MAS to extend 747-400 services until February 2013 From Here And 9M-MPF has been send to Roswell for storage : Here

Should be Amsterdam instead of Paris

But MAS woudn't use the 380 on this route yet

They should use either an A320 or 737 for this route

Is that the MAS 777 at the back of the Virgin Australia A332 decommissioned

MAS should utilize flights from Kansai to Los Angeles daily since no airlines fly there

But Air China can make a stop in Xiamen before continuing to KLIA

Also happened on SIA A380 flight from Singapore - Frankfurt - New York flight last month when crew reported a surge in one of its four engines.

Those 6 A380's should be named after the Prime Ministers of Malaysia just as they did naming the cities & islands to their old 747's

Did anybody see the MAS 777 there

But SIA use A380 on SIN-NRT-LAX Route

Singapore Airlines has 19 77Ws, Garuda has ordered 10 of them which is scheduled for 2011 & Thai Airways has 6 orders. MAS is pathetic, didn't order or lease a single one.

That means MAS should take over this route.
