The suspension is "in relation to a material corporate exercise involving the company", the stock exchange said.

The airline has been hurt by two major tragedies - the the crash of flight MH17 in Ukraine and disappearance of flight MH370 - in recent months, BBC News reports.

There has been growing speculation that Khazanah may look to delist the firm.
