Yep, MAStar was the private charter arm of MH, back when they were high flying, using the BBJ. When the govt took over, the BBJ became the govt VIP fleet

Is there room for an LCCT in Penang? The airport's surrounded by factories...could it be placed near the cargo hangar on the other side of the airport...

Rob Bradford, managing director of customer solutions at United, called Carroll Wednesday to apologize for the foul-up and to ask if the carrier could use the video internally to help change its culture.
"It could be used to improve the way passengers are treated around the world," Carroll said.

Well, I hope that's a sincere statement...
-
That's pretty lucky! What are the chances of a LAE qualified to work on that type of aircraft being on board when a technical fault occurs? Not high....
-
Maybe they'll have to wetlease 747s or 777s if that happens. Do MH have any spares at this moment?
LX seems to have an Airbus-only fleet and they are gonna get screwed big time...
I'm sure it'll cost them a bundle! Unless they can work out something with MH, which I doubt. Last time anything like this, back in the 70's I believe with the DC-10, it was one of the contributing factor to the death of the Laker Skytrain.

That's suicide! How many airlines will be affected? What about those whose fleets consists of ONLY long-range Airbuses? (D7 comes to mind). And what's this about a Northwest & TAM incident? Why didn't they take action before the AF crash? They could have done something to avoid the crash, but no, people have to die first before any action must be taken....
-
One after the other...not a good year for aviation, all these crashes.

Virgin Blue did this as an April Fool's joke. But if this is real...what a joke!
-
Why did they change their branding from everything golden to what we have now? I can still remember eagerly reading their in flight mag Wings of Gold that my dad took from the plane, which later became the rather generic-sounding Going Places. The Gold theme have a certain class to it.
-
Did this made the news? Considering that its an A330 and everything...

website saysDue to overwhelming response from our No Admin Fee promotion,
you’ll notice that our site is a little slower than usual.
We assure you that we are doing all we can to speed things up
and thank you in advance for your patience.
Please try mobile.airasia.com as an alternative for booking.
Whether or not this is a cover up i don't quite know hehe.
No admin fees caused their entire system to overload? Damn...they should have thought about it before...

My boss wanted to book a ticket for a flight tomorrow morning to KBR, and 1st he tried going thru AK website. He couldn't get through to booking, so he thought the Internet system in the office got problem and sent me to KL Sentral to buy it. But when I reach there, the AirAsia counter was swamped with people, and there's a sign saying their systems are down. Never mind, I tried Firefly. They also said their system was down. Fortunately their call center can take the booking, otherwise one of the staff couldn't make the meeting scheduled tomorrow. What's going on eh?

Boring? It is relative. NFL is fun if you know the rules. A million times more exciting than cricket. As for the timing, remember the US is on the other side of the world.Maybe D7 should sponsor some NFL broadcast here.
Well, I knew the rules from playing Madden NFL. Don't ask why I play the game when I think American Football is boring. I just play...
But check out today's Malay Mail. Already there are grumbling noises from the national sport teams on the relevence of D7's sponsorship of the Raiders. Why not sponsor Malaysian teams, they asked.
-
The Oakland Raiders want to enhance their brand globally? How, when all the NFL games are played morning Malaysian time? Not to mention the fact that American Football is, well, boring!
-
Watch this guys ! There are 10 video clips in total.That's two BA planes stricken whose destination was KL. BA Flight 9 was the first, the one that flew into Volcano ash in Indonesia in '83

I'm waiting for the Mount Erebus disaster episode. So many lives are lost because of negligence by Air New Zealand...
-
Now this is leading by example. Not like Willie Walsh asking his employees to work without pay, while management continues to draw a salary
-
The pilot's 61? I thought the retirement age for pilots is 60?
-
If Willie Walsh is truly honest in cost cutting, he should have asked all the management to surrender their pay for a while, not the guys who are the backbone of the airline. I'm sure many of the management can afford to continue living their lives without pay, but for the little ppl, I doubt they can, as the union stated.

I personally still see QF as a very safe carrier. It had some incidents but it has never had any accident with fatality before. QF has got to be one of the safest airlines in the world.It's a myth! QF never lost a JET aircraft, but go back in history to the old days of the early planes, and then you'll find that they've had fatal accidents before.

But wasn't MAS reporting huge losses on the KUL/LHR route a while ago ? Not really sure how are they doing now. Only know that when MAS were making money in the last few quarters, a huge chunk of the profit came from domestic routes. International routes aren't really profitable for MAS
Shouldn't that be the other way around? Interntational routes covering for the losses of domestic routes? At least, that's what I've always assumed.

The thread starter is absolutely right about the names of the MH 744.The 9M-MH* series -400 birds were GE powered. MH got rid of them by late 90s (non-Combis) and the two Combis were sold to Boeing early 2003, IIRC. The names of the GE powered are as listed at the start of this thread. Subsequently the names of KL, Penang, Melaka and Alor Setar were transferred to the PW powered 744 which MAS took delivery after they got rid of the GE powered birds.
To make the matter more confusing MH's sole 743 was originally named "Kota Kinabalu" and the 2x 742 had some other city names. Again, the names were reshuffled as a result of the retrenchment of the GE powered 744. The 2x 742 became Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. If you search the photo database (A.net or JP.net), it will reveal all the history.
Naturally, it has to be "Kuala Lumpur" first, when MH received their first 744. Now the last pax 744 (9M-MPQ) is named as Kuala Lumpur. However, we have yet to see any city names on the 2x new 744F to date. May be MH is getting sick of the game of naming their aircraft.
Why did they replace the GE planes with PW planes? Can't they just change the engines, rather than the planes?
-
The media's gonna be sensitive over things like these, once there's a major air crash. I'm sure it's not a major incident.

9M-MHN - (Malacca) to Qantas as VH-OECJust go to show that MAS was a scapegoat in that Qantas issue....

I think it's a bad idea. Long haul, low cost airlines have yet to prove their viability. If D7 and AK merge it could lead to catastrophe if one of them, more likely the long haul airline failed. AK themselves could be shut down. Of course, that's the worse case scenario.
