you can still fly via DMK.

40 jets, 7 Million passengers last year...yes no big impact Im living near Berlin so i know the situation very well! Especially when my company have to pay up to 500 Euro oneway for a domestic flight to Cologne from Berlin ;-). Thsi year all airlines will make big losses in Berlin and Düsseldorf too cause of overcapacity. The same situation is now in Malaysia... RM32 = Loss from MAS last year / 32 Mill malay people

The core is: MAS is making huge loses Malindo never made a profit since they are in the air Tony's profits are coming down Sorry, but Malaysia is not big enough for 3 "bigger" airlines.

2 Airlines are not a monopol ;-) Malaysia have 32 million people and 3 more or less big airlines. Germany have 83 million people and it was not possible to establish Air Berlin as second big player beside Lufthansa. Competion is great yes - and you pay for it with your taxes...around RM32 from every malay for MAS in 2018! What use is competition for you if the airlines do not make any profits? That is the basic requirement for a substantial business model or not?

The point of no return was to allow Malindo as third player to come in. 2 are ok, 3 are too much. Especially with the Malindo-Biz on short- and mediumhaul routes.

Our 9M-AFT

Yes, but which one was it under 9M- Reg...that is the question cause its not 9M-AQX ;-). So far planespotters have no info.

I think Planespotter is right. 9M-AQX was transferred to RP in march. And now lets wait which bird was transfered to Indonesia.

https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/Airbus/A320/RP-C8948-Philippines-AirAsia/4Q9dUAdW No that was the first big mistake. It was not 9M-AFT but 9M-AQX. you can see the pics....320 with winglets. AFT is an older bird without WL. https://www.jetphotos.com/registration/RP-C8948
