8 minutes ago, Craig said:MH has canceled several flights to/from Sarawak and Sabah due to Mt. Ruang's eruption in North Sulawesi. You'd think that this would be more prominent on their website but no, it's like a small rotating ticker at the top.
Speaking of disaster-management, a friend is stuck at DXB because EK have been poor in communicating issues as well. However of course the magnitude in scale is much more significant

Yeah, and it's just a politically correct answer. He's not gonna say "It doesn't make sense for us to open a MAN route" when he just launched Man Utd as a partner two weeks ago 😆

Which is about 30% higher than KUL.. or otherwise almost 100% higher if you count ASEAN, which I imagine is significant bulk of traffic.

42 minutes ago, Craig said:I believe it was 2019 that the then PH government introduced the departure levy after swapping GST for SST (because GST casts a wider net compared to SST and there was significant shortfall). This is supposed to mimic UK's APD. It's supposed to be based on the passenger's final destination (e.g. TG's KUL-BKK-HKG departure levy should be the same as KUL-HKG on MH/CX/AK) rather than the first international destination. I have seen fares where it was calculated based on the first international destination instead of the final even though it's a <24H transit at the ASEAN city.
Ah, okay. I was confused between the PSC and Departure Levy.
MH indeed are the biggest losers. I liked their sarcastic argument a few years back saying they should move to KLIA2 as well

16 hours ago, Craig said:Departure levy is charged based on first international destination (SQ, TG etc. will have lower departure levy compared to MH for say a KUL-LHR/HKG route)
Mind explaining this part? Not sure I understand

I agree with most if not all criticism of MAHB/KLIA but I'm not sure how them charging a premium for the most desirable parking spots is anything wrong. Especially as the other parking spots aren't exactly inconvenient.
If MAHB wanted to "maximize revenue" then they should make PSC rates equal to its regional peers. Not sure how they can compete with the likes of BKK and SIN who charge RM97 and RM232 for flights to KUL while we only charge RM40.

Sorry, what's wrong with this?

Felt this had subsided slightly, but seems to have resurfaced relatively recently.

In recent days, viral on social media of terrible delays by Batik. My family members also not spared, with delays reaching 5 hours out of CGK. Anyone knows what's up?

To be fair pax might be even more wary of newer 737s (MAX)

Why is it so hard for airlines in Malaysia to be consistent in their livery?🤣

haha.. What about KUL-ARN-EWR?
I used to take that sometimes when I was studying. Forgot the flight code

1 minute ago, JuliusWong said:Yes, Singapore, Denpasar, Hong Kong and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. AirAsia Malaysia also leased an ex-D7 A330-300 9M-VVA. It did mostly KUL-BKI last time. Now it is in storage.
Did those fly with a D7 code? As I recall it was as you say, a "lease" from D7 to AK, meaning it was still AK

On 11/21/2023 at 11:04 AM, JuliusWong said:Yes, I was thinking the same actually. Was googling for MVB and MVC photo, but couldn't find any, even those at the Boeing production site. Perhaps the reporters heard Izham said they WERE supposed to get FOUR this year, but due to recent grounding and rework only TWO will arrive this year.

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but it really bothers me that on just one side of the plane, there are three different Waus.
1. The tail Wau, which is non-Italic (I think the retro Wau)
2. The winglet Wau, which is Italic (The present Wau)
3. The "Sustainable" something something Wau near the door, which is in the opposite direction of the other Waus,
-
Wonder if there has ever been an instance where both AK and D7 fly the same route?
-
Latest rumor is that the new CEO has also resigned..
-
Do we know how the interior looks like? Or is it the same as the latest 737 offering ie no IFE
-
I wonder if their standard reply to refunds is still "we are waiting for investors".. Not sure who will put up money for an airline that has no airplanes.... or even a license now
-
21 hours ago, flee said:CAAM should make it a requirement for airlines to purchase insurance to cover refunds to pax in event of business difficulties. It would be like professionals who take up professional indemnity insurance in case they are sued for professional misconduct or malpractice.
Which the airlines would just pass to pax hence tix price will increase
-
Who will invest in this mess? Especially when your first order of business is to pay RM22 million refunds. Money down the drain for any investor.

Can we fly PEN-HKT?

Wow, what a reply
Sorry, didn't know flight duration and lounge use are related 🤣

To be honest I think LCCT is better. Because you know what you are getting. It was built for LCC.
T2 - What exactly is it? It's not really low cost, but all the features are striped away. It's poorly built, ugly, and the design and flow is freaking terrible. Don't even get me started on immigration...
We really had a big opportunity to build something right to cater for the LCC boom but failed spectacularly.
