Isnt the 160 is the current layout with the J class too? Also jani, have some livery photo: https://twitter.com/FHavg/status/758221284329164802/photo/1 Of course the livery may just be changed.

Hmm the Reuters news piece does not include the breakdown of the order - i read somewhere its a mix of Max8 and Max9s.

So BBJ just for royalty and "Royalty"? But seriously, the A321neo is great for this side of the world. Can offer frequency . Also if they order, will this be MAS's first airbus NB order?

Hmm. Here's a question - can the current OD planes fly to KIX? I know they are going to TPE soon, but does it have enough legpower to fly to KIX from KUL, or you still need to get airborne from BKI?

But this is an old response no? I've seen this at KLIA2 since it was opened.

And the order finally appears. Here is the Farnborough 2016 biggest order for now : AirAsia orders 100 #Airbus A321neo https://twitter.com/VincentLamigeon/status/752871874720325632

The question is - will they have the MAS problem - multiple brands c/s on their planes?

The problem that i see is that once we have Tiger and Nok in, saturation will be at a high level - and more antics may pop up. Sad to see Rayani go. Also still waiting to see if Mojo will ever get their mojo around.

Why the frowny face? The review looks great - full of nitpicks rather than complaints.

This is a computer render, so changes were expected. Question - does anyone know what will happen to the previously installed seats? Resold? Repurposed?

To make it complete, we need an a330 in the classic a300 colours!

Time to save up for a business class flight then. Looks nice and classy.

Are they just going to reactivate it, or refurbish it as well? I mean, MAS has excess J-class seats now....

http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/malaysias-malindo-air-to-pursue-faster-expansion-following-rebranding-and-fully-embracing-fsc-model-271345 is the link if anybody wants to read up on it. Oh wow, another Japan-bound carrier?

Is the spotting compulsory? Or can just tag along and learn from the sifu group?

Nope, you are not wrong. Also a one way ticket from Kl to SIN is much cheaper - only Rm 284!

Maybe FRA will be a second choice, but TF does work base on popular vote. And when the route opens with not-as-cheap as the public think fares, it will not work, and TF may just cut it out again saying something along the lines of "not economically feasible"or something like that. Of course that may just be my mis-informed opinion kot. This is a great time for the AK group to talk and find an european partner tho. Feeding each other via D7.

The plane is pretty and all, but what i am interested is that thing that is towing the Embraer out!

They may just want to appeal to the cheapskates in people. Of course air asia tickets arent really cheap-ER. But Air Asia has been associated with the cheap mindset so......

I think someone asked here somewhere - why didn't they follow SQ306? Northerly route and all.

That is the main reason for creating their own design - even though it is based on existing products. They can sell the design to other airlines.

Is 350 including the ground staff at KLIA2, KBR and LGK?

Yep I agree. Unless this is just the first of many leased planes and they just need a machine to work now. Maybe they are following AirAsia's footsteps who is now making LGK a hub?

Man, i wished that they have gone the proper repaint rather than just a decal treatment. Its kind of glaring to see the hull where obvious paint-overs can be spotted in bright sunlight. However it is GREAT that we get to use the smarties again! Thanks Nabiel for the short TR.
