    Over 2,000 jobseekers at Malindo Airways office

     

    PETALING JAYA: Over 2,000 people looking for jobs showed up at the walk-in interview at Malaysia's newest low cost airline, Malindo Airways office at KLIA on Thursday morning.

    The airline did not expect so many people to show up. A large number of those who showed up were pilots, as there are over 1,174 pilots in the country that are still unemployed.

    Malindo is offering jobs for pilots, cabin crew, engineering and general support positions.

    The airline has taken up space at KLIA main terminal building where its office is located and the airline is planning to begin commercial operations on May 1, starting with flights to Indonesia.

    This will be the country's second low cost airline after AirAsia. Malindo is a joint venture between Malaysia's Nadi Sdn Bhd and Indonesia's Lion Air. Nadi has 51% equity stake in Malindo while the owners of Lion Air, the Kirana brothers hold 49% stake in Malindo via PT Lion Grup.

    There is, forgot the name, 'Miri Executive Lounge' or something but I could be mistaken. It's on the right side after the quasi-immigration counter, open to MH biz class pax and Enrich Gold, RM50 per entry for others. Used it 3 months ago.

     

    Yup, just beside immigration counter. Here the picture MH's executive lounge taken during outstation to MYY on last april.

    Woman hurt as ceiling at airport falls

     

    GEORGE TOWN: A portion of the plaster ceiling near the ticketing office at the Penang International Airport collapsed yesterday morning following a continuous downpour.

    In the 8am incident, a female customer service staff member sustained minor head and chin injuries when the falling debris hit her as she was walking below.

     

    The woman, known as Lidiyawati, an employee with Kuala Lumpur Airport Services (KLAS), was taken to Penang Hospital where she received outpatient treatment.

     

    The ceiling gave way near the KLAS office at the departure hall's common area, leaving a big hole.

     

    The KLAS office was temporarily flooded, with the furniture getting wet. Passengers were seen avoiding the slippery floor.

     

    Airport senior manager Mohd Arif Jaafar said excessive rainwater flowing through a pipe mounted above the ceiling had burst.

     

    "A section of the pipe gave way and fell through the ceiling, causing the rainwater and debris to come down.

     

    "About 50 airport staff and cleaners were deployed to clean up the debris and mop the floor," he said, adding that the clean-up exercise took less than an hour.

     

    Arif said airport workers dismantled the ceiling near the hole and remedial work was being carried out.

     

    He said no flights were disrupted and airport operations went on as usual.

     

    The airport is undergoing major renovations costing RM250 million. They will be completed soon.

    expanding its services between Singapore and Sabah and Sarawak and reinstating the flights between the city state and Terengganu.

    They will resume back TGG-SIN route even load factor quite bad last time, probably route operational we can see KBR-TGG-SIN? Really hope not only flight expansion between Sabah/Sarawak to Singapore but resume back to Kuala Lumpur.

    AirAsia wants to collaborate with Malindo Airlines? I hope that Pak Rusdi open his eyes BIG ... read news reports and expert opinions on what happened in the Comprehensive Collaboration Framework (CCF) between AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines (including the curtailment of jet services by Firefly) ... and then decide if he needs Tony Fernandes as a partner.

     

    KC Sim

     

    Agreed, not only Pak Rusdi should open his eyes BIG but Malaysian's stake holder NADI as well. I'm not sure why TF want to collaborate with Malindo now, why not before Lion JV with NADI. So we can smell something here. :D

    KUALA LUMPUR: Frills-free airline, AirAsia, will not hesitate to establish itself in India if the “aviation environment” and tax structure are “conducive and friendly” for low-cost airline operations.

     

    Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (pic) said although the Indian government had allowed 49% foreign direct investments (FDIs) in the country's civil aviation sector, the cost of operating an airline there was still higher than many developed nations. “This is the power of AirAsia. Everyone wants us but the right infrastructure and environment must be there for us to go there (India).

     

    “The airport tax is already very high and I even heard that they are going to further increase the tax, forcing many airlines to quit from certain destinations.

     

    “If everything is right, then we will be stupid not to enter the Indian market, which boasts more than a billion population,” he told reporters after opening AirAsia's Badminton Academy here yesterday.

    Fernandes said he would be visiting India late this month but not for a joint-venture discussion as was reported but to receive an Indian international award for his remarkable achievements in the global aviation industry.

     

    He said the most crucial area that AirAsia always paid attention before venturing into a new market was keeping its cost down. “It's for that reason AirAsia's medium-and long-haul affiliate, AirAsia X, withdrew from flying to New Delhi and Mumbai.”

     

    An AirAsia unit in India and China is said to be the ultimate aspiration of Fernandes, the brain behind the budget airline's meteoric rise since its inception in late 2001.

     

    Shortly after the Indian government gave the go-ahead for FDIs in the civil aviation and multi-brand retail on Sept 14, Fernandes, who is now based in Jakarta overseeing the AirAsia Asean regional expansion, had tweeted: “Fantastic news that India has opened up investments to foreign airlines. With India opening up, this is fantastic news for airlines like AirAsia. Great that (the) Indian government has put people first.”

     

    Bernama also reported that Budget airline AirAsia is seeking to discuss potential areas of collaboration with stakeholders of the new Malindo Airways.

     

    Fernandes said in this regard, he would be meeting with Lion Air's parent company, PT Lion Grup's (rpt Grup) president director Rusdi Kirana soon.

     

    “We can collaborate with Malindo Airways. I am not here to make enemies. I will meet Rusdi over dinner soon.

     

    “There are many thing that we can collaborate on. Personally, I respect Rusdi who has done a fantastic job in Indonesia,” Fernandes told reporters after launching AirAsia's Badminton Academy, here yesterday.

     

    However, he said the competition between AirAsia and Malindo Airways, was still on.

     

    “AirAsia has a very strong foothold in the regional aviation industry to face the competition. - Bernama

    AirAsia, Malindo bekerjasama?

    KUALA LUMPUR 26 Sept. - Syarikat penerbangan tambang murah, AirAsia sedang berusaha membincangkan bidang yang berpotensi dilakukan kerjasama dengan pihak berkepentingan Malindo Airways yang baharu ditubuhkan.

     

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan AirAsia, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes berkata, dalam hubungan ini, beliau akan menemui Presiden Pengarah PT Lion Grup, Rusdi Kirana tidak lama lagi. PT Lion Grup adalah syarikat induk Lion Air.

     

    "Kami boleh bekerjasama dengan Malindo Airways. Saya bukan berada di sini untuk mencari musuh. Saya akan menghadiri makan malam dengan Rusdi tidak lama lagi.

     

    "Banyak perkara yang kami boleh jalin kerjasama. Secara peribadi, saya menghormati Rusdi yang telah melaksanakan tugas yang cemerlang di Indonesia," kata Fernandes kepada pemberita selepas pelancaran Akademi Badminton AirAsia di sini hari ini.

    Bagaimanapun, katanya, persaingan antara AirAsia dan Malindo Airways masih berterusan.

     

    "AirAsia mempunyai kehadiran yang kukuh di dalam industri serantau bagi menghadapi persaingan.

     

    "Tanpa diragui, kami akan bersaing antara satu sama lain. Saya tahu apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk mendahului," katanya.

    National Aerospace and Defence Industries Sdn. Bhd. (Nadi) dan PT Lion Grup akan membentuk syarikat penerbangan tambang murah Malindo Airways, yang diambang memulakan operasi pada Mei 2013 menggunakan KLIA2 di Sepang.

     

    Ia merancang menawarkan penerbangan di Malaysia dan Indonesia serta ke Thailand, China, India, Jepun dan Australia.

    Nadi memiliki kepentingan 51 peratus di dalam Malindo Airways dan bakinya dipegang oleh Lion Grup.

     

    Sementara itu, Fernandes berkata, AirAsia tidak teragak-agak untuk beroperasi di India jika persekitaran penerbangan dan struktur cukainya mesra dan kondusif bagi operasi syarikat penerbangan tambang murah.

     

    Kata beliau, walaupun kerajaan India membenarkan pelaburan langsung asing sebanyak 49 peratus dalam sektor penerbangan negara itu, kos mengurus operasi penerbangan di sana masih tinggi berbanding kebanyakan negara maju.

     

    "Inilah kehebatan AirAsia. Semua mahukan kami, namun infrastruktur dan persekitaran yang sesuai mesti disediakan untuk kami pergi ke sana (India).

     

    "Cukai lapangan terbang masih terlalu tinggi, malah saya dengar mereka mahu menaikkan cukai, yang memaksa syarikat penerbangan menghentikan operasi ke destinasi tertentu.

     

    "Jika semuanya berjalan lancar, rugilah kami jika tidak memasuki pasaran India, yang mempunyai lebih daripada satu bilion penduduk," katanya.

     

    Fernandes berkata, beliau akan melawat India lewat bulan ini, namun bukan untuk perbincangan usaha sama seperti dilaporkan, tetapi untuk menerima anugerah antarabangsa India atas pencapaian cemerlang beliau dalam industri penerbangan dunia.

    Beliau berkata, bidang utama yang sentiasa diberikan perhatian oleh AirAsia sebelum meneroka pasaran baharu ialah menurunkan kos.

     

    "Atas alasan itulah syarikat sekutu AirAsia bagi penerbangan jarak sederhana dan jauh, AirAsia X, menarik diri dari terbang ke New Delhi dan Mumbai," katanya. - BERNAMA

    I never use my full real name to book any tickets. I took my name and my father name. Ex: Abu Bakar Bin Mohd Ismail. I will type as Bakar Ismail.

     

    Never had argument with airliners even in Europe & Australia.

    Its book-able. But not from the main booking engine. Try dummy booking on other routes and click new search. There you can book SZB-KBR

     

    Not bad RM154 for return!

     

    Yup,. now book-able. Not bad RM97 all in fare for one way. Beside KBR, new route for Berjaya Air is Hua Hin (HHQ), Thailand. Now problem is i want to register the account but forename only accept 15 char while surname can accept unlimited char. Could I use my forename as Surname and Surname as my forename or I just enter forename without spacing, its mean continuous?
