    Not sure how MI and FY jet are even comparable. The former was a full-service regional airline that was closely integrated with SQ. When did FY jet become such an airline?

    I guess you are right. Which actually begs the question what is Firefly (Jet) actually? The turboprops serves a niche out of SZB. The jet?

    I just don't really understand why must MAG have two brands. It is not as if MH is such a premium luxury brand that it must be distinguished.

    Am intrigued that while SIA closed its sister airline Silk Air, MAG expands its own.

    Time will tell who made the better business decision.

    For me, I think SQ's approach makes more sense. Unless Firefly is supposed to compete against Scoot and AirAsia.

    Interesting times.

    Except it sometimes feels like the tortoise is the one sleeping in this race 😁😭

     

    Anyway, hope that these A339s are just renewals of existing and ageing fleet, before the real purchase for expansion/return to Europe is decided soon.

     

    Also, please MH... decide what is your livery...

    Good job to members here (Jahur was it?) that leaked this info. Keep them coming.

    Am a bit mixed about it. It surely is more cost efficient for them and almost everyone has their own device now. Wonder if the new seats will feature something to keep your device in place? A holder of some sort.

    mh or kul couldn't add much value to qr network, doubt Akbar Al Baker would even consider.

     

    For QR, not much. But for IAG, I think yes, especially if you can get QF to move to KUL from SIN.

    KUL becomes OW hub while MH serves regional destinations for IAG.

    Malaysia Airlines to commence second daily flight to Doha from 01Aug2022

    MH164/165 will also be operated by A330

    MH164 KUL0255 – 0515DOH 333 D
    MH160 KUL2120 – 2350DOH 333 D

    MH161 DOH0150 – 1440KUL 333 D
    MH165 DOH0805 – 2055KUL 333 D

    Reservations are not open yet so still subject to change

     


     

     

    So we will now see 3x DOH per day? 2x MH 1x QR? Or will QR exit?

     

    Speaking about all these lack of strategy and funding etc, should just ask Qatar to buy MH through IAG, who they own 25% of already 😁

    Although half joking, it does make some sense from a network point of view.

    I am already back in KL, and everything was actually pretty smooth thankfully. Even arrival immigration took only about 30 mins and baggage was waiting for us once finished at LHR.

    Speaking of lack of statf, surprised to find EK's ground operations at KUL handled by AirAsia... I mean GTR (Ground Team Red)

    😁😁😁

    No complaints though, well done to them

    Hi guys, it's fun to talk about our passion again - especially after having flown again after so long 😁

     

    Anyway, recently took an EK flight to LHR via DXB and back. It was packed to the brim on all four legs.

    LHR sector was on A380 while KUL unfortunately was on 77W, which is a nightmare in 3-4-3 Y config.

    I haven't followed the industry much thanks to COVID but am back excited again, so do we know when the A380s will come back online to KUL? And will their 3rd frequency return anytime soon? Appreciate the discussion guys 😁

    Don't know if you guys read.. Captain Izham said the idea might be to close down MH.. Use Firefly AOC for 6 months.. then rename to "Malaysia" again because Firely won't be known internationally.

    They have even registered code MY with IATA.

    EDIT: Sorry I just realized that MY is MASwings. But yeah that's what he said.
