  1. “We are positioning ourselves as a Five-Star Value Carrier,” he explained. “It is about providing value, but at very affordable fares. We want to be a Toyota, not a Mercedes.”

     

    darn, being a "toyota" isn't exactly 5 star :(

     

    Would be happier if MH wanted to be a BMW 3 series rather than a 7series :p


  2. Though i still remember back in the nineties, the meals were a lot huger! Even in domestic, flying in and out of borneo one gets a full hot meal! With appetiser, roti and all!

     

    Now we would thank our lucky stars when one gets hot meals.

     

    unless you travel by airasia :pardon:

     

    i remember MH used to give out sweets prior to landing on their intra borneo flights


  3. I for one support this new "KLIA East"

     

    AirAsia is among a new breed of companies, much like nuffang/ google who are dynamic and places profit 1st and protocol 2nd. I'm not sure how everyone else will feel about this, but at least it will get the job done. fast.

     

    MAHB should focus on attracting foreign airlines. but they can't even satisfy local customers. So many "plans" of theirs are long overdue. Remember when they announced that all airports within M'sia will have free wifi way back in 07? Even KLIA as a "designated hub" still dosent have acceptable wifi speeds. why do something if you can't do it properly?

     

    It's petty of me to take wifi as an example, but it's 1 of many unfulfilled promises by MAHB.


  4. Wah,down memory lane! :clapping:

     

     

    lucky you to have that picture, timothy!

     

     

    Damnnnn... Incredible photograph man! :yahoo: Unfortunately I've never seen those MAS F50s in real :( Lucky I've got MasWings and Firefly just in time at SZB last year :)

     

    Wow, din't expect so many positive replies. :) the picture quality is somewhat poor .. apologies for that :sorry: It was taken on Dec 19th 2005.

     

    I got 1 more showing the 3rd F50 landing. Taken when seated in MAS b737.

    If MH has the world's best cabin crew, then AirAsia must have the world's friendliest ground crew :yahoo: :yahoo:

     


  5. here's my lousy contribution :(

    in unrelated news, on my flight was part of the crew for MHS Aviation which operates the Sikorsky s-76's here. according to them, their base in Miri is due to shutdown and more choppers are due for bintulu ? :pardon:


  6. but you get to see the nice SQ a380 hanging from the ceiling :p

     

    they use to have a car contest for the whole of last year if i recall. my only chance to stare at a luxury car for more than 3 hours xD

     

    but dont bother comming to the airport too early tho .. check in counter only opens at 6pm for the 10pm flight.


  7.  

    Vincent Tan's private bird is 9M-TAN, a Bombardier Challenger 300. Incidentally, airline.net and jetphotos.net is a pretty good intelligence source to show where are his new business venture. B)

     

    Believe the latest member to Malaysia corporate jet club is Genting/RWB.

     

    :drinks:

     

    odd that VT finds the need to have his own jet (ie: not company owned:P)

     

     

    Maybe you were referring to Country Heights' 733 9M-CHG?

     

    is this plane still in service with them ?

     

     

    Anybody know anything about Datuk Tiong's plane? He's the MP of Bintulu (my hometown :) ) he used to have a Lear45 but now flys in a G-IV (i think)

     

    have photos of the plane, but its all back home :(
