CM will be at this event. http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/capa-australia-pacific-aviation-summit-aviation-industry-leaders-to-gather-in-brisbane-3-5-august-293165 All are on standby for more leakages.

I was at KLIA on 4 July 2016 at around 4 pm and there was an EK A380 at Gate C27. I think that was flight EK346/347. I was again at KLIA at around midnight and there was an EK A380 too. That should be flight EK342/343 I guess. So yeah, EK has been sending at least 2 A380s daily to KUL since early July 2016.

Not Bellew. Or will he submits?

My key issue is MH has gone through this whole LCC path in the past (remember those MH's 0 Fare, snackbox, Firefly jet competing with MH mainline on same routes etc) and they failed miserably. What makes Bellew or anyone think it will be different this time around? I don't get it. "Fool me twice, shame on me" - Hello MH?

I have a bad feeling about this. In a city with many airports, it is common for a flag carrier to operate in many of them. BA for example, operate in LHR, LGW, LCY and since last month STN, which is the biggest LCC airport in the UK. But then again, MH is nowhere the size of BA and KLIA2/LCCT2 is just merely a terminal sitting next to KLIA/MTB, not spread out like London's 6 airports. Kuala Lumpur is also no London in many parameters (even post Brexit). With Bellew coming onboard from Ryanair, and all of us here suddenly have a moment of dejavu, the whole idea is just screaming Firefly jet fiasco all over again. Understood all CEOs want to leave a personal mark, but can someone tell him that this one is done and failed and hurt MH badly. The deviation of business direction from Mueller's 12 points plan is faster than the fasting hours in the UK. Which destinations is defined as leisure? Langkawi? Miri? Tawau? Is MH going to operate to these destinations from both MTB and KLIA2/LCCT2? As pointed out above, if MH is going to remove some destinations to KLIA2/LCCT2 because it is deemed as "leisure", it will create a problem of connection for passengers. As mentioned above too, assuming MH will operate these leisure flights with its existing aircraft, the cabin will remain as it is which mean J will still be available and MH may need to provide lounge access for J pax through a 3rd party provider at KLIA2/LCCT2. So what's the "leisure" in it if it is still the same? If MH has a plan for a new sub brand with a single class configuration, then this is Firefly jet fiasco all over again as mentioned above. With or without Firefly jet v.2, I personally think this will still be a failure for MH. Seriously, you guys just have a profit once in many years why don't just stick to what you have been doing since Mueller took helm? In the end, all CEOs want to tunjuk pandai and push for their own personal aganda, be it local or foreigners. And to us, enjoy watching or participating in the circus. Edit: I would however, support this idea if MH moves its entire operation including its A380 flights to KLIA2/LCCT2 if Bellew is too concern about cost.

jani and Azwan Zahdi.

You might know something but the original leakage at post #222 contained 3 key rumours: 1. EK job offer 2. Child custody; and 3. An affair My sources are saying that all 3 are true. But I think the order of importance among the 3 which led to his departure from MH is 2-3-1. 2 is actually the main reason for everything. 3 is happening/happened while 2 is ongoing "but it is hardly an issue" quoting my sources. And 1 is actually CM's career plan post MH while managing issue 2. He can't be unemployed, can he? I actually think the corruption bit in that news article is a hoax. Anyway l am pretty confident that CM will drop more bombs in the future if there is element of corruption within MH which led to his departure.

Are you sure about that? It could come from the same designer of the Kuala Lumpur City logo.

Now that the EK job rumour has been confirmed and reported in many websites, below is the partly original leakage as I received it prior to the directive to "trim it down" at post #222 above, for clarity purpose:

Don't shoot the messenger if any of it is untrue. But credit to the team of leaking spies!

Ok guys, all the OT discussions have been removed to the Golden Lounge if you wish to continue. A spy from "high above" has just leaked what is considered the most reliable rumour for this topic todate: Note: Edited from original post per request to "trim it down".

What a coup! Congrats Malindo. So now can we expect more Malindo flights to Australia and more TK flights into KUL (from 2 daily at the moment)?

So all the retro painting huhas is just a very wasted excercise. Papentah MAB kelaut sokmo. Well at least now 1 B744 less to worry about.

Royani's latest mishap made it to BBC News. For the juiciest of comments, go to the same news at Facebook, which has so far generated 380 comments.

And lots of pax and staff are gonna me-Royan. Gila meroyan = gone beserk

You are leaving Hong Kong? Reply my PM now.

Quite the opposite happens. We (my team of spies and I) thought that there will be more flights from KUL on EK metal after the parnership e.g. DXB-KUL-BNE, DXB-KUL-AKL etc but instead the existing DXB-KUL-MEL service is dropped. Soon that KUL will lose 1 daily flight, can we expect the existing 3 to be all A380?

It is good that D7 has a solid presence in OOL. Gold Coast is the host of 2018 Commonwealth Games.

The 1 A380 which completed maintenance recently (MNA?), is it just a regular maintenance or they really installed Y+ cabin in it? Doesn't seem like a good business decision to reconfigure the aircraft only to park it in 2 years time.

I think they should construct a pedestrian tunnel from MTB to Satellite under/next to the aerotrain viaduct/tunnel. Worst case scenario (trains go kaput and no buses) pax would just have to walk. Good for Plan B/emergency too.

Malaysian version of IAG?

OMG, do they really need 6 A359 on top of 6 A380 (assuming the 6 A380 will stay since nobody wants them on the secondary market)? I hope Mueller is involved in this decision and there's a solid reason for it.

Wow, Malaysian Cik Kiahs are gonna attack Mauritius in 3... 2... 1...
