Just to confirm - repainting looks like it is happening in SZB. The 744 silhouette seen outside KUL hangars by myself the other night could have been one of the now retired 74Fs..
-
KLIA toilets are good enough as it is.
Ermm... No. KLIA toilets are pushing 18 years of age in some locations... The refurbished toilets at departure level concourse of MTB are tacky and lacked integration with the rest of the terminal... If there is one thing I admire at Changi - it's the rate of restroom refurbishment and standard of maintenance.. These simple lessons and tasks go a long way to improving the overall passenger experience.
-
Failed go-around, caused by adverse weather (drifting snow, strong winds) in poor visibility and night conditions, coupled with a possibly fatigued crew - spatial disorientation does come to mind.. Wouldn't be the first..
All speculation. None of the above is substantiated. Just an opinion.

MPP was parked out of the hangar in the dark last night.. Hope someone's got her in good light today

Still think that is an A333
And I shall be corrected!! Sweeeeeeeeeet!

Used to be PIO - Person of Indian Origin
And no.. I don't have. I am third generation Malaysian.

Now that is awesome!
Just to confirm that it is indeed a B744 and not MTL which is in for the retrofit... The tail is too wrapped up in plastic to differentiate between a 744 and a 333

Russia could be Moscow to the west, or Vladivostok to the East... The latter has a large oil and gas population that pre oil-price drop was booming with construction and investment.. Might be a nifty stop between KL and Pacific US destinations also

Prices are low compared to SQ, but seeing some video reviews online and comparing.. U do realise also that the standard of product and service is quite different.. E.g single meal linen tray service versus table service and course by course on SQ.. Complete lie flat on SQ, albeit diagonal coupled with direct aisle access for all long haul types.. This EK is comparable to the regional J class product found on B773/B772 and A333 at SQ.. Nothing really special IMO.. Only the price 😊

Absolutely lovely shots, Azahan!

MEL remote parking.. Other remote stands along taxiway A and T are heavily occupied also.. The international terminal is heavily occupied in the morning, most aircraft on extended layovers are towed to remote bays. For SQ, this is SQ227 (B77W/A388).. All other SQ flights apart from SQ217 turnaround within 1.5hrs.. So remain at the gate.. But we cannot plan to arrive too early, else have to wait for an available gate..
Just to emphasise, pax do not deplane remotely.. The aircraft is towed away from the terminal once all servicing is complete post-flight and is later towed back to a terminal stand pre-flight

Point-to-point traffic, London is the best bet. Student/family traffic is the aim.. AirAsiaX targets the masses whom wouldn't ordinarily consider making a trip, but if the fare is right they will go in a heart-beat!
It is not uncommon for people to regularly peruse the AirAsia site for deals on a day-to-day basis.. This form of cherry picking is absolutely one marketing ace budget carriers pull. You only often visit a legacy carrier page if you are certain of ur travel plans or if on a competitive basis with a carrier like AirAsia.

And we continue with the brainless postings...
"Yeahhh
it is full with complaints
but.........demographically (ehemmmmm...not to point fingers to anyone), the tendency of complaining happened to be skewed to one ethnic / race."
Well done, Affendi - for your genuinely stupid opinion.. If people are upset at whatever - In today's context it is part and parcel for them to post their opinions (no matter how educated/uneducated) on social media - just as you have done with your post! Gold star, buddy!

News reports of a crashed "small" TUDM aircraft on the beaches of Kuala Selangor.

If they're keeping - better upgrade the product too...
-
To be honest, mulling fleet expansion now is good - indicates that early stage targets have/or are being met and more concrete forward planning can occur.
Perhaps even an MoU for B737MAX might be in the offing, given that the region and such a fleet are at the forefront of the BOP.

The Wau encircled on the original 1972 MH logo was IMO a most intriguing and symbolic image - that of "controlled flight".
This should come back in some way or form and could be extended in meaning to be representative of a more guided MAS having ought to have learnt from the mistakes of the past. A colour long associated with MAS but ever exploited in marketing is the aqua-green/blue of the uniforms as well as the trademark gold. Although it would appear as "plagiarised", using gold for the Wau would certainly be befitting.
Perhaps a more traditional Wau from the current stylised "jellyfish" and with a gradient batik motif (similar to that on the uniform) combined with the "freedom of space" lines on the fuselage, with just the words "Malaysia" once more. The flag should continue to appear above the windows and aft of the title lettering.. or perhaps in front of the registration, similar to Qantas.
-
Judging from the similar characters and colour scheme from the YouTube new J class product, Purple seems to be a colour pallete being leaned towards for the new identity
-
He needs somewhere to park his order book of aircraft... Anyway, doubt a Batik Thai would take off any time soon, especially given the recent downgrading of Thais DCA by ICAO...
Perhaps why Malindo is expanding aggressively in the first half of this year given DCA Malaysia audit by ICAO expected in second half...
-
Very nice! the last YPPH thread was many many many years back.
Would be great to grab a picture of the two MH birds on the ground at the same time (albeit the schedules provide all of 5 minutes for such to occur)
-
Yeah, runway extension however has been challenged by New Zealand pilots due to the nature of rotor turbulence over the bay just before the runway threshold.. If that becomes the landing zone, risk to airplanes may be percieved to increase... Additionally the runway extension doesn't incorporate sufficient RESA in the design.. Big contention over that issue
-
We are surprised too. Not least to say the selection of the B772 ahead of the A333. Alas, hope to fly these sectors soon after the September commencement. Crew rotations will be interesting to say the least.. Predicting Augmented crewing with night stops in WLG, iso CBR.
5:10 aircraft layover in WLG..
SQ291 (-T-T-SS) SIN-CBR 2300/0835+1
SQ291 (M-W-F-S) CBR-WLG 0950/1505
SQ292 (M-W-F-S) WLG-CBR 2015/2205
SQ292 (M-W-F-S) CBR-SIN 2330/0550+1

So they won't even use their own metal to DXB??? Seems silly... Or perhaps this is the beginnings of a takeover by EK
