MAS Privatisation

[MAS Privatisation]

13 B777 for five destinations (JED, CDG, AKL, AMS and PEK) seems to a waste though.

AKL & PEK are both A333 now. AKL could potentially return to B777 after (possible) refurbishment/replacement though. One DPS service is back to B777 again.

The older one are staying, younger ones are being put on sales/ lease-out now. The last four if I remember correctly.

The plan changed.

 

The original plan was to dispose of ALL 77E's. MH planned to sell the four owned ones (MRL, MRM, MRP, MRQ) and return the oldest ones to their lessors (MRN, despite being new, is also leased). The only information to surface to the media was the sale of the four owned birds and therefore people believed only those were leaving the fleet.

 

All four were removed from sale which probably signals their intention to retain the new ones and refurbish them. I would presume that if any were to leave, they would return the older birds to their lessors before touching MRL, MRM, MRP, MRQ, and even MRN.

MRN did a test flight recently (or possibly a charter)

Never mind it was a test flight... KL to KL

Hi,

 

Can anyone confirm that B772 MRG and MRN have been withdrawn from the MH fleet?
