  1. The old plan from 2021 was to dispose almost 40% of the a330ceos in 2025 and all of them to exit in 2027. But now with them saying they need 50 widebody total and them not giving any timeline to firm up the extra 20options for the a330neo(even if they did they wont arrive by 2027 or later) its no brainer they have to retain quite a number of the old a330ceos to hold the fort for at least 5 years or in worse case seek out 2nd hand frames if its expensive to renew leases.
  2. Too far out to actually firm something. E.G the max 8 severely delayed scheduling timeline. Note last year dec they said 4 a330neos to come in 2024 now its changed to 3. Looking at how aircraft deliveries have been missing the mark consistently. The worse possible scenario one has to consider is maybe MH will only receive 2 frames this year. AKL being put far out also is to have more breathing room to make changes to scheduling.
  3. Not mistake the 330ceo to 330neo comes with a bit of revision on the galleys, crew seating, lavatory to allow 1 row of seats by default. Then with those herringbone config for business class. That slanting position allows the airline to maintain somewhat the same amount of seats while maintaining 1-2-1 seating arrangement while previous iteration has been mix with only a few throne seats. Though am not really a fan of the claustrophobic wall partition unless its roomy like a suite. Cx collins diamond though with dull color at least does not feel claustrophobic as not much enclosement.
  4. It is confirmed that they'll be flown on domestics though not sure for how long. Anyone out here ought to monitor the ticketing website and snoop around for the month of october. Commercial sectors likely to be flown for domestic will be KCH, PEN, BKI. On another note i am not sure if there is need to do the restricted and unpredictable CAM proving flight. Back then 9M-MAB was flown on KUL-BKI-KCH-KUL with CAM folks onboard to certify the a350.
  5. Expect Domestic and some Asean flights around Oct. to mid nov. Though am not sure if they will be loaded into the ticketing system like the trials A350 last time.
  6. Product video shown on Airbus's Linkedin video Kabin pesawat A330neo Malaysia Airlines Noticed Songket motif wau is no longer used unlike the announcement order video a while back.
  7. I think the largest it can go for economy is 15.0 and that depends on which sort of economy class seat is installed as well. Most ife makers are now sitting at 11.0 to 13.3inch as standard offering for economy. Meanwhile the previous generation ifes are within 8 to 10inches. Meanwhile smartphones are ballooning the screen sizes. I mean it is difficult to find a flagship phone with 6.0 screen. At samsung even the budget to mid range models are going fod 6.6 now. Meanwhile even the ipad pros are getting larger which actually makes it not portable friendly.
  8. 17.0 inch for business class 13.3 inch screen for economy Ife vendor rumored to be Safran Rave with resolution bump to 4k and wireless headphone capability.
  9. Seems demo seats of both economy and business class will be available on the upcoming matta fair with fully working IFE.
  10. Malaysia Airlines reveals new Airbus A330-900 business and economy seats The Business class seats are the Collins Aerospace Elevation seats, the same seats used in British Airway’s Clubworld and Etihad Airways A350 Business Studio long-haul products. It features individual doors, which gives passengers a better sense of privacy when the doors are closed. The seats will be arranged in a 1-2-1 layout, with each seat having aisle access – an upgrade to the current layout in the MAS A330 family. Each seat will have a large entertainment screen and wireless charging stations – a first for Malaysia Airlines. For economy, Malaysia Airlines has chosen the award-winning Recaro CL3810 Economy Class seat. While still unspecified, the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system for Economy Class will see an upgrade, especially for the IFE screens. The display looks to be bigger than what MAS has for economy passengers in the current A330-300. The seat covers throughout the cabin will feature the airline’s signature songket motif, paying homage to Malaysia’s cultural heritage by seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary style, similar to the design concept of the seats in the Boeing 737-8.
  11. Hints economy class is also having a makeover and will also be installed on the 350s Y class.
  12. Malaysia Aviation Group posts first annual net profit in a decade Net profit finally. Hopefully this momentum is maintained or improved.
  13. I think everything is adhoc until the new terminal comes. From the looks of it a mall will be build that connects the train station directly to the new terminal that is build on bulldozed site where the GA former hangars and t2 building was.
  14. Subang airport revamp will produce 8.7 billion gross output a year once completed
  15. Now it says end of march 2 jet aircraft parking available?
  16. I dun think they have a system to track those folks and filter them out. Not forgetting enrich is pretty much an empty skeleton dept now.
  17. Looks like some ramp work is being conducted from bay 36 onwards.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
