USM runway is quite alike to ipoh amid USM being slightly longer. It wont be a problem for 738/a320 but yes flights out of USM cant fly far maybe restricted to no more than 3 hour routes or to trim down the amount of passenger payload. One thing is noted you may see them using more flaps than take off and landing consistently. TR probably waiting it out for the E2 than betting on the A320. In japan many third tier domestic airports have even shorter runway(some same length as ipoh's 2000meter runway) that are served by dense domestic configured 763 and 772 and recently 788 during holiday season. But those parts have the benefit of colder climate giving more performance margin to the aircraft.

FY has never launched scheduled international routes from BKI they only got the slots but never use them due to aircraft shortage. So far its been mostly TWU-china charters and an upcoming one from BKI. They've been pretty much 5 aircrafts. How they kung fu snake the network was basically trimming down the inter routes like SDK,TWU from supposed 1x daily to 3x-5x weekly. PEN also has some service reduction to some of its routes. Now with SZB it looks like they're just deploying aircrafts from PEN and BKI to do the routes. But looking at the turnaround spacing and aircraft utilisation rate its just a ticking time bomb waiting to happen for the passengers. A simple hiccup along the way the entire network goes into chaos. Again going back to MAG, looking at how constrained FY is and how rather not on timeline the 737max has been surely they should shopping for 2-3 spare second hand 737ngs out there. Either this company is one of those "auntie that haggles in the pasar" among aircraft lessors or just hoarding money but bare in mind being too overly conservative in spending also leads to losses in potential revenue.

That range is with around 310 passengers but does not include the penalties associate with winds, additional fuel needed to comply with diversion and holding then there's sometimes longer track miles. You add those up usually the max take off weight has been fully use up so you either install an even lighter cabin product onboard or cutback the amount commercial payload you take. Airasia's a339 should be able to handle the load if its flown from Thailand. If i am not mistaken each passenger is weight at 100kg by default and it includes the 7kg handcarry it however does not include checked bag which are calculated separately. So going from 280 to 360 an extra 80 passenger est thats penalty of potentially less 8000kg or 8tonnes of fuel that can be loaded if the max take off weight is at the near limit. Thats around 1hour and 15min worth of less flying.

If there is good tailwind and MH configures them within the 250seater range it is possible. Overall the A339 is still not a proper B772 replacement the right candidate is the A359. Even in the old days MH had to offload bags for the short B772 stint into LHR(During the B744 gone AOG period) due to winds while BA's had no issue.

Sources from FY seems to indicate it would not be transferred anytime soon. FY will only receive 3-4 frames next year while this year it will be 0. But again MAG has always been known to flip flop quite a lot.

Issues with how most tech companies run is stuff from R&D should remain strictly closed doors out of public use and will take many years. But board and shareholders are pushing for experimental beta like stuff to hit the market prematurely as long sales starts kicking in. Consumers are technically the beta participants now with mandatory unskippable update patches that may bring more bugs than intended always rolling out.

The right candidate is between E2 and A220 but looking at how lukewarm these manufacturers have been in providing freebies unlike the 737/a320 program the uptake will remain poor now especially with the engine teething issues that will take years to stabilize.

Fernandes demands answers with airlines losing ‘millions’ in IT outage I think the entire grid of how microsoft runs needs an overhaul. Its scary that even the 911 dial system in certain parts of the US went offline and so as our local msian MRT and KTM systems having headache days ago. Now i am hearing certain non core essential systems running on the military have also gone offline in the US.

Crowdstrike cybersecurity firm says its software update triggered worldwide Microsoft IT outages In Malaysia Airasia and MAG were partly affected with check ins reverted to offline manual check in. Staffs having issues even retrieving or accessing rosters. Meanwhile several tech companies in msia are also affected.

Some of the Airbus owned frames will be coming in next year as well down to 2026.

I heard they are currently in midst of implementing Wifi IFE based system for the 737s sadly will not be extended to the 330. Though content wise dont expect anything better. Many distributors have hiked the rates for content made worse now with Forex related issue with MYR. Some like Disney and Sony entertainment have hiked nearly 200% with only universal entertainment being on the lower end. There are even more expensive ones like HBO that even established airlines are finding it hard to maintain the contract. Even MH has trimmed content significantly as a result with very slow rotation.

First A339 rego's been comfirmed as 9M-MNG continuing from the A380

Mvc's currently otw back just arrived at hnl.

Yea 4 meant for last year. And if based on q1 2024 projections 8 frame this year. Now no one is sure due to Boeings scrutinised FAA checks. Next year if i recall it was suppose to be 9-10 frames. For this year alone with everything running slow maybe 2-3 more frames that is if nothing new happens at Boeing that causes further pauses.

Should be MVC technically 3 months behind schedule.
