Some internal photos show 9m-mah spotted already painted in Malaysia airlines negaraku livery in VCV but still on foreign registration as EI-HJZ.

Latest news it is delayed to Nov 12th but arriving at 1730 local time instead.

They've opened a new pool of LAE cadetship(via bank loans) only issue to resupply back manpower waiting for them would take years. Its the same issue plaguing pilots. This is not only happening at MAG but quite a number of airlines around the world such as SAS, air india, Qantas. HR have been viewing them as expandable overpaid noisy crowd that should at most be tied directly as an office manager that would eventually be replaced by A.I(which almost everyone else greatly disagrees upon) Any sound of safety regulation and cost and debt acquiring such rating and experties pinned onto the employee is seen as cost nuisance to revenue.

Shortage of aircraft and no spares(1 tinnsy tiny unalligned turnaround to collapse the the whole thing) and as of few months ago +shortage of engineers. Up to nearly hundreds of engineers left this year from MAG. And you have the HR head always singing "who? dorang tak syukur? gaji dorang perlu tetap sama mcm ofis" each time someone argues about potential operational constraint from the lack of concern on manpower.

The aviation industry there was very messy that the authority went for a big cleanup. It has improved significantly but u do still have some holes here and there still but its a lot better than what i've seen prior to 2015 which was insane and huge mess. Though they may have to check back again with control as Jokowi is seeking to open up again which may pose uncontrolled issues to repeat itself. Apart from our regular myairline we also have 1 casualty Myjet express cargo airlines. I think they only have 1 737 classic freighter left stuck in senai and most of the crew and engineers left. They used to have a very active Facebook account that has also been disabled now. The only good thing it is a pure cargo airline with minimal impact on consumers endusers. Raya airways and Kargo express might be feeling the heat as well with the cargo demand resetting itself as most parcels are now being repurposed back into 737/a320 lower deck cargo.

It was a temporary curb back then to stop all aoc applicants. Cause that time any millionaire was trying to setup an unsafe/unreliable/non long term airline in indonesia like some pasar malam. It was also a kill switch for quite a few airlines in indonesia that needed to be shut down.

MYAirline clarifies it still left with four aircraft, only six returned to lessors  MYAirline clarifies it still left with four aircraft, only six returned to lessors KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 6): Cash-strapped MYAirline Sdn Bhd (MYAirline) has issued a clarification regarding the status of its leased aircraft and licence, to address several inaccuracies and misinformation that have been disseminated through various media outlets. In a statement on Monday, the low-cost airline said that only six out of ten of its aircraft had been deregistered by its lessors, contrary to certain reports stating that the airline is left with no aircraft as all had been returned to its lessors. “Out of the ten aircraft previously under MYAirline's management, it has been confirmed that six aircraft have been deregistered by our lessors,” it said. Misinformation about MYAirline can undermine revival, says airline PETALING JAYA: Inaccuracies and misinformation in news reports about MYAirline has the potential to undermine efforts for its revival, says the beleaguered airline. The airline said such reports could hamper their efforts especially as they are currently engaged in advanced discussions with potential investors.

MYAirline left fleet-less, all 10 aircraft returned to lessors CAAM confirmed to Business Times yesterday on the deregistration request of five aircraft namely with the registration numbers 9M-DAC and 9M-DAD on Oct 26, 9M-DAJ and 9M-DAL on Oct 27 and 9M-DAH on Nov 3. The sudden suspension of MYAirline's operations had partly led to the operating loss that SIA Engineering Co Ltd (SIA Engineering) made in its second quarter FY2024 result. Pretty much checkmate.

Overheard FDP may be limited. But again mab can always reapply from cam. There's also no info if mab crew ate actually flying it or its the lessors team. There's also seasonal winds at play with strong headwind for any west bound flights going to nearly 100knots on certain corridor.

My mistake on trial flight. Its actually a stopover in BKI during delivery. Apparently they cant do a direct delivery all the way to KUL as there is no dispensation from CAM to do so and MAB is still applying again to allow direct. Plane is coming from America flying east bound.

9M-MAH delivery est to be within next week with random upgraded trial flights into BKI.

1 a320 has been reregistered to VP-CAQ

If SZB is to take full regionals the 10 atr bay would have to reduced to 8 bays to cater the wingspan requirement. If it is the 737/a320 again even further reduction and adjacent buildings needs some removal. Not only that the ramp strength and type may need some check. From the looks of it 1 bay has already been modified and redrawn apron to handle the E2 likely for the Embraer Demo flight. Malindo exiting SZB is not directly tied to competition issue. Malindo and Thai Lion Air was envisioned as a market disruptor on behalf of lion group for the thai and malaysia market and i personally think Malindo now called Batik Malaysia is tired of doing it and is going for sensible commercial operations(central asia, south asia feeder to aussie).

Same thing with the a350 vs b772. For AKL the A339 over the A332 is advantage of payload mass plus as expected better comfort on the seats. Technically the a350 is not that suited for AKL under MH current yield management the a339 or 789 would be more suited due to lower fuel burn. When MH sent the a333 to akl they had to block 20 plus seats and no parcels on board. When they took the 6 air berlin a332 those planes could carry nearly 4tonnes more payload plus the aircrafts empty weight is lighter by nearly 6 tonnes than the a333 plus an additional fuel tank equipped. The a332 essentially can carry the same amount of passengers as the a333(amid tighter seats) and carry more fuel without hitting the max take off weight limit for the akl fllights.

Honestly, MAB should be careful when it comes to Europe market. Msia's poor Tourism attraction and geopolitics aside, India and Saudi have begun to pump in money to push VistaraXAir india and Riyadh Air to go after the gulfs respectively. It may not be much stuff for MH to pick on later. At most LHR, AMS and Turkiye routes should only be the thing they are focusing on. The main advantage of the A359 is the extra take off weight limit coupled with more usable commercial payload it can carry. Flights to europe the wind condition on certain seasons could hinder the range capability a lot sometimes needing few extra tonnes of fuel than usual. That was the issue when MH had to send their b772 to LHR long ago when a lot of the 744 got AOG with a batch passengers bag and commercial parcel offloaded to next available flight. Technically 9-10 a350s is enough. Nothing more. A339 is much more suited for flights less than 12hours anything more would have to be the a350.

MAG expects first A330-900neo to arrive in September next year Group managing director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said MAG has options on the table for the remaining 20 and will make that decision in the first quarter of 2024. "If we follow or remain steadfast with our long-term business plan until 2030, we should have at least 55 widebody aircraft by 2028," he said during the Airline Leader Interview - MAG session held at the Centre for Aviation (Capa) Asia Aviation Summit and Sustainability Awards 2023 here today. 55 widebody seems a bit too far-fetched. But we'll see. The old plan was for them to have 33 widebody to facilitate very mild expansion. Currently the fleet stands at 21 a330ceos to be replaced by 20 a330neo with optional slot of 20 more. The a350 fleet of 6 will be gradually increased to 10. What is more likely to happen is them executing 3 a330neo on top of the 20 units to enable the 33 widebody total.

In the old days almost every airlines around the world would have about 5-10% of each aircraft type fleet on standby on the ground not including those undergoing scheduled maintenance. One broken a340-300, easy sends replacement aircraft with crew within 2-3hours. Nowadays with changing travel pattern, everyone is using their aircrafts at near max utilisation rates. Broken aircraft no backup, sends automated re-timing notices that may persist beyond 3hours to avoid dispersing any forms of compensation with domino effect at risk on other subsequent flight plus crew bursting their available duty hours. Even the margins at gulfs carriers are narrowing.

From what i gather Kimanis may only be a thing after 2035 that also maybe 60% of the size of what it is originally proposed. Manila relocation itself took 6 years that excludes any potential delays or hiccups. Qazanah's private airport project also solely depends on the states infrastructure readiness. Currently electricity output of the state is not even half of Sarawak's with potential mitigation plans only ready by late 2027. Looks like Federal is putting in stop gap measures for current BKI site seeing how kimanis will likely be decades away.

Exclusive: Vietnam's Bamboo Airways struggling to pay pilot wages; some depart months after late salary payments, according to two people familiar with the matter. About 30 foreign pilots departed in that time, or more than 10% of the airline's total pilot staff in June, according to one of the people, who declined to be identified as the information was not public. A second person said some pilots had recently quit and others were dismissed. Embattled Bamboo, Vietnam's No. 3 airline, said in a statement to Reuters it has undertaken a drastic restructuring encompassing its route network, fleet and human resources. Bamboo Airways appears to be ending 787 flights As of November 2023, the airline has completely zeroed out availability for all of its long haul flights, including services to Frankfurt (FRA), London (LGW), Melbourne (MEL), and Sydney (SYD); the airline already abruptly cut its London service as of mid-October, and the other routes show as ending in the coming days With the airline no longer operating long haul flights, and with the company looking to reduce its fleet, it seems like a near given that the airline will dump its Boeing 787s somehow Now overhead its 2 remaining 787-9 will be given up to the lessors plus 11 frames under MOU with boeing not to be executed.

The “disappearance” of MYAirline is bad news but good for Malaysia The domestic airline market had been rife with talks of a troubled MYAirline for several weeks leading up to its suspension, with employees grumbling about unpaid or half paid salaries. Apart from disruptions in staff pay, suppliers and vendors were also affected, including Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) and state-owned oil giant Petronas, both allegedly with over MYR30 million in arrears. Malaysia’s twin regulators, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) and the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom), have lots to explain. CAAM confirmed in a statement it could not find any sign of financial distress following a technical audit done in May. However, a source claimed if the regulators looked internally, they might just discover that MYR800,000 in navigational services fees and regulatory service charges (RSC) due to them have not been paid in months. Then there are the trade payables, including unpaid fees to Thai authorities following MYAirline’s launch of flights to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang in June this year, that point to a wider systemic failure and blunder. A report by The Edge, a business daily, cited sources saying the airline had burnt some MYR380 million since it began flying at end-2022 with a further loss of almost MYR50 million in forward bookings. All told, observers reckoned MYAirline may have racked up losses of up to MYR500 million. MYAirline is backed by groups with names like Trillion Cove Holdings and Zillion Wealth Bhd. Trillion Cove is a money-lending and financing company controlled by businessman Allan Goh Hwan Hua. The names of these entities alone ought to have alerted regulators, particularly after a company belonging to Goh, I-Serve Online Mall, was one of seven companies fined a total of MYR50 million recently by Bank Negara Malaysia, the central bank, for accepting deposits without a licence. MYAirline’s failure has incited an active debate over the appropriateness of Malaysia’s airline and aviation policies. The airline’s finances were in a bad way since its launch; it grew quickly, leasing a fleet of A320 jets, purportedly for about USD200,000 a month for each plane. The carrier was believed to be running a liability deficit from day one. Its business model – unsound from the start – was to take on AirAsia, and to fill in the vacuum left by domestic carriers due to a shrunken capacity and fewer routes during Covid. Operations were exceptionally expensive: a monthly budget of MYR10 million for its 700 workers, with management and crew (cockpit and cabin) getting paid MYR4 million, nearly half of it. Analysts estimated leasing rental costs of around MYR9 million a month, to eight international lessors, due to the weakening ringgit and firm oil prices. These lessors have since sent termination of contract letters to retrieve their nine A320s (plus two currently in the hangar). The leasing companies are not blameless in MYAirline’s fiasco. Desperation to place aircraft post-Covid and pure greed led the lessors to punt on a shady startup.

Wonder if the authorities ever took action against Datuk Seri Jessie Lai and her lot for the mess they made with 2 b737-400 Suasa/Moonspace air or whatever that pyramid bait business was called. MonSpace wins suit, Kepong MP ordered to pay RM2 million in damages Bunch of scammers around out there now we have Myairlines to add to the list.

AirAsia keen to lease Airbus A320s used by MYAirline AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd group chief executive officer (CEO) Bo Lingam said AirAsia is talking to all eight of MYAirline's aircraft lessors to determine the final number of aircraft that the budget carrier will be taking. "They (lessors) asked us last week if we're interested and we said yes. We'll confirm by next week on the number of A320s we'll be taking," Bo told Business Times today after the launch of AirAsia's free seats campaign.

MYAirline's interim CEO resigns, lessors ask for return of aircraft KUALA LUMPUR: MYAirline Sdn Bhd's interim chief executive officer Stuart Cross has resigned, while the airline is expected to return the nine Airbus A320s that make up the airline's fleet, deepening the troubled airline's woes. Currently, the airline is being run by its interim accountable executive Datuk Seri Azharuddin Abdul Rahman. He said in a statement on Saturday that all MYAirline personnel were still under full employment and no one had been placed on unpaid leave. Sources said eight aircraft lessors have asked MYAirline to hand back the Airbus A320s since it ceased flight operations on Thursday (Oct 12). The lessors are Aviation Capital Group LLC, AerCap Holdings NV, Aircastle Ltd, Avolon, Carlyle Aviation Partners, Genesis, Mizuho and SMBC Aviation Capital. All but one of the lessors had leased one Airbus A320 each to MYAirline. Aircastle leased two to MYAirline. MYAirline's ASL ends on Nov 14, and it was recently awarded a two-year extension of its AOC. "They should have applied for the ASL renewal at least three months ago," an insider told Business Times. According to Mavcom, the renewal includes a written application along with required documents and the application shall be made at least 90 days before the date of expiry of the existing licence. "Every holder of an ASL is required to provide regular financial and operational reports to Mavcom as part of their licence's conditions," Mavcom stated in its website. If MYAirline had applied for a renewal of its ASL, it would have to submit its financial report to Mavcom as part of the requirement. "Possibly MYAirline didn't apply for the ASL renewal since no one is aware of its financial situation and shocked over the suspension of operations," the insider said.

Socso to aid MYAirline staff as some claim not paid since August PETALING JAYA: The Social Security Organisation (Socso) will come to the aid of more than 500 MYAirline staff who have been affected by the abrupt suspension of the carrier’s operations, says human resources minister V Sivakumar. This comes amid claims by some MYAirline employees that they have yet to be paid their September wages and that employer contributions to Socso and EPF have not been made since May. Pretty much what i'm seeing is the wage for July got delayed, August and September were never paid. Then EPF and Soco contributions not paid since may.

Seems like ODs turboprop operations in Subang are no longer active. But they currently still have 5 atr72-600 in posession. Edit: seems to be very downscaled operations.
