Be interesting to see if 9M-LRL, M and P are reconfigured into a 2 class layout as they are currently listed as having a Y180 cabin, which I believe the recently delivered -LRK features. 9M-LRG, H and J are their only current flying 737-8’s which feature a 2 class C12Y150 cabin in addition to those 3 random 738’s they’ve retained.

Another new entrant into the Batik/Malindo fleet is B38M 9M-LRK which was ordered by Lion Air as PK-LQR but was ntu, so she’s a 3 year old factory fresh 737-8 flying around in a mostly all-white livery with the Y180 Lion Air cabin.

Looks like the controversially reconfigured -MXV has finally re-entered service this morning on a KL-TWU-KL rotation. Does anyone know what they ended up doing with the J class cabin/seats?

737-8 9M-LRQ ex PK-LQJ appears to of entered service this afternoon on a KL-KCH-KL rotation, believe she wears the full Batik livery same as the factory fresh examples.

Hi jahur, any idea which frames will be transferred across to FY?

Another addition to Batik’s growing fleet is B38M 9M-LRR which is now in-service, ex PK-LQF. She wears the same livery as -LRT.

Does anyone know the reconfiguration schedule for the 738’s and which aircraft are being done? The only one which I’m aware of being done so far is -MXV and this hasn’t flown since it’s recent scratch and sniff launch a number of weeks ago. As a side note retrojet -MXA is now back in service after being in storage.

737-8 9M-LRT entered service this morning upon transfer operating a return to BKI then to KCH this arvo, ex PK-LQH. Believe she retains the Y180 Lion Air interior.

-LRJ is currently on her delivery flight as OD1.

737-8 PK-LQF which I believe is the future -LRR is parked near the B gates, wears same livery as -LRT.

Batik’s 737-8 9M-LRH is on its delivery flight from Boeing, operating as OD2 and is currently between HNL-GUM.

-MXV is flying with the retrofitted interior, looks smart and the colour palate is very MH.

With the recommencement of services announcements made earlier this week to MEL, SYD, PER, AKL, New Delhi, Seoul, Tokyo, Sapporo, Osaka, HNL, London, DXB and Istanbul is it safe to assume D7/AAX will reactivate those 8 stored A333’s currently at KUL? They only seem to have these 4 in active service -XXF, XXQ, XXR and XXZ + VAA which AK is using.
