Plenty of keyboard professors these days Great job from the guys in the front ! These things happen , and it could have been much worse , than just two blown tires ! But what interests me is , how did they know they had blown two tyres , or blown any tires for that matter ! Hit something on the take off roll probably ? Reminds me of the Concorde incident And I must say , it is extremely disappointing that they had to sit in the aircraft for so long before they were allowed to disembark , this is considering that they already knew that this aircraft had a problem just after take off. I noticed the person who posted the video saying that it was hot in the aircraft because there was no a/c , I think for the most part , it was not the A/C , but things were just so ' tense ' in there , because from the outside you can hear the APU is running

Well you can trust that , if they have decided to launch their route , they've put alot of thought into operating in and out of that airport , and have factored in the limitations of the aircraft . The new 738's engines are more powerful than the classics as well , and the size difference , between the B734 and the B738 is more or less negligible . B734 is 36.4m in length , compared to 39.47 on the -800's .... and the diameter of the fuselage is identical on both versions .

Would be the most sensible thing to do , especially since they are delaying their deliveries of the 320's They can look into the future and plan a conversion of those 320's or even bid to be the launch customer of the NEO

nice capture ! flightradar?

Interesting video ! Thanks for sharing!

Well its typical for the media to blow things out of proportion .... Especially since this airline is in the limelight for all sorts of little incidents in the past 2years was it ?

Perhaps the other airlines cover up well ? but who knows really . But this seems to be a very serious problem ! Fire caused by Window Heat , which is an automated system on this aircraft . Luckily the fire was somewhere they could reach instead of it being somewhere else and causing more irreversible damage mid air

Likewise on the new A330's and the 330's that AirAsia uses

Any reason as to why they changed to 5B6 ?

They all run on CFM's none run on IAE I think its CFM56 5B4

Hope they will consider a rebranding , current c/s looks very ' dry '

There are some times where they use the jumbo on National service routes ? when they are sending out the participants , but this one , also depends on luck , they might change aircraft at the last minute LH 74 is your best bet Be fast , she's fading away fast

The airport tax on this sector is daylight robbery

poor chap !

Anyone care to know what airline is nestled between firefly and silverfly ?

Sounds great , dying to try this ' boutique airline '

Fleet Manager goes to get the aircraft this time from Seattle .

Wow , am loving the paint scheme .. I remember there being an incident involving the MRTT and an F-16 Somehow it was not brought up here . But the incident affected both the bus and the F16

There was a thread about it somewhere in here too And I remember that some guys pulled out the ACARS data too from one site in PER that provides ACARS feeds

The heat will definitely break you down I'm sure Sri Ramani K. can shed some light on this

Situation looks chaotic . And I can only imagine , that they didn't carry the appropriate documents , to consider that airport as an alternate !

This , as they mentioned , is seriously a worst case scenario .... I'm sure Honeywell will come up with something to get over this I wonder if Thales will have something to say about this !

You can't compare the Malaysia Airlines one to this one Zamir .. The Malaysia Airlines one is a Full Flight Simulator

Mahathir was here at the Air Asia Academy today . Sign of things to come ?

And yet again , AirAsia are taking pilots in , for the MPL program Interviews being in the morning Anyone going for the interview ?
