I hope their safety is not compromised, that is crucial than a rushed flight anywhere

What a way to sweep the current issues under the carpet. Nothing is firmed, just a press release to gain attention for the mess they are in now and yet they get away with it. It would have been a bashing by now had it been another local carrier.

So what happened to community focused services by MAG for routes that may not require a narrow-body but instead a 70 to 120 seater? I think routes like PEN-KBR, PEN-KUA, PEN-TGG, KUA-JHB, KUA-IPH, PEN-MKZ, KUA-KCH for example can be launched with a smaller aircraft such as the A220 or ERJ or CRJ? Just an idea.

Also why commit to the AMAL flights if you dont have the equipment to do so? Where is MH in terms of serving the people? Don't get me wrong, I was an ardent supporter of MH but now, I still am but it does not bode well with the realities of MH today, no excuses given the quality and safety concerns it causes due to the lack of proper planning. Starting new routes and increasing frequencies are simply messed up with this lackadaisical planning for the near future. Oh well, Malaysia boleh kan?

Interesting how they don't cover these sort of inconveniences caused to full service passengers whereas if it was a certain budget carrier, there will a huge bombarding by now. Lol !! Anyway, this needs urgent attention. How can they be making profits at the expense of quality and safety? Where is Mavcom or even the Transport Minister for all these issues?

No media coverage on this mess?

True that, but they could also market it well for nearby residences to take the train to the city, with limited stops, workers around the area to commute to/from the airport area, etc. Just adding on to the value of the service and perhaps they would find it feasible after all, who knows

The Skypark Train should commence to provide accessibility to passengers, wonder why they would not make that a priority if they deem the need to restart SZB with jet operations? Again, not all passengers want to take Grab or Limo services, right? Hope they spruce up the bus services - maybe an express bus to Glenmarie Station or KL Sentral; non-stop

Nice to see MH add capacity. However, as many have pointed out, the poor fleet management and planning will result in delays, frustrated passengers, long lasting bad memories flying with delays on MH (not AK surprisingly) and also AOGs. The relaxed visa exemption for both China and India are doing justice to MH, AK, OD, D7 and other carriers too. They should have relaxed the visa's many years ago. We have since lost to SIN and BKK surely but jaguh kampung mindset has put KUL at a lower benchmark than SIN and BKK and soon to be CGK/HAN/SGN among others. Hope to see visa exemptions for non-ASEAN countries like Sri Lanka (CMB and JAF) and Africa with the resumption of services to NBO and beyond. Just my two cents.

On my recent flight from CMB to KUL, I witnessed a man (Mandarin speaking East Asian) rummaging through the hand luggage of passengers. I initially thought he was checking his wife's bag for some stuff but later discovered he was doing that with other seat compartments as well. I was suspicious about the man's movement but decided not to judge till the flight landed. Once we landed, I discovered that the lady had no connection with him and he knew I was suspicious of him and kept turning to look at me even at the terminal. I have heard of people like this on many flights, especially between KUL and China. Lesson of the day is to ensure locks and if handbags are to be kept on the compartments above, then it is best to have your important belongings with you at the seat. Shocking but these are new style robbery.

They are not really listening, are they? 🧐🧐🧐

Haha it was an actual QR aircraft and a B789. Food was so so only. Maybe coz it was a special meal.

Ah no wonder the meal on my QR flight recently was so-so only.

Looks like there is an issue with India and Australia; where the airlines of Malaysia fly there multiple times a day and yet not a single carrier from their side (minus Indigo). Wondering if MH, AK, D7 and OD are so fabulous that their counterparts dare not compete with them 🤣
