Lets hope that the people's rights defender makes his thoughts known on this!

We don't know the details yet, but why isn't this true? MH only has presence in Europe at LHR. Could it be that after this, you can buy MH tickets to CDG, FRA, ZRH etc and be routed through SIN? Curious to see what Tun would say about this. Perhaps all is indeed being blown out of proportion and this is just a simple tie up, similar to the JL deal few weeks back.

There are so many other airlines they can tie up with, not SQ.

Other than back-end stuff (MRO etc), I don't see any benefit to this at all. For both MH and the country. It just means SQ will get to pull even more pax from Malaysia for themselves. Terrible move.

Sorry, what does the "per" in Per/KM and Per Min mean

Wonder if currently there is excess demand relative to capacity? Can only think of London

Can't really see the whole seat but I've been on the TK seat, it's not the most fancy nor wide but damn it is long ensuring you are able to have a full stretch to sleep as width isn't as important. In that sense, MH is the worst whereby you barely have any space for your feet under the seat in front.

Wow that sucks. Although I have encountered the same with AirAsia, which has ensured that I spend the RM6 to book the seats

One doesn't preclude the other. Also note I mentioned Mitsui.

They are going to build a Mitsui Outlet Mall opposite the terminal

Who? Tengku Azmil?

It was a stupid idea for sure but damn the overreaction here is crazy. (As usual, I might add).

My personal view - unlikely.

Hmm.. I thought this was already done? At least partially? Maybe I am wrong. Should ask someone who works at MAHB

Then the airport will sustain on PSC alone? haha

"Singapore, for instance, has a strong domestic demand" ? Overall, I'm not sure how his points correlate to having a single operator as the problem?

This. All these weird groups come forward wanting to buy. Where are they getting the money? Hope the government is smart enough to sell MAS to the right companies ie other global players.

Thanks for the reviews Azizul. Oman's airport is relatively new so surely one to visit/transit. Need to read up Oman Air's Biz product. Seems the cheapest of the lot if traveling to LHR. What worries me, like your review, is the KUL-MCT leg where the aircraft might be a bit older.

You can even send me your resume Drop me a message

Thank you sir. I just decided to stop replying...

Ha, I thought so! Thought it was weird the ticketing agent was the entity signing

Well, for CAPEX, actually a big chunk. Not only that, considering how specialized airport equipment are, mostly will be based on foreign currency. Look, my point is simple: Changi earns more and thus is able to spend more. Hence why I used MYR as a base. Is this even an argument? Again, this is a simple comparison with hundreds of other factors to consider. I already stated this upfront yet you want to nitpick on it. Is Changi the gold standard in the airport industry? Yes Can KLIA be better? Definitely yes Is KLIA and Changi a fair comparison? No. The contexts are just too different. I don't have Changi's numbers but you can bet that PSC is also a small component of their numbers... Sorry but what are you trying to point out?

1. I already said it was a simplistic comparison 2. Even if you wanted to start a debate on PPP (wow, so technical), are you telling me SGD43 and RM43 goes the same way? 3. Would an aerotrain or BHS system cost different in SG or MY? Come on bro what the...

I'm glad that you agree that airport charges remain a huge contributor towards how an airport can be. Lets just look at a simple comparison between KUL and SIN in terms of what they collect (purely from airport tax, and not commercial revenue): Airport Tax (PSC) SIN Airport Development Levy SGD10.80 Passenger Service Charge SGD32.90 Avg per pax = SGD43.70 = ~RM130 KUL Passenger Service Charge Domestic (~27%) = RM11 ASEAN (~35%)= RM35 International (ex-ASEAN) (~38%) = RM73 Blended Avg per pax = RM43 Its a very, very simplistic way of looking at the situation, but Changi literally collects three times more money per pax than KLIA. Not to mention that they have slightly more pax anyway. Again, I am unwilling to actually debate in all the conversation here because mostly I end up just smiling at the comments, but the above is a very easy way to understand how different the contexts are.
