Af pilos soon could refuse the 330/340 until sensors are fixed http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=a8dY0m8FTZkI

Airbus has now issued a warning to replace speed measurements .

Investigators now are thinking up the possibility of False speed indicators like Birgen Air Crash

Which type -800 -900 -1000. I think AK should take the 787 as it would look stunning in AK colours

Hopefully Air Comet can shunned some light in to this

You mean the KLM part

Episode called Helicopter Down

The plane had a C or D check on the 14th of April 2009. So the plane is maintained well this could be like TWA 800. If I could i would want to find out if it haD a tail strike or is there a part of THE a330 that was faulty reminds me of DC-10's that had the faulty door. Issac "mODERN" Bermuda Strike. The french have asked the US help. But the media is going crazy and saying that 2 engines are unsafe on planes. Just IN This was reported in the same area where JJ plane saw the orange spots. Sailors 'spot debris in Atlantic'Article from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print By staff writers and wires June 02, 2009 07:04pm Distraught ... relatives arrive at the Charles de Gaulle airport crisis centre. Picture: Gonzalo Fuentes / Reuters / No Source Air France jet missing over Atlantic Crew of other plane see "bright spots" In pictures: Flight that never arrived A330's history of electric and pressure faults DEBRIS floating on the Atlantic Ocean in the area where a missing Air France passenger jet is suspected of crashing has been sighted by crew on a French freighter, Brazilian media has reported. The sighting by the crew on the Douce France is said to be in the same area off the coast of Senegal where a Brazil TAM airline pilot spotted what was thought to be a burning piece of wreckage. Brazilian carrier TAM said the crew of one of its planes saw "bright spots" on the surface of the ocean. The sighting took place at about the same time that Air France Flight 447 vanished from radar. The Airbus A330 carrying 228 people on board went missing on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said there was little chance of finding any survivors. Planes are continuing to search the Atlantic Ocean. France and Brazil sent military aircraft and ships to try to find wreckage between Brazil and West Africa. US President Barack Obama has offered full assistance in the search. "We will search all night long and keep going through dawn," said Colonel Jorge Amaral of the Brazilian air force. "We have to work as if it were possible to find survivors." If none are found, it would be the worst disaster in Air France's 75-year history and the deadliest since one of the company's supersonic Concorde planes crashed in 2000. Air France flight 447 left Brazil on Sunday night local time and lost contact with air traffic controllers in the early hours of the morning ( about 12.15pm yesterday AEST). It was carrying 216 passengers of 32 nationalities, including seven children and one baby, Air France said. Sixty-one were French citizens, 58 Brazilian and 26 German. Twelve crew members were also on board. Tearful relatives in Paris and Rio were attended to by teams of psychologists. The Air France plane flew into turbulent storms four hours after taking off from Rio and 15 minutes later sent an automatic message reporting electrical faults, the airline said. The company said a lightning strike could be to blame and that several of the mechanisms on the Airbus 330-200, which has a good safety record, had malfunctioned. But aviation experts said lightning strikes on planes were common and could not alone explain a disaster. Sources with access to flight data sent to the World Meteorological Organisation said two Lufthansa jets passed through the same area of turbulence yesterday without incident. Experts also said the plane could have suffered an electrical failure, effectively leaving the pilots "blind" and making the plane more vulnerable in an area notorious for harsh weather. Aviation specialists said it could take a long time to locate the black box. Air France said the plane, which was powered with General Electric engines, went into service in April 2005. It last underwent maintenance in a hangar in April this year In October last year a computer glitch caused a Qantas A330 to climb before nose diving over Western Australia injuring dozens of passengers. In November 2007 six people were injured in a "depressurisation incident" during the test flight of an Airbus A330 to be delivered to Air Mauritius.

French Pm visiting AF headquarters. Let's Prey their alive and landed somewhere like Bermuda. This would be the first Civilan crash of the A330. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...9Dgq5wD98HRB7O0 Air France jet missing over Atlantic Ocean By ALAN CLENDENNING – 21 minutes ago SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — An Air France jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris lost contact with air traffic controllers over the Atlantic Ocean, an Air France official said Monday. Brazil immediately began a search mission off its northeastern coast. Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330, was carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew members, company spokeswoman Brigitte Barrand said. The plane disappeared about 186 miles (300 kilometers) northeast of the coastal Brazilian city of Natal, near the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, an air force spokesman said. Brazil's air force said a search began Monday morning near Fernando de Noronha, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with Air Force policy. An official with the French government's transport agency said contact with the plane was lost at 0220 GMT Monday (10:20 p.m. EDT Sunday). The official was not authorized to be named according to agency policy. Barrand said the airline installed an information center at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport for the families of those aboard. "Air France regrets to announce that it is without news from Air France flight 447 flying from Rio to Paris," she said. "Air France shares the emotion and worry of the families concerned." The flight was scheduled to arrive in Paris at 0915 GMT (5:15 a.m. EDT), according to the airport. Airbus declined to comment until more details emerge. French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed his "extreme worry" and sent the junior minister for transport, Dominique Bussereau, and Environment Minister Jean-Louis Borloo to Charles de Gaulle airport to monitor the situation.

He blasted fictitious internet rumours that he is suffering from pancreatic cancer and has only weeks to live. He called the claims "a complete and utter load of b*******." Earlier this year, Mr O'Leary said his leaner look was in keeping with with recessionary times and insisted that previously he was "about a stone overweight." Rumours The budget airline chief was again the target of weekend rumours on websites and mobile phones that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer. The fresh rumours claimed he had been given a terminal prognosis -- and that was the reason for his much commented on loss of weight. It prompted O'Leary to blast the rumour mongers. "Ryanair has a long standing policy of never commenting on rumour or speculation," a Ryanair spokesperson told one newspaper. "However, in this case, Michael decided to make an exception." In March, Mr O'Leary whose wife Anita is expecting their third child, dismissed concerns over his dramatic weight loss by insisting there was nothing wrong with him. Health Pictures of him beneath a trilby hat at the Cheltenham races showed he had shed many pounds. "I'm in blooming health," he declared at the racing festival. "Only the good die young, so in that case, I'm going to live to a ripe old age," he said. He first sparked concerns about his health a few months ago after he was snapped looking far slimmer at the start of the new year. But he insisted he was "getting fat, dumb and happy" during the good times. "Now there's a leaner, more caring me for these recessionary times," he said in January. mlavery@herald.ie - Michael Lavery

Is it Malaysia only

Who needs MH as if your a backpacker these savings are excellent

The colours in the seats look so ugly and more 70's. Hope MH can be more creative.

Try Lion air 739to bali then fly Virgin Blue to Syd 738 it think if not just fly to bne with VB to syd with 737 738 e-170 or e190. This is a good theme if you like to fly 737's or want to fly e170's/e190's

Currently via Sydney and now soon direct to AKL read somewhere but can't remeber where Does anybody want pics of N707JT at BNE

What's it called

It should by a airline in India as the market is growing or buy a UK charter company ex. Morarch as It can lend its lazy planes to them in low season and MH can take planes for high season or Haji as its low season in the UK.

I looked everywhere for that episode Tamizi can you please provide a lionk. All is appreciated

Clue is the 747-300's PW JT9D's Nice to see a 747-300 still flying

Try transfer the topic to MH forum I'm sure can be willing to help customers.

What's 774 is its boeing 777-400 is it going to be Boeing's new composite 777 It's a great time for MH to buy new planes as nobody wants to buy planes. There are many savings to inccure

Still better than MH and also you do get miles. While MH lets just say nothing. BI's under 17 policy consider as child is very attractive. MH also on a number of routes to Asia and Australia don't have miles which others can go to for ex CX, SQ or BI and even EK and they offer very attractive fare, miles and QUALITY. Not some cheap product as many travellers see in Asia quite common food is provided on even 2hr flights and the food is quality and portion is demmed reasonable unlike someone's I call it the Happy Meal. Happy Meal= Snack Box but no toy.

Invest in new technologies like 787 and invest in product. As some people are prepared to a prenium to fly on a better product. After all SQ, TG and even BI have reasonable prices and QUALITY product.
