MH only order 25 737 max, while right now it has 40-50 737NG, so theres seem to be a gap in the fleet planning, are MH considering to replace some of the 737NG with maybe a regional jet? Like embraer?
-
do you guys think the routes will be a success?? i can see maybe routes like kota bharu to phnom penh and ho chi minh city are also coming on the way. also langkawi-bangkok, langkawi-medan, langkawi-phuket, johor-padang, johor-pontianak, johor-palembang, penang-pekanbaru.
meanwhile, if ones choose to travel KBR-KUL-DMK, the traveling time including transit will be around 3,5-4 hour, but with more flexibility giving the high frequency of both legs.

That was what a lot of people said about KUL-CDG.
However, MH figured that their oneworld partners will help fill the A380 - now we can fly KUL-CDG-JFK and KUL-LHR-JFK easily as MH has code shares with AA in place.
I think KUL-AMS is a good candidate for an upgrade to A380.
i know right? thats what i was saying in the first place. i think MH is capable to operate A380 on AMS,FRA,LAX. so no need for 777 replacements, just buy more A380 and A330-200
-
Generally speaking, an A332 could fly non-stop as far as 7000nm, which makes any destination in Europe reachable. However, in an airlines business, distance is not the only factor. It has to be a compromise between fuel and traffic load.
but KE operates A330-200 on ICN-PRG,
Also AF on CDG-NRT
thats pretty much the same distance with KUL to AKL,JNB,CPT,IST,CAI
-
I am still wondering why MH needs 17 long haul intercontinental aircraft - are they planning on going back to CPT, JNB, EZE, etc?
If not, how many aircraft do they need to operate the AMS, FRA, LAX and AKL routes at existing and projected frequencies? Wouldn't it be better to upgrade at least AMS (and maybe FRA) to an A380 service?
For LAX and AKL, the A359 or B787-10 would probably do. Perhaps, MH should also code share with oneworld partners on LAX like they already do with JFK.
CPT, JNB, and AKL are do-able with A330-200
i think A330-200 could fly as far as moscow, cairo, athens, and istanbul

pardon my ignorance , is ME3 stans for that top 3 middle east carrier? wheres that name come from?
-
well im not really sure about that, theres really not much tourist in brunei.
for example only 4000 japan tourist entered brunei in 2011. while kota kinabalu received almost 8000 japan tourist in the first quarter of this year only. do the math 4000 vs 32.000 tourist. with that much tourist in KK, but maswings can only do 4 weekly flight from KK to mulu.

who's going to fly on that route anyway?
-
I suppose its a good problem for MH to have, ie high loadings, but what worries me is that I might have to fly Air Asia if I can't get seats on MH!
LCCT is really in a bad condition right now, except for the air conditioner which still works very good. but what makes me scared, is when KLIA2 will overshadow KLIA.
10 yrs ago, KLIA was pretty spectacular. but right now, its nothing compare to Delhi, Suvarnabhumi, T3 Changi. The temperature in the terminal is hot, AC was working, but still hot on sunny days, Toilet is dirrty, and what about with this trashy kampong lamp thing they put all over the terminal? the rainforest walk is also not being maintained seriously, some of the sofa around the TV corner are already in a bad condition. the maintenance is sucks.
even delhi airport has a much better prayer room than KLIA, that is embarassing.

I think the A330s during popular timings are being dispatched on routes longer than what a 738 can normally do e.g. MEL, SYD, KIX, PVG, PEK, etc so A330 on regional routes on popular timings are out of the question.
yeah hopefully with more A330 coming, they can be dispatched to more regional routes. i know this is OOT since its MH's A380 thread.
and also, i hope MH rethink their fleet plan, using the options to order 737-700 and A330-200HGW. both of them have smaller capacities and longer range, its perfectly suites for routes to karachi, ahmedabad, guillin, hangzhou, fukuoka, nagoya, chengdu, kolkata, bandung, surabaya etc.
-
but the flight to delhi was 100% occupation, even when i checked 2 weeks from my date of departure, it was only 4 seats left.
the gap between A330 and 738 is not really a problem, MH can combine both fleet, for example for flight to Delhi, MH has 1 daily A330 and 1 daily 738.
-
i recently flew to Delhi in economy, it was FULL! i think the new A330 and A380 is really an advantage to attract pax and compete with another airlines. maybe MH should consider to introduce 2 x A330 to main cities in asia eg. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Dhaka, Guangzhou, Taipei, Kunming, Seoul, and Dubai.
-
Unfortunately, FRA is not MH's strong forte, especially with TG and SQ having a stronger presence. I think 2 or 3 more will be enough for SYD, MEL and NRT.
that is the point, FRA has never been a strong route for MH, but look what A380 can done, from my short observation its been a healthy load. with the aging 777 (that soon going to be retired) plying AMS and FRA makes MH less attractive to pax. MH has no choice but replace the 777 to A380. its too late to order 787 or A350 now
here's my prediction :
2 daily A380 to LHR
1 daily A380 to CDG
1 daily A380 to AMS
1 daily A380 to FRA
2 daily A380 to SYD
2 daily A380 to MEL
other's possibilities :
1 daily A380 to NRT
1 daily A380 to LAX
so that's why i think MH need 6-7 more A380
-
if MH can do daily A380 to paris, the same could be done for amsterdam and frankfurt. MH must order 6-7 more A380!
-
but AK is a low fare airlines that their nature is to be cheaper than a full service airlines. didnt malaysia have some kind regulation that control airlines ticket price? i just think its not fair for our sweetheart MH
-
i was doing dummy booking as i was looking for the cheapest flight option for my trip to sri lanka for may 2013. first thing first, of course comparing AK and MH come to my mind. i was quite surprised that AK offers price two times more expensive than MH offerings. for a vv flight AK offers 1894 MYR while MH only charges 847 MYR. i understand that MH flight KUL-CMB arrive in CMB at an ungodly hour (23:55pm), but the fact that AK charging more than double is shocking considering MH has PTV in every seat and serve you full meal. anybody experience the same thing? i hope malaysians can be smarter on spending their money. i also anticipating for malindo to starts operation as competition will benefit us more.

are there oportunity of this airport be open for commercial flight? firefly maybe?
-
Well I think frequency of flights has something to do with it too. If SZB gets too busy, its not only the noise but also traffic congestion in the area.
The Subang airport road is quite jammed up during peak hours and it is worse if it rains. I don't think passengers will appreciate being stuck in traffic jams while travelling to the airport.
i heard gov will extend the komuter station, connecting subang airport to city?
-
But knowing Tan Sri TF, some noise will be made.
Although will the E-jets be a problem maybe - no aerobridge?
how about bombardier CRJ? they have stairs
It is not a question of capacity. It is a question of it being a jet.
Turboprops are slower, so no threat to jets.
Besides, SZB is already a no commercial jet zone. That was why AK were kicked out of SZB - they operate commercial jets!
Correct, he is not interested in competing with Firefly turboprop. But if it is Firefly jet, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will encroach on AK's territory!
make sense!
do subang really cant handle a small jet (50-70 seat)? or its just the medium size like A320 and B737?
-
He could then argue "it's not the capacity, it's the powerplant."
if he really interested in subang and competing firefly, he would've had propeller there in airasia's livery, but he did not. anyway he is jakarta right now and seems more interested for something bigger.
-
i wonder if they considering small jet like E170. it would be perfect for longer flight out of subang

Future applications are video games, personal USB media player, e-books and GSM connectivity.
future app? does it it means that its currently unavailable?

I guess their previous strategy has proven to be failed as they cant fill up the seats in a 150-160 seater jet (737 max 8 has even more seats than 737 ng). A regional jet can serve secondary cities better and provide more frequency. RJ can easily served KL-chiang mai, KL-cebu, KL-makassar.
Im also thinking the 737 max will be deployed to several routes that previously served by A330, like KL-tokyo, KL-seoul, KL-delhi. A 6-7 hour flight in a narrow bodied become more common these days.
