    In other countries if an airline keeps suspending routes on short notice the aviation regulatory will limit the ability to apply routes and slot. Meanwhile in msia and murica u can cincai apply on the basis of testing new untapped market except with no gov support and tourism/economy marketing majority are going into kamikazi zone. Also applies to MAG and Batik Msia inconsistent handling on many new routes.

    I have no issue on this. As they need to test the route market. Some routes been forced by local gov eg Sibu-Singapore which Airasia willing to giv a chance for them to test the market, y not? 

    The only route did not mention in the article is the KL Dalat route, the route din even revive but open for sale, I bought it but luckily Airasia willing to refund for me. I believe that is why Airasia did not mention the suspended route as it nvr revive... 

     

    BKI <-> PEN is not in the list, i wonder why ...

    Also, there is no flight between Kuching <-> Jakarta after March 2024... going to suspend also?

    I don't think people fancy flying so many hours in a LCC type aircraft paying FSC fares. If Batik Air Malaysia intends to do more medium haul routes with their narrow bodies, they should reconfigure their cabins for that purpose.

    Yes, only 9M-LRG/H and J are in mixed configuration, the rest of 737MAX will remain in all-Y. They will keep this configuration for some time based on what I have read on the CEO's facebook page. Those ex-GA B737-800NG will also be in its original (GA) configuration for some time. Ex-D7 A330-330 as well, they cannot afford to have any airframe in downtime for reconfiguration to meet its operation demand.

    Not sure how well are they doing, their KUL-TPE is almost always empty, but TPE to Japan destinations are full.

    Btw, saw the Wamos Air A330 at AKL last month when I visited New Zealand. God smack, the boarding area was filled to the brim.

    But the load factor for AUG 2023 between KUL-TPE is 60% which is better than MH...

  3. The express load is better than transit? Y only improve the frequency for express?

    Or the current rail system with mix express and transit can only improve on express schedule?

    It will be better to have 15 min for transit schedule too since the weekday peak hour can archive that frequency.


  4. I believe the current KKIA has issue on the terminal, eg: arrival immigration area (flooded when I withnessed 5 KL planes arrived within 30 minutes due to delays), no crowd at within Sabah arrival/departure, and ATR departure zone at far end.

    Single runway actually can handle many many planes and the runway length is sufficient for everything else.Widebody planes are limited also but KKIA can park max 5 planes.

    btw, i also like the current location whereby i can thake less than RM10 grab car to the city centre at night...

    Some tidbits from recent Townhall:

    1. Capt Izham acknowledged customer service shortcomings, especially via call center. Previously I saw a tender to set up call center in Malaysia for MAG, are they bringing the call center back to our own shore?

    2. Network: Increase frequencies to CGK, DPS, HKG and PVG. Grow current markets (Australia and New Zealand). New market, possibly IST. New destinations: Kolkata, Amsterdam/Paris and Karachi. Widebody to high demand routes: SIN and DAC

    3. Fleet: 737 MAX arrival in July, August, October and November 2023 -> will be delayed now since Boeing halted 737max delivery again few days ago (!!)

    4. Firefly: BKI hub officially opens on May 17, 2023, intra Sabah and some Sabah-Sarawak route transfers to FY, end of 2023 MH will transfer its BKI-NRT and BKI-TPE to FY, new route to 2nd tier destination in China

    5. Service: New menu, buy on board meals, book online meals, MAX same cabin as refreshed NG, complimentary wifi for Enrich Plat/ Gold, MHFlex and J class, new amenity kits, blanket and pillow

    Interesting time ahead......

    how about KCH - SIN? i think it is the only MH flight non-KUL.

    Looks like MAHB is now progressively updating its website. This is good to see. Spot any mistake?

    seems like the bus route doable with 3 buses .... but thr will be 24/7 15 minutes bus or no bus at midnight? i prefer they make the timetable eg KLIA transit/express so I can know the exact departure time..

    btw, KLIA T2 go to T1 require 20 minutes....

  8. If not mistake for Airasia group if load is not 75% consistently in 3months I'll be up for consideration for termination. Fsc are also doing this kind of thing now but with slightly lower load margin. In the 90s airlines would only axe if loads is below 30%.

    then what is the min criteria for them to add frequency for existing route? eg, 3weekly to daily. daily to twice daily etc
