But not at the right price. Used B737NG is highly in demand right now due to delays in new aircraft delivery and hundreds of PW A320/21N out of service due to PW engine issues.

Sad that FY dont have their free hands in fleet selection and aircraft numbers. Seems like their growth potential will be greatly restricted if things remain status quo. With OD and AK adding metals like there is no tomorrow. I wonder how viable will FY jet ops be in the future with limited resources.

9M-FFF is seen to be wrapped up at an open bay near KUL MTB. Going to FY soon perhaps?

Perhaps due to positioning of aircraft to operate their China charters ex-TWU.

Incorrect. They will still be classified under their respective "Suku Kaum".

Heard from insiders that MH is exploring A321neo XLR. With some leased A320ceo's coming ahead of the A321neo should the deal materialize.

Current generation NB like the B737NG's and A320ceo's are able to meet the noise requirement through NADP. (Noise Abatement Departure Procedure) or usage of idle reverse upon landing in normal conditions.

Also due to the fact that now MOT allows any type of narrowbody jet to operate out of SZB. Previously only limited to regional jet type below 150pax capacity when the SZB jet ops was mooted back in early 2023. Hence SKS thought they would be able to monopolize SZB jet ops with their E-jets. At that time, OD, FY, AK and other interested parties were not keen to invest in a new type. Not until MOT lifted that restriction lately allowing B737/A320 to operate. Whatever economic advantage the E-jets or equivalent (possibly A220) had got completely wiped out. More established players like AK, FY and OD literally don't need to invest anything to operate out of SZB as early as tomorrow. While SKS had to start from scratch with a higher cost base. With all this headwind, no sane corporation would want to invest in SKS.

All got their own individual KPI’s to think about, nothing beyond their scope. Forever silo.

Heard MVC hit some snags on the first day of operation. APU failed to start on the 3rd sector. Passengers had to exit the aircraft only to board back the same aircraft from a different gate, causing massive delay on the evening flt to BKI. Scary considering this is a brand new aircraft. MH and Boeing really need to buck up.

They are also not paying much attention to the rise of Indian carriers, with Indigo, Vistara and Air India now flying direct to key south east asian routes. Its only a matter of time before they realize why yields/loads are deteriorating on their south asia network. By then its too late. Good luck MH. Not to mention they are now adding routes and frequencies on the kangaroo route.

Whichever boss who decided to give it a go with the 737 below LCC level seat refurbishment should be sacked. The downfall of the product standard is solely his/her responsibility.

Lets agree to disagree, MH food now is way better than Brahim's time. In terms of taste, portion and the monthly menu change.

With MH already operating like a LCC, its best they handover back all airframes to MH and consolidate. Already MH is struggling with shortage of aircraft due to poor fleet planning and replacement.

Yesterday's KUL-ATQ was operated using A332.
