  1. MH is not expected to make money with government intervention. Practically, it's sensible to say that in order for a multinational company to survive and profitable, it requires accountability, good governance and transparency. How do you expect MH to make money when the current government is silent on corruption, power abuse and discrimination?


  2. Forget it, this nation is full of people who knows how to promise. In the past, millions are gone by the previous management without the need to pay back. It remain doubtful the national airline can be profitable as the leaders of this boleh land continues to remain as corrupt as never been before......


  3. Those moron or sucker is only good of empty talk than delivering, years of delay and yet the airport construction work still not yet 100% completed at this moment. Different contractor is now in charge of the project, not to mention the pending legal suit from Global Upline Sdn Bhd. A single runway by 2056 is a laughing matter for others. Should anyone believe this moron who are good at giving illusion than turning thing into reality, I guess it's as good as telling others that elephant does fly like a bird.

    History just repeat itself, A350 was on the table when MH ordered A33E and will become uncompetitive by 2 years time.

    Exactly, history has proven how inefficient of the bad planning of the management. By looking at past record, this aircraft is expected to be around for another 10-15 years of which by then should be considered outdated when the A350xwb and B777X are in service. These aircraft are far more fuel efficient than the A33E, considering of the high fuel price of more than $100. Besides, tight cash flow which may be one of the biggest constraint, the management simply is incapable of turning the airline into profitability. The survival of the airline depends solely on the funding from the tax payer's $. MH is thus outdated and the model is will gradually obsolete should the management continue to remain stubborn. Other factor counts in, the stupidity of the government in power, which continue to fund the airlines thus making it relying it on the 'free money' .


  5. MH is far lacking in long term planning. With government influence and interference, it is not going anywhere and head to head competing with world premium airlines such as EK, SQ, CX etc. It's a great shame that MH has been relying on government aid, and the latest by way of Sukuk, at tax payer expense. The national airlines is thus unable to progress with those corrupted government around.


  6. History reveals that inefficiencies in MH management. For instance, fleet renewal only comes in when the aircraft is in urgent replacement. By looking at the past trend, management only decide fleet renewal when the aircraft has been in the service for around 15 years. In the next 5 years most airlines will be operating the B737 max/ A320 neo, B787/ A350 xwb. Needless to say that these aircraft is far more fuel efficient than the fleet that MH operates. The management is slow in responding to environment changes. Not to mention that MH is often locked in situation to serve national interest / politician interest vs profitable objectives. Routes often pulled out are reinstated at the later stage with political influence. Thus, it is fair to conclude that it is by no way that MH can be efficient and profitable by operating in this intense competition environment.


  7. Extracted from HK Express website:


    In late 2012, the shareholders of Hong Kong Express commenced a feasibility study into creating Hong Kong’s first true low cost airline (LCC) and with the announcement on 26 June 2013, the transformation of Hong Kong Express into an LCC officially commenced. Focusing on low fares and on-time reliability, Hong Kong Express will bring true competition to the Hong Kong market and surrounding region.



    A completely separate management team was formed from the existing Hong Kong Express management team and LCC professionals recruited from both Hong Kong and around the LCC services will commence on 27thOctober 2013. Hong Kong Express will operate an initial fleet of five Airbus A320 aircrafts with seating for up to 174 guests. As our list of destinations grows, the fleet is planned to grow to over 30 Airbus A320’s by 2018 , operating one of the world’s youngest fleets and bringing even greater choice to Hong Kong and Asia travellers.
