    RED CROSSConstituted under an Act of Indian Legislative council in 1920

    it is auxiliary to the state authorities and armed forces medical

    services as per statutes of the Red Cross Red Crescent

    Movement.

    When the first World War broke out in 1914, India had no

    machinery for organizing relief to those affected by the war,

    except a branch of the St. John Ambulance Association.Following the example of Britain where war relief services

    were being rendered by a Joint Committee of the British Red

    Cross, a branch of the same Committee was started to

    undertake the much needed relief services in collaboration

    with the St. John Ambulance Association in aid of the soldiers

    as well as civilian sufferers of the horrors of the war.

    A bill to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society, Independent

    of the British Red Cross, was introduced in the Indian

    Legislative Council on 3rd March 1920 by Sir Claud Hill,

    member of the Viceroy's Executive Council who was also the

    Chairman of the Joint War Committee in India. The Bill was

    passed on 17th March 1920 and became Act XV of 1920 with

    the assent of the Governor General on the 20th March 1920.

    On the 7th June 1920, fifty members were formally nominated

    to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society and the firstManaging Body was elected from among them with Sir

    Malcolm Haily as Chairman.

    Thus, the Indian Red Cross Society was born in 1920.

    UNITED NATIONS

    The United Nations is an international organization founded in

    1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries committed

    to maintaining international peace and security, developing

    friendly relations among nations and promoting social

    progress, better living standards and human rights. Due to its

    unique international character, and the powers vested in its

    founding Charter, the Organization can take action on a widerange of issues, and provide a forum for its 192 Member States

    to express their views, through the General Assembly, the

    Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and other

    bodies and committees.

    The work of the United Nations reaches every corner of the

    globe. Although best known for peacekeeping, peacebuilding,

    conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance, there are

    many other ways the United Nations and its System(specialized agencies, funds and programmes) affect our lives

    and make the world a better place. The Organization works on

    a broad range of fundamental issues, from sustainable

    development, environment and refugees protection, disaster

    relief, counter terrorism, disarmament and non-proliferation,

    to promoting democracy, human rights, governance, economic

    and social development and international health, clearing

    landmines, expanding food production, and more, in order toachieve its goals and coordinate efforts for a safer world for

    this and future generation.

    KFC

    The history and successes of KFC are tied to Colonel Harland

    Sanders - the inventor of a special mix of 11 sorts of herbs and

    spices, which is only used to season chicken in KFC

    restaurants. Colonel Sanders, whose portrait we can see in the

    KFC logo, is regarded as a pioneer of fast food restaurants and

    franchising.

    It is the year 1930. Colonel Harland Sanders has bought amotel and a coffee house at Corbin in the American state of

    Kentucky. Nine years later, in 1939, aged 40, he creates a

    secret mix of 11 sorts of herbs and spices called the Original

    Recipe. He served chicken thus prepared in his restaurants.

    After 17 years Sanders decided to sell his secret recipe to

    owners of other restaurants. In 1968 there were already 638

    KFC restaurants and in 1971 as many as 3,500 restaurants.

    Today, the network of KFC restaurants offers tasty chicken

    meals in more than 11,000 restaurants in 90 countries around

    the world. The first KFC restaurant in the Czech Republic was

    opened in 1994 in Vodikova Street in Prague.

    Although KFC restaurants offer more than 400 different

    products (from Chicken Pita in Kuwait to a Salmon Sandwich

    in Japan and the Mean Greens in the USA), the core product is

    chicken prepared according to the secret recipe of ColonelSanders.

    In the Czech Republic, we have more than 50 KFC restaurants

    to date.

    Some interesting information about KFC:

    Colonel Sanders created his secret recipe consisting of 11

    herbs and spices in 1939.

    KFC sells 914 million pieces of chicken every year.

    KFC opens on average one new restaurant every day.

    It was first introduced as "Brad's Drink"in New Bern, North

    Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his

    pharmacy where the drink was sold. It was later named PepsiCola, possibly due to the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts

    used in the recipe.[1] Bradham sought to create a fountain drink

    that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.[2]

    In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his

    drugstore to a rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968

    gallons of syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce

    bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1909, automobilerace pioneer Barney Oldfield was the first celebrity to endorse

    Pepsi-Cola, describing it as "A bully drink...refreshing,

    invigorating, a fine bracer before a race".[3] The advertising

    theme "Delicious and Healthful" was then used over the next two

    decades. In 1926, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the

    original design of 1905. In the year 1929, the logo was changed

    again.

    The very first BMW car was the BMW 3/15 PS, also known as Dixi

    DA 1. At first, the Dixi DA 1 was no more than an Austin Seven,

    produced under license by Eisenach Fahrzeugfabrik in Germany.

    BMW bought this company in November 1928 as they wanted to

    start producing cars. The Dixi DA 1 was produced from 1927 until

    1929. The first genuine BMW Dixi was the Dixi Da 2, introduced atthe end of 1929. This was the first car that had the now famous

    blue / white BMW emblem. The Da 2 was basicly the same as the

    DA 1, but now with some important improvements, like adjustable

    seats and better breaks. In 1930 the DA 3 came available. This car

    was

    a two seater Roadster, with a 18 HP 4 cylinder engine, reaching 100

    km/h. No more than 150 DA 3 cars were made ... The Dixi Da 2

    remained available until 1932, when the license with Austin ended.

    At the same time, BMW introduced their first own design, the 3/20.

    It had a 20 HP 4 cylinder engine and was produced until 1934. The

    first BMW 6 cylinder was the 303, which was also the first BMW to

    have the famous "kidney grille", which is still used on current cars!

    The 1.2 litre 6 cylinder had 30 HP and could do 100 km/h. A 315

    and 319 soon followed, as did the 328. The 328 was a very successful

    sports car, it had a 2 litre 6 cylinder engine with 80HP,

    good for 166 km/h. It won several races, including the 1940 Mille

    Miglia. But with the start of World War 2, production slowly startedto end ... the BMW 335, with a 6 cylinder 90 HP engine, was the last

    post World War 2 BMW produced .

    The first BMW after World War 2, the 1951 501, was a beautiful

    car, but way too expensive. And the engine was far too weak (60 HP

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    9/24

    6 cylinder) to move the 1340 KG

    car around. The 1952 501 received a 65 HP engine, but a 2.6 8

    cylinder became available in 1955. The last 501 left the factory in

    1961. In 1958, BMW launched the 502, which had a 2.6 litre V8engine producing 95 HP and a top speed of 160 km/h.

    The 502 3.2, introduced in 1955, had 120 HP and the rare 502 3.2 S

    had 140 HP. After a few name changes, production of the big V8

    saloons stopped in 1964. Isetta, that is the name of the BMW that

    was introduced in 1955. This little cute car had a 1 cylinder 12 HP

    engine, which could do 85 km/h. A 13 HP Isetta came available a

    year later, but production of all Isetta cars stopped in 1962, after

    just 136.367 Isetta's build. The beautiful 503 and 507, bothintroduced in 1955, were no success either. The 1959 BMW 700 was

    a step in the good direction but BMW's financial situation was bad.

    So bad that selling BMW to rival Mercedes Benz was

    very close. But thanks to the dealers and Dr. Herbert Quandt, who

    bought a large quantity of BMW stock, BMW survived. The launch

    of the 1500 (also known as E8) in 1961 was a fresh start for

    BMW:the car became a real success! More engines soon became

    available, like the 1600, 1800, 2000, 2000 Tii and the very rare 1800

    Ti/Sa, which had 130 HP. More success came with the launch of the

    1600-2 in 1966. A smaller, 2 door version of the 1600. The 1600-2

    had an 85 HP 4 cylinder and a top speed of 160 km/h. The 2 litre,

    100 HP strong2002 (code name E10) followed

    in 1968, as did the 2002 Ti, with 120 HP. A 1602, 1802 and 2002Tii

    (130 HP) soon followed, as did a 2002 Turbo, which had 170 HP.

    The introduction of the 2500 (E3) in 1968 saw the return of the

    larger sedans, followed by a coupe version: the 2800

    CS and later the 3.0 CSi (E9).These were the last cars before the introduction of the 5 series in

    1972, the 3 series in 1975, the 6 series in 1976 and the 7 series in

    1977.

    DOMINOS

    Privately held Domino's, Inc. is the number two pizza chain in the

    world, trailing only the Pizza Hut division of YUM! Brands, Inc.

    The company operates a network of more than 7,300 company-

    owned and franchised stores in all 50 U.S. states and more than 50other countries. Nearly 90 percent of Domino's more than 4,800 U.S.

    outlets are franchise stores. Including the employees of franchisees,

    there are about 145,000 Domino's workers around the world, and

    global systemwide sales in 2002 totaled $3.96 billion. Domino's was

    built on simple concepts, offering just delivery or carry-out and an

    extremely limited menu: for more than 30 years, the company

    offered only two sizes of pizza, 11 topping choices, and--until 1990--

    only one beverage, cola. In recent years the company has added

    salads, breadsticks, and other non-pizza items to its menu in aneffort to stave off rivals Pizza Hut, Papa John's International, Inc.,

    and Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc., but has otherwise held fast to its

    focus on the basics of providing quality pizza and service. The

    driving force behind Domino's for most of its history was founder

    Tom Monaghan, who late in 1998 sold control of the company to

    Bain Capital, Inc., a Boston-based private equity investment firm.

    Monaghan, however, retained a 27 percent voting stake.

    Monaghan was born in 1937 near Ann Arbor, Michigan.

    Following his father's death in 1941, Monaghan lived in a

    succession of foster homes, including a Catholic orphanage, for

    much of his childhood. His mother, after finishing nursing school

    and buying a house, made two attempts to have Tom and his

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    11/24

    brother live at home with her, but she and Tom failed to get

    along. During these years Monaghan worked a lot of jobs, many

    of them on farms. His father's aunt took him in during his senior

    year of high school, but after that he was once again on his own.A quote from Monaghan in his high school yearbook read: "The

    harder I try to be good the worse I get; but I may do something

    sensational yet."

    For several years Monaghan worked to try to save money for

    college; he joined the Marines and saved $2,000, but gave it in

    several installments to a fly-by-night "oil man" he met

    hitchhiking, who took the money and ran. Monaghan returned to

    Ann Arbor to live with his brother Jim, who worked for the Post

    Office and did occasional carpentry work at a pizza shop called

    DomiNick's. When Jim Monaghan overheard the pizza shop

    owner discussing a possible sale, he mentioned buying it as a

    possibility to Tom. With the aid of a $900 loan from the Post

    Office credit union, in December 1960 Jim and Tom Monaghan

    were in business in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

    Within eight months, Jim Monaghan took a beat-up VolkswagenBeetle as a trade for his half of the partnership. Tom moved in

    across the street from his shop. The store Monaghan bought had

    little room for sit-down dining; from the start, delivery was key.

    The first drivers, laid-off factory workers, agreed to work on

    commission. After only $99 in sales the first week, profits climbed

    steadily to $750 a week. Early on, Monaghan made decisions that

    streamlined work and greatly enhanced profits: on two separate

    occasions he dropped six-inch pizzas and submarine sandwiches

    from his menu when he was shorthanded at his shop, reasoning

    that he and his staff could handle the rush better without making

    special-sized pizzas or sandwiches in addition to regular pizzas.

    When he went over the numbers the day after, both times

    NESTLE

    Henri Nestl was born in Frankfurt in 1814, and moved to

    Vevey in his twenties, a merchant and small-scale inventor. He

    slowly gravitated towards foods and foodstuffs, experimenting

    with various recipes for baby-food to help mothers who were

    unable to breastfeed, and eventually came up with a concoction

    he calledfarine lacte, based, as he put it, on wholesome Swiss

    milk and a cereal component baked by a special process of my

    invention. In 1867, he fed this to a premature baby boy whosemother was dangerously ill herself; the boy survived, and

    Nestls reputation skyrocketed. The following year he opened

    an office in London to cope with the quantity of orders, and

    within five years was exporting to South America and

    Australia. In 1874 he sold his company for a million francs.

    Nestl bought out Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk in 1905, and

    chocolatemakers Peter, Cailler and Kohler pioneers in

    making milk chocolate in 1929; although it had always

    concentrated on milk alone, it started to diversify. Benefitingfrom massive surpluses of coffee beans in the 1930s, Nestl

    launched the worlds first instant coffee Nescaf in 1938.

    More takeovers followed, of processed-food manufacturer

    Maggi in 1947, Crosse & Blackwell in 1950, and frozen-food

    giant Findus in 1963, broadening the range even further. By

    14/24

    the mid-1960s, Nestl was Switzerlands biggest company, a

    huge multinational incorporating over 200 factories around the

    world, with global management still based in Vevey.

    Today, having swallowed up cosmetic company LOreal in1974 and British confectioner Rowntrees in 1991, Nestl

    employs almost a quarter of a million people, and buys up

    more than ten percent of the worlds entire crop of coffee and

    cacao beans. However, its most controversial product is,

    strangely, its original one: baby formula. With a marketing

    policy in developing-world countries that has been deemed bymany to be aggressively profit driven at the expense of

    consumer health, Nestl has been riding a storm of anger in

    recent years from childrens organizations and health

    watchdogs in both the developed and the developing world.

    Many of these groups continue to lobby for boycotts of Nestl

    products unless the company takes a role in helping educate

    mothers in developing-world countries to breastfeed whenever

    possible, and to buy formula only as a last resort. The companymaintains its ads dont dissuade mothers from breastfeeding,

    and are merely offering them a choice. The dispute shows few

    signs of resolution and, frankly, little chance of toppling such a

    mighty global industrial entity as Nestl.

    FERRARI

    The Ferrari team first competed in Formula One in 1950 and they

    have won an impressive 209 races. In their second season in 1951,

    Jose Froilan Gonzalez celebrated Ferraris first Grand Prix success

    and the following year, went on to win the drivers title two seasons

    in a row. Various drivers claim victory in the exciting Ferrari

    throughout the years, with John Surtees remaining the only man to

    win the championship on a motorbike as well as a racing car. In the

    late 90s and early 00s, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari

    dominated the world of Formula One, before Schumachersretirement in 2006 with a record breaking seven championship titles

    to his name. 2007 was rocked by claims that McLaren had

    confidential data belonging to Ferrari and were later awarded the

    constructors title after McLaren were disqualified. Kimi

    Raikkonen also took the drivers title, before team mate Filipe

    Massa just misses out on the 2008 award to McLarens Lewis

    Hamilton. Ferrari retained the constructors title with a remarkable

    21 point lead.The team principal is Stefano Domenicali and the team is based

    in Maranello, Italy. Ferrari race with the Bridgestone Potenza tyres

    and use a Ferrari Type 056 engine and has successfully earned 203

    pole positions. Filipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen will be the main

    drivers for the 2009 campaign and Ferrari will be looking to retain

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    16/24

    the constructors title and win back the drivers title from rivals

    McLaren.

    Ferrari have modified the exhaust exits on the side pods of the

    F60 chassis and to boost down force, they have redesigned the nose

    cone to be longer with a higher central section to increase theamount of air flow underneath. The team has also minimised drag

    with the addition of channeling vertical fin on the end plate to direct

    the air flow away from the front tyres. The rear view mirror

    mountings are attached to the lower section of the bodywork, which

    creates a vertical turning vane that was originally introduced by

    BMW Sauber in 2008.

    YAMAHA

    Genichi Kawakami was the first son of Kaichi Kawakami, thethird-generation president of Nippon Gakki (musical instruments

    and electronics; presently Yamaha Corporation). Genichi studied

    and graduated from Takachiho Higher Commercial School in

    March of 1934. In July of 1937, he was the second Kawakami to

    join the Nippon Gakki Company.He quickly rose to positions of

    manager of the company's Tenryu Factory Company (musical

    instruments) and then Senior General Manager, before assuming

    the position of fourth-generation President in 1950 at the youngage of 38.

    In 1953, Genichi was looking for a way to make use of idle

    machining equipment that had previously been used to make

    aircraft propellers. Looking back on the founding of Yamaha

    Motor Company, Genichi had this to say. "While the company

    was performing well and had some financial leeway, I felt the

    need to look for our next area of business. So, I did some

    research." He explored producing many products, including

    sewing machines, auto parts, scooters, three-wheeled utility

    vehicles, andmotorcycles. Market and competitive factors led

    him to focus on the motorcycle market. Genichi actually visited

    the United States many times during this period.When asked

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    18/24

    about this decision, he said, "I had my research division chief and

    other managers visit leading motorcycle factories around the

    country. They came back and told me there was still plenty of

    opportunity, even if we were entering the market late. I didn't

    want to be completely unprepared in this unfamiliar business sowe toured to German factories before setting out to build our first

    125cc bike. I joined in this tour around Europe during which my

    chief engineers learned how to build motorbikes. We did as much

    research as possible to insure that we could build a bike as good

    as any out there. Once we had that confidence, we started going."

    "If you are going to make it, make it the very best there is." With

    these words as their motto, the development team poured all their

    energies into building the first prototype, and ten months later in

    August of 1954 the first model was complete. It was the Yamaha

    YA-1. The bike was powered by an air-cooled, 2-stroke, single

    cylinder 125cc engine. Once finished, it was put through an

    unprecedented 10,000 km endurance test to ensure that its quality

    was top-class. This was destined to be the first crystallization ofwhat has now become a long tradition of Yamaha creativity and

    an inexhaustible spirit of challenge.Then, in January of 1955 the

    Hamakita Factory of Nippon Gakki was built and production

    began on the YA-1. With confidence in the new direction that

    Genichi was taking, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. was founded on

    July 1, 1955. Staffed by 274 enthusiastic employees, the new

    motorcycle manufacturer built about 200 units per month.That

    same year, Yamaha entered its new YA-1 in the two biggest race

    events in Japan. They were the 3rd Mt. Fuji Ascent Race and the

    1st Asama Highlands Race. In these debut races Yamaha won the

    125cc class. And, the following year the YA-1 won again in both

    the Light and Ultra-light classes of the Asama Highlands Race.By

    1956, a second model was ready for production. This was the

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    19/24

    YC1, a 175cc single cylinder two-stroke. In 1957 Yamaha began

    production of its first 250cc, two-stroke twin, the YD1.Based on

    Genichi's firm belief that a product isn't a product until it can

    hold it's own around the world, in 1958 Yamaha became the first

    Japanese maker to venture into the international race arena. Theresult was an impressive 6th place in the Catalina Grand Prix

    race in the USA. News of this achievement won immediate

    recognition for the high level of Yamaha technology not only in

    Japan but among American race fans, as well. This was only the

    start, however.

    Yamaha took quick action using the momentum gained in the

    USA and began marketing their motorcycles through an

    independent distributor in California. In 1958, Cooper Motors

    began selling the YD-1 250 and the MF-1 (50cc, two-stroke, single

    cylinder, step through street bike). Then in 1960, Yamaha

    International Corporation began selling motorcycles in the USA

    through dealers.

    With the overseas experiences under his belt, in 1960, Genichi then

    turned his attention to the Marine industry and the production of

    the first Yamaha boats and outboard motors. This was the

    beginning of an aggressive expansion into new fields utilizing the

    new engines and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) technologies.

    The first watercraft model was the CAT-21, followed by the RUN-13

    and the P-7 123cc outboard motor.

    In 1963, Yamaha demonstrated its focus on cutting-edge,technological innovations by developing the Autolube System.

    This landmark solution was a separate oil injection system for

    two-stroke models, eliminating the inconvenience of pre-mixing

    fuel and oil. Yamaha was building a strong reputation as a

    superior manufacturer which was reflected in its first project

  • 8/14/2019 Project on Mktng Mgt (Logo Quiz)

    20/24

    carried out in the new Iwata, Japan Plant, built in 1966. (The

    YMC headquarters was moved to Iwata in 1972.) Toyota and

    Yamaha teamed up to produce the highly regarded Toyota 2000

    GT sports car. This very limited edition vehicle, still admired for

    its performance and craftsmanship, created a sensation amongenthusiast in Japan and abroad.

    MALAYSIA AIR

    Malaysia Airlines started its operation on 1987 after the airline

    changed its name fromMalaysian Airline System. It is founded in

    1947 by Malayan Airways. Then, it transformed to Malaysian

    Airways due to Malaysia gaining its independence. After that, it

    changes its name once more to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and

    thereafter ceased its operation. It was then divided into Malaysia

    Airlines and Singapore Airlines.

    Scheduled air passenger services in Malaya commenced in 1937

    when Wearnes Air Services (WAS) commenced operating

    services between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang.

    Wearnes Air Services was started by two Australian brothers,

    Theodore and Charles Wearnes.[9] The service commenced as a

    thrice weekly flight between Singapore and Penang The first

    flight, using an 8-seater de Havilland Dragon Rapide D.H.89A

    took place on 28 June 1937. This inaugural flight possiblydeparted from either the older Seletar Airport or the then brand

    new Kallang Airport. Later a second D.H.89A enabled the

    expansion to daily services as well as the addition of Ipoh as a

    destination. The WAS services ceased with the onset of the

    Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok via Penang. Flights were also

    introduced from Singapore to cities in the Borneo Territories,

    including Brunei, Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu), Kuching,

    Sandakan and Sibu.

    In 1957, the airline became a state-run stock corporation. With

    the delivery of an 84-seat Bristol Britannia in 1960, the airline

    launched its first long-haul international flight, to Hong Kong.

    When Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak formed the

    Federation of Malaysia in 1963, the airline's name was changed,

    from "Malayan Airways" to "Malaysian Airlines" (though stillabbreviated to MAS). MAS also took over Borneo Airways. In

    1966, following Singapore's separation from the federation, the

    airline's name was changed again, to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines

    (MSA). The next year saw a rapid expansion in the airline's fleet

    and routes, including the purchase of MSA's first Boeing aircraft:

    the Boeing 707s, as well as completion of a new high-rise

    headquarters in Singapore. Boeing 737s were added to the fleet

    soon afterward.

    The differing needs of the two shareholders, however, led to the

    break-up of the airline just 6 years later. The Singapore

    government preferred to develop the airline's international

    routes, while the Malaysian government had no choice but to

    develop the domestic network first before going regional and

    eventually international. MSA ceased operations in 1972, with its

    assets split between two new airlines; Malaysian Airline System

    (MAS)(now Malaysia Airlines),[15] and Singapore Airlines.

    With the Singapore government determined to develop Singapore

    Airlines' international routes, it took the entire fleet of seven

    Boeing 707s and five Boeing 737s, which would allow it to

    continue servicing its regional and long-haul international routes.

    Since most of MSA's international routes were flown out of

    Singapore, the majority of international routes were in the hands

    of Singapore Airlines. In addition, MSA's headquarters, which

    was located in Singapore, became the headquarters of that

    airline.

    The initials MSA were well regarded as an airline icon, and both

    carriers tried to use them. Malaysian went for MAS by just

    transposing the last two letters and choosing the name Malaysian

    Airline System, while Singapore originally proposed the name

    Mercury Singapore Airlines to keep the MSA initials, but

    changed its mind and went for SIA instead. Acronyms for airline

    names later became less fashionable, and both carriers then

    moved on to their descriptive names.

    Malaysian Airline System took all domestic routes within

    Malaysia and international routes out of that country, as well as

    the remaining fleet of Fokker F27's. It began flights on 1 October

    1972. Soon after that, Malaysia Airline System rapidly expandedits services, including introducing long-haul flights from Kuala

    Lumpur to London.

    In the same year, MAS operated flights to more than 34 regional

    destinations and six international services. In 1976, after

    receiving its DC-10-30 aircraft, MAS scheduled flights reached

    Europe, with initial services from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam,

    Paris and Frankfurt.

    An economic boom in Malaysia during the 1980s helped spur

    growth at Malaysia Airlines. By the end of the decade, MAS was

    flying to 47 overseas destinations, including eight European

    destinations, seven Oceania destinations, and the United States

    destinations of Los Angeles and Honolulu. In 1993, Malaysia

    Airlines reached South America when the airline received its

    B747 aircraft. When Malaysia Airlines introduced its service

    from Kuala Lumpur to South America, MAS became the first

    and only airline in Southeast Asia to serve South America via its

    flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Services extended to CentralAmerica when Malaysia Airlines began flying to Mexico City in

    the 1980s, which route was terminated in the 1990s.
