Heard some of the GA companies and etc will be relocating near the former T1 area. The AFRS will be moving to the opposite end of the runway near the TUDM area. Airod and NADI will stayput. Technically SZB airport will be the combination of Skypark and the old T2 area. I agree with you they need to settle the road asap. The road along Cita mall during evening is madness lol and i got caught up in it twice that i personally avoid it like a plague. -

Heard the land area at those location will be sold to a GLC entity. The only thing left still operating is some of the leftover MAS SIM centre which is still pending the completion of the KLIA south zone sim building. But for the adjacent MAS hangar those are now operated by SIA engineering. Heard this new terminal for phase 3 will include a mall LOL i just hope its not one of those gotta walk through the shopping mall before check in like KLIA 2. -

First phase apparently ready by this june will include 4 737/a320 bays around skypark. So apparently they will redraw and apply apron ramp strengthening. -
Believe offpeak hours have lower parking rates and charges for most busy airports. Which is what the chinese and south korean carriers have been going for BKI when yields are low to command prime hours. Airasia it has been noted a large source of their income has been auxillary based like passenger penalties, luggage, insurance, add-ons etc over the actual barely breakeven base fare.

Too early to speculate now as long mvc(recall it was due for delivery for late feb and it has already missed the mark) is not handed over. Fff had a few things short that most of the ml series after mlg onwards have already have them installed. The best is for fy to actually lease 1-2 2nd hand aircraft but as we all know MAG is very reluctant on that idea. But the slower FY is the more it will miss the bus in marketshare. Post takeover of the Sabah, Sarawak Domestic routes and they've actually made the services even worse and inconsistent than MH with the only argument being they're about rm30-50 cheaper than MH consistently on the web bookings.
-
MLK MLL yes but these two will only come after the 6th aircraft which was supposed to be FFF. Currently FFF has been dropped out pending some avionics upgrade. Was told the aircraft is not adequately fitted to enter into China. What aircraft no.6 is still unknown but i believe we can start asking planespotters to look out the mas hangar for any 738 that has been sitting still for more than 3 weeks once 9M-MVC has actually been delivered and doing commercial flights.
-
It is reported that 1 more 737ng will be entering around that timeline but with the 737max delays into MH not sure if this is still in check. Another 2 more due by late Q3. FY to have 8 aircrafts total by end of 2024 very lackluster on MAG's part and i could probably feel FY is also frustrated by this.
-
From the looks of it the funds collected to be also partly used to recuperate MAHB self financed expansion involving PEN and BKI which was reported to be combined MYR 3.0bil +- and still pending tender evaluation. Federal is no longer financing any improvement or expansion of second tier airport sized except for the smaller ones like TWU, KBR.

There is only 1 bay authorized for jet(e2 jet marking) at skypark terminal but not sure if ramp strength is authorised for a320/738 weight category. Unless they are to park near raya hangars and use bus to ferry out passengers in and out. So unlikely we will see od or fy jets coming in anywhere this year.

MAG so called plans for SZB is currently still tight lip. But again do note this is a company group that has been very inconsistent when it comes to long term planning. As for OD there is no indication if they will return cause Lion group is also slowing down its ATR deliveries once the fleet for Wings air has stabilize with no plans to allocate them to Thailand or Malaysia. Atr has been trying hard to pitch sales but it has not been doing well in this region. MAG actually downscale the number of ATR's on both firefly and MASWings with parts and maintenance reliability being the problem(Same report from thai operaters). Whereas Lion group has been downsizing and retooling the fleet between wings air and its lessors. Turboprop market share is narrowing with it being confined probably to just east malaysia and kalimantan in the future. The ATR is already the most efficient turboprop aircraft with the amount of passenger it carries based on fuel burn 600kg/hour with a penalty on cruise speed being slow than the jets. If even this is unsustainable, i dont think the A220 or E2 would fair well as they burn more fuel burn than a turboprop and are also heavier and more pricey to do maintenance and only reflect an increase of seats to 130-140. Note Malaysia based carrier's game has always been to deploy a 160-180 seater narrowbody aircraft(You also have airasia eyeing on switching all a320 to 240 seater a321s) to keep ticket prices low and fill them up by volume except there's a lot of destinations that do not hold consistent yielding volume.
