Many flyers still try to weasle their way out for cheap fares. Generally third party usually came out the cheapest. But then comes the issue ranging from flight retiming or cancelation not notified to customer. Luggage allowance booked not listed on airline reservation system etc.. One has to be extremely flexible and forgiving to handle this sort of tickets.

It had a very ambitious plan of being a top tech aggregator app in the likes of airpaz traveloka etc. Problem was there was no mutual agreement with any airline partners on where to source inventory. You could be buying an ANA ticket from them only for the ticket to be issued by kiwi.com and it being incomplete which poses a lot of potential issue for consumers.

Bki terminal 1 and runway extension delay was also their fault.

Malaysia Airlines, Batik Air, Lion Air Group airlines claim foul play by airasia Super App https://focusmalaysia.my/malaysia-airlines-batik-air-lion-air-group-airlines-claim-foul-play-by-airasia-super-app/ Same was also reported by Emirates. Tendency of denial of boarding with tickets issued by airasia superapp(majority actually came from other aggregators instead) as the PNR and eTicket no are usually blank during check in. Passengers are left in the dark who to deal with usually at this stage. 1 year plus. It basically took 2 politicians that were arguing about an unrelated matter to actually dig this out in the open.

Most of the profit came from the fact MH was already small and laddled by severe cost cutting regime prior to the pandemic hit. Also the full certification to do p2cargo as being the primary source for income revenue while others were scratching their heads on what they can carry. Now post pandemic it will be an issue if MAG can actually handle challenges of doing proper product renewal and retaining valued experience staffs. Elsewhere in asean flag carriers that were thought to have been buried dead can just bounce back quickly due to strong gov support, tourism and travel demand.

Typical Malaysian issue. Give control regulations and they sleep on the job and do not monitor the situation actively awaiting for viral social media posting or some hot shot datuk to exercise his 'karen' card. Or Literally let it go on free fall no control. No responsibility. Consumer have to swallow the inconveniences on their own when dynamic prices comes in.

Most of the passengers and goods are from TWU. 188 seater is also too big. Tarakan is a 90 seater or less sector.

Believe its already affected. Cause early this year or as of last year plans are to take 7 units starting from mid may 2023. Now its scaled to just 4 units and entry july 2023.

Gradually they will fully moved. Good is the vacant apron lot at SZB means theres at least potentially 5 additional parking for diversion traffic from KUL.

Actually all 4 already moved. Saw all 4 parked together in KUL cargo apron since march. They may be interested in acquiring another 767.

Problem also comes from manufacturer ATR they advertise the ATR's to be as sturdy aircraft capable of handling many robust scenarios and high cycles of the old turboprop days coupled with superb low fuel burn which entices many. There are a few operators still operating near 40year old atrs as of today. Problem the moment you open the manual and see the amount of MEL items listed and repeated replacement oft broken parts repeatedly you know the planes are flying on thin thread. These operators hoard parts for their atrs from the second hand market like how Indonesia houses parts for the antique GAF NOMAD N22 it still operates.

Last heard as of nov 2022 people in Tarakan were pissed maswing has yet to establish any flights even the ferry services was limited. This route is a heavy cargo depended loaded sector. Usually loads of Milo, Rice, nestle products are packed and flown over as those stuff in Indonesia are pricey. You even have occasional live goats and seafood. Believe it is now in deadlock awaiting for FY(again limited by the cargo it can carry so may be a useless transfer as well). Ak was once interested but to route it via BKI. This was deemed not profitable by demand it has to be from TWU. Uk community airlines main aim is to at least break even and its the same for most around the world including MASWings. As for the ATR. Heard MAG will have to fork out on its own as it has unfilled orders for the 600 series from ATR. When will they sign it is believe to be within this 3 years. But they need to know ATR is not designed for 20 years so if they get this new ATR and expect them to last until 2040 they're pretty much repeating the same stupid mistakes. The ATR Evo is even thought to last less than the 600 series as well.

MASWings is tasked for Borneo sectors that are usually not profitable but needed due to local needs. One sector which has been always profitable may be heading to an issue namely Tawau Tarakan. As for Firefly, it is basically a no frills and required to operate as a profiting business taking over most of MH's lower yield routes especially domestic with potential to try out new waters from secondary stations outside of KUL. Sarawak has always been planning to setup its own airline problem arises from the actual cost needed to run its own RAS support. The ATR72-500 is already an issue with MOT and state gov as they expect MAG to use the 500 series for decades is already one sign of potential issue in regards to funding.

Trend is to slap a few rows of premium economy reminiscing the early 2000s comfort days in pitch. But asking consumers to pay near 75% business class rate while business class has gone up higher. There's even the inform to not have meals option now and soon to be mandatory carbon taxes to help some imaginary animals and trees while business leaders and investors are jet setting on Gulfstreams around europe with even higher carbon wastage buying dirty carbon vehicles every year like candy and advocating go green affordable lower carbon flying lol. So yea technically most of what aviation is today and tomorrow does not sound sane.

This seems to be the standard livery more than half of the 737s are white albinos.

Most of the parasitic staffs and management have already left except for the select few that do not have any managerial power than before. In the old days you cant even call out any bosses on townhall meetings it will result in termination. Nowadays after Mueler came in so on its a near monthly occurrence there's more transparency now. With Izham you can actually voice out operational issues directly. The main issue now is retaining valuable staffs. Foreign Competitors with strong gov backing are fishing experienced staffs like lolipops in Asean. MAG on the otherhand while has begun to flow cash positive have to decide whether to fix staff salary back to near competitive levels to prevent exodus or to use it for long term product renewal and procurement. Khazanah funds are not allowed for any of those stated above sadly. The recent bonus announcement barely quells the staffs issue. You can give 6months bonus etc it will still lose out to what other countries are paying, the Malaysian basic standards is just too low. Even America is preventing valuable tech crew outflow to middle east in 2022 by hiking most of the tech crews pay as part of the usd 25bil gov baillout post pandemic. CAM and aagb, mag, od HR's idea of mass hiring freshies is not a long term solution. Having 90% of new staffs with 0 hours and only 10% experienced is gonna spell out potential safety risks. Not to forget the cancellation and retiming headaches this will bring for at least 2.5years to stabilize the workforce.

Albino looking a333 spotted similar to the 737max livery with registration 9M-LFC.

Mli and fff seems to be slotted to fy fleet. Making it a 6 aircraft total by june at least. Bki-sdk prepped for mid may. Unconfirmed info fy to have 8-9 total 738 by year end with mlk mll joining. All the non Boeing sky interior 738 will exit mh by end of 2023.

No idea on the a330neo cabin seats for business class all we know its an improvement over a350 and current a333. No news on economy. Saw on the chart that IST, AMS aimed for 2024 onwards with FRA, CDG considered for 2026. But knowing MH stuff like these are to be taken with a grain of salt. Most of these can be handled by the a330neo with the exception of AMS that may require more cargo that the 350 offers. CDG FRA may be another failed attempt if MH is not careful. MH widebody shortage means it may not expand appropriately until mid 2024 once it has taken the a330neos and maintains the 333. Currently its an off and off thing depending on seasons. Loss of potential revenue was mentioned by the CEO due to the aircraft shortage. 33 widebody total still seems to be the number they're aiming for with room for very mild expansion. Indonesia and China slots etc are more of a bilateral issue behind the scenes. So it depends on how our govs exercise the agreements.

Some tidbits info. Max 8 entry confirmed for July, August, October, November. 4 units total for 2023. No news on cabin. Downscale from original 7units planned for 2023 due to Boeing production. A330neo Feb 2024 eta delayed by 2months. Planned 7 units for the year 2024 subject to change. Cabin rumored to be better than existing a350 for business class. 6x current A350s planned to undergo certain refitting to match the 330neo cabin standard by stages. 3-4 A350s still being soughted out. Staff bonuses approved and varies by kpi ranges from 0.5-3months. Company due for Profit reporting due by year end provided no further deterioration from forex. Flights to india from 46weekly MAG hopes to gauge it to 60x in future. Current issue China still refuses to restore Beijing, Shanghai flights to daily schedule for MH. Indonesia has refuse to give additional frequency slots to MH in favour of Malindo.

Its the same everywhere dont take ryanair, dont take easyjet, don't take frontier/allegiant, dont take airasia etc. But people would still stupidly flock to them in doves cause its cheap majority of the time. As this goes on the market forces is gradually pulling towards that segment no matter how we dislike it.

Stumble upon this on youtube. Air Indonesia Seems to be taking stuff from Garuda's fleet. Also note they're keen on a350-1000 and Q400s.

Honestly not much is known. But note the china based LCCs have already started flying to international destinations.

MU did flew to bki before though on a very limited seasonal run in 2014. So far the longest China based airline that has consistently flown into BKI remains to be China Southern. For now am not sure what sort of clearance China/our local authority gave for BKI but it seems most flights will be give to the China based full service carriers first. The LCCs have not been give the green light until year end. Former flyers into BKI includes Shanghai airlines, Juneyao, Spring air, Lucky air with Kunming mid applying before the pandemic hit.

1st batch of handover Bki-twu Bki-kch Vice vesa. Bki-sdk not sorted due to insufficient aircraft. 1 aircraft with no spare based in BKI in may doing BKI-TWU-BKI-KCH-MYY-KCH-BKI until end of July. If some issue were to happen in between which i guarantee will happen regardless how spotless or brand new aircraft is. It's going to be the same airasia and myairline domino effect retiming+delay scams again.
