduction via 2 key programmes i.e. Project Delta and theProcurement Revamp Programme. We will make our organisation more resilient to external competition and demand shocks. With lower structural costs, we will be able to offer more competitive fares when we want it and on routes we want to compete on. It is important to reiterate that cutting costs is NOT about shortchanging MASs customers, cutting corners or compromising on safety and quality. It is about transforming MASs business and reducing costs in areas that will allow MAS room to grow by providing service elements that reflect the 5-Star status MAS want to be known for.

Aspired total cost savings

Project Delta (Operations & E&M) : RM476m Procurement Revamp Programme : RM100-200m Reduction in distribution cost (e.g. increased Internet penetration) eTicketing : RM200m Total Up to RM 1 billion : RM200-300m 61 62 Note: There may be some overlap between cost savings in Project Delta and the Procurement Revamp Programme.
