Will we see MH taking doing something similar. Perhaps RM 200 every hour plus 500 enrich miles every hour ? not forgetting business class pax at least 2x's more.......
-
It's simple, yield to KUL is very low that it is not worth flying in. These flights may be full, but the revenue per km is not good enough to justify that it can sustain and compete with other routes within JQ/QF network.
Similar to MAN routes from our region that was previously operated by MH, CX ( late 1990s) and QF ( once before). Another fine example LHR - KUL by BA, loads extremely good , but yield was really low.
Not forgetting the operating cost of these carriers may be high and normally the asian carriers would have better operating cost per km.
-
Possible,
thrice weekly with 738 flights via somewhere in India.
Don't forget those snackboxes as inflight meals and operated by just 3 cabin crew -- a definate low cost value carrier !
-
Nobody pays 100% on delivery time. There are the downpayments, progress payments and the final payment when MH gets the "keys." Before final payment, MH would have arranged external financing for the aircraft.Even the payments are in stages, the fact remains that there will be an outflow of USD 1.2 billion from our malaysian coffers.
-
And MH will get the A380 from Jan 2011 and the last to be delivered in Aug 2011. So, all 6 in 8 mths.Assuming each of those whale will cost us malaysians USD 200 million ( inclusive interior) ; This would simply equates to USD 1.2 billion out of Malaysian Circulation within eight months ! Our economy would be in deficit for eight months, unless there's a sudden boom for Malaysian products and services in the International Market.
Unless some are on Sale and Leaseback like SQ does.
-
NOT forgetting increasing fares and compromising the meal service. Not just in EYCL, even in the premium GCCL are now being served with just cold sandwiches instead of the hot savories for Peninsular Flights.
; Golden Lounge @ JHB has been shut and yet we are still paying the same fare. Common have some sense! Business travellers do travel busineess class for the service in the air and on the ground ; definately not to Sedekah MH!

Huge SIGH.Since 2000 I have proposed for Mh to let me have two B737s configured all biz class to run HKG, SIN, BKK and JKT but was told the idea was far fetched. Told them to give me two years then pat my back if successful, or kick my butt if not but no one took the idea seriously.
Also told them to let me have 2 B737s configured all EY to run low cost to BKI, TWU, MYY & KCH, but no joy too.
Good thing they let me have this little patch of Charter sandbox to play in.
Back to topic, this Biz Class move by SQ.....does this mean they are building on the experience of the Super EY flights to LAX? How successful was that ?
That's a brilliant idea!
-
Don't mean to bash anyone here;
Capt Nik, what makes MH special and superior than others ( say SQ / TG or EK) ? And what will attract a person like me that appreciates good service (food, Entertainment, amenities...not just the good crew) and route network ( direct and regular ) as I do have tight shedules but do need to be on regular move regionnally and globally?
-
Turbulence Queen. Doesn't take much to bounce it around.For MH, the 'workers don't like it bcoz of Galley set up, IFE and route structure....no nice nightstops.......
If MH staff is not happy, why keep them as it is? The very least is to improve them ( at least to be on par with your 772s) ; Afterall, in business, good profitable and sustainable revenue would come when the employee is happy ( in this case to operate them ) . Or is your managemt does not listen to the employee's problems?
I must agree that the A330 , is aesthetically pleasing, but the performance wise does not look that good for long haul ( except the A330-200).
-
the true Best cabin staff and meal ever experienced ; Therefore the best airline is SR - ( too bad they are no longer with us); MH used to be almost that good in the late 70's and late 90's but not today.
Aircraft - DC- 10

MH - Malaysian Hospitality, just like home?
Don't think so,
Back in my typical malay kampung in Kelantan, Nasi Dagang or Nasi Kerabu would normally be served with the very best dishes / fork and spoon as part of our culture to treat guests and relatives whenever they visited us; similarly during this festive chinese new year for chinese communities with the tempting Yee Sang;
And MAS is saying that they are focussed for the best Malaysian Hospitality and yet just serve Sandwich Boxes, less cabin staff, "antique" planes" - this sounds more like the American Hospitality!
The only true Malaysian Hospitality here is "cakap banyak" on BTP but slow action. i.e. where are the new planes? and where is the enhanced products?
Common MH; u can do much better !
-
This is my late Grand Uncle, boarding a flight from Kota Bharu to an unknown destination...I would guess that it is Penang. Since he is from Penang.Date is 2 September 1984. My guess is a F50.
That's an F27, the aircraft was originally delivered to MSA. Then (1984), the F27 was operated to KBR daily on the KUL - IPH - PEN - KBR routing - may be the longest and most hops route within the Peninsular .
F50 was only delivered to MH in 1989.
-
First and foremost - MH and SQ must get those bloody fares down ! It's totally illogical. The Joint Shuttle may stay but please make them more affordable.
Two - LCC should be allowed. But with limited rights!
Why ?
1 JHB will loose out. Senai would no longer be the so call southern hub.
2 Johore Bahru would loose out . Bad for Malaysian Economy
3 Singapore stand to gain a lot more than Malaysia, as this would further enhance SIN position as an air hub. Considering KUL coverage is insignificant compared to SIN
4 AK may gain but at the expense of Johore economy. As a Malaysian, I feel like that is more like killing a member of your own family!
-
Overbooked flights with low yield tickets - no point. It's rather silly. Therefore proper sales management and ticket pricing are essential.
Unless, if overbooked with good yield tickets ; this justifies for larger aircraft. .
If , F/P loads are low, where as C / J / Y / K M /Q tickets are high - than it is time for MH to consider aircraft with high density from the mid cabin to the back.
In this case , maybe to refurbished some of the 744 with just Club and Economy may be practical in the interim. This would therefore justifies for 77W / 380 / 789 as long term fleet replacement.
-
....the move will have an impact on MH , good for budget consumers and this is a way of ensuring MH to be on the toes at all times.
So, MH, what's your next move?
p/s Don't forget SQ with their new products as well!
-
MAS should be willing to fly to all destinations suggested but with a condition attached.......i.e. any losses inccured, should be paid by the person / ministry / government that has suggested. Maybe add at least 10% of profit margin as part of profit margin. This will ensure that MAS remains in the black while flying all over the world...........maybe to over 200 destinations.....
hahahahaha

Despite what I've said earlier,
Positively, It may still work with reinforcing CO / NW joint arrangements. Afterall EWR is CO's hub. This may help the ARN - EWR sector.
Whereas ARN - KUL may still work with aggresive promotions and capitalise on beyond KUL, say to Australasia, Indo China; which may be attractive for Europeans / Scandinavians.
In fact, Malaysia's Natural Beauty is the main reason why most Europeans would want to see. Trust me, almost all of my European friends said so. Unfortunatly it is not well promoted ( in some cases maintained) .
But, it will compete directly with TG's strong pressence in Scandinavia. Especially TG is "close" to SK and THailand's strong Asian Cultural Charm.
A good comprimise is may be to have seasonal flights only. As the market now is "Leisure" not Business. But, if it is Business, regular flights is essential.
-
I think the biggest error was when the KUL - DXB - EWR route was rerouted via ARN instead of DXB. And to add things worse the timing from KUL!
And now EK is operating 3 flights daily to JFK! ... with high loads at the front end of the AFT ( premium pax.)
MH could still compete as MH flies to EWR. Plus EWR offers greater US / Canadian connections; which could easily be tied with CO.
In fact,MH could have operated daily with 772 or maybe 744/74E. 744/74E maybe a better option as 744 will normally be a better option than EK's 345.
ARN and other smaller EUR stations like VIE / MAD .....etc. could only work with MH on smaller size aircraft with lower operating costs...... this is where 787 coulod do the job. The flight operations could be seasonal during holidays only, similar to the KUL - BAH -KWU route.
-
Those props may be used to open up new links between Peninsular and Sabah / Sarawak such as
KCH - KUA , BTU - JHB ....ETC. ... and maybe within Peninsular like KUA - IPH / IPH - KBR or the "too big" for A32S / 737 like JHB - IPH / JHB - KBR...etc..
-
Any posibilities on CDG - KUL for AF?
-
Correct me if I'm wrong,
Didn't AK were the ones that wanted virtually all domestic routes from MH since last year?
And didn't the original deal was the so called interlining issues would have been worked together and resolved?
Isn't the original intentions were to avoid excess capacity, avoid competition and to ensure our air transport network is well covered for our social needs?
Or could it be that AK is affraid of not making money? ... and perhaps being less socially responsible to the nation?
From the way it looks, then there is no point of dividing the routes. Let the market conditions determine where AK or MH ones to go!
From the way it looks, well let MH get more of the secondary routes .....such as JHB - KCH , MYY - BKI .... etc.

"MH and do make the glorious 'Wau Bulan' flying high in the skies with other airlines!"
CORRECTION
MH logo is a representation of Wau Kucing and not Wau Bulan. Please do not get confused.

Ruiz, are you an engineer?
You sure sound like one.
Malaysia is fast becoming like the UK - crowded roads and increasing cost of auto ownership. Rails are already making a comeback there nobody thought they would 40 years ago when they closed down the lines. Given the increase in recent fuel prices.....
I'm an architect and urban planner.
Transport planning is part and parcel of urban planning. The sad part is (for our nation's benefit), an integrated approach to the transport planning is critical for a nation's success has not been well accepted yet in Malaysia.
The "non sense" route explained earlier may not be acceptable to some people, as the numbers may not be high enough at this moment. But as our population and GDP grows, there bound to be a demand. 737 / A320 may prove to be too big, but the connectivity is nevertheless is important.
After all, our state is going borderless, fences are breaking up. Mind you, one may be working in Malacca, but his wife may be from Perlis and he himself may be from Kelantan is becoming more common these days.
Profesionally, one basic rule of thumb for rail operations (regardless ERL, TGV, LRT or Bullet Trains), Rail services is profiatble once the capital cost has been taken out. But the economic benefits is greater than the said capital cost and better than airports at regional context.
Don't mean to argue, but we have to look far....... and beyond and Money needs to be spend wisely for the benefit of the rakyat.
-
well, if they extend ERL to singapore, there's no point about having KUL-SIN flight by MH, AK and SQ. also, there's no point about having Senai (JHB) airport which is also one of AK hub.
Azuddin
JHB , PEN, AOR ( and MKZ, IPH - in smaller context) may still be needed for regional flights. KUL - SIN vv - yes will significantly be reduced.
what would then be : -
more itra regional within peninsular, sumatra and Asean such as :-
IPH / JHB - PLM Palembang
IPH - JHB / KUA
JHB - KBR
JHB - TGG / KUA
IPH - MES
JHB - MES / CGK
MKZ - KBR / TGG / KUA
The above may be operated on regional jets such as CRJs / Emberars / F70

Y WASTE MONEY ? Y not just "code share" with other carriers? After all no difference in service, cargoes do not need meal, no need to worry about meal service; unlike the pax. business.
IN this case, code share in cargo services is more practical rather than the pax., service.
