Thank goodness everyone is safe.

I don't think we can classify diversions as being "unsafe". At least the diversions resulted in safe outcomes.

That C172 may be on its way to ST Aerospace Academy.

Learned a very expensive lesson in this Boleh-land. Flew into KLIA2 on AK with a connection on 3K from KLIA1 to SIN. 2 hours connecting time no problem so I gave myself some time to walk around KLIA2, since it was my first time there. I decided to take the KLIA express to KLIA about 1 hour to STD. Siapa tahu the train broke down at KLIA1 and there were no train services between the two terminals. Eventually I took a metred taxi to KLIA1 and missed my 3K flight, and bought a one-way fresh ticket to SIN (RM790).

tried to make a booking from SIN to KUL only to get error messages.

SIBU: A Singapore training aircraft skidded and veered off the airport runway during landing on Monday.
The King Air C90B with three people on board, had earlier took off from Seletar, Singapore.
"The pilot and two trainees were foreigners. They escaped without injuries," Sibu airport manager Zainuddin Abu Nasir told reporters.
"We have brought them for observation before they will fly off again tomorrow (Tuesday)," he said.
Asked on what caused the incident, Zainuddin said the Air Accident and Air Airworthiness Unit of the Transport Ministry was investigating the mishap.
He said seven flights were affected after the airport was closed for three hours from noon.
The cancelled flights were Flight AK5872 from Kuala Lumpur to Sibu, and Kuala Lumpur-bound AK5873.
The outgoing flights that were delayed included AK5013 Sibu-Johor Baru; AK5883 Sibu-Kuala Lumpur; AK6469 Sibu-Kuching; MH3703 Sibu-Kuching; MH3154 Sibu-Kota Kinabalu and MH3806 Sibu-Bintulu/Miri.
Zainuddin said that Flight AK5882, which was on its way from Kuching, had to make a turn back.
A passenger of an Air Asia Johor-bound Flight AK5013, who only wished to be identified as Tou, said the plane was about to depart when the pilot decided to turn back.
"It was about noon when the plane was slowly moving out from the runway and was about to depart. About three minutes later, the pilot decided to turn back.
"We were not told of the reason but from the window, we knew why as we could see a small plane that was a little bit out of the runway," he said.
Tou, who is from Kapit, was using the flight as a transit to Singapore.
The flight was delayed to 4pm resulting in passengers being stranded at the airport.
Teacher David Teo was sending his mother off at the airport when her 1.10pm Air Asia flight to Kuching had to be delayed due to the incident.
"My brother called up at about 2.30pm, asking why the plane had not landed. We have to tell him the reason for the delay," he said.

Malaysia Airlines, which is reeling from two tragedies in four months, appears to have launched a questionably named contest in Australia and New Zealand called “My Ultimate Bucket List”, The Huffington Post reported.
The name for the contest, launched on Monday, was not exactly the best choice of words in view of the tragedy that struck Flight MH17 and the disappearance of Flight MH370.
A bucket list is made up of things one wants to do, see or accomplish before dying.
The Huffington Post said the competition was promoted as "a game of skill" and only customers in Australia and New Zealand are eligible to take part.
As part of the entry submission, contestants must submit an answer of 500 words or less to the question: “What and where would you like to tick off on your bucket list, and explain why?”
Prizes include a free iPad and a free economy-class ticket to a destination in Malaysia, to be determined by the airline.
Yesterday, media outlets and netizens lamented the airline’s unfortunately-named contest.
“Straight from the files of What Were You Thinking? comes a 'Bucket List'-themed contest from Malaysia Airlines that ranks as the second worst decision recently made by the beleaguered travel brand,” The Huffington Post quoted MediaBistro's Claire Daniel as writing, referring to the airline's recent decision to lay off 6,000 workers as part of its restructuring plan.
However, The Huffington Post said following the criticisms, MAS might have reconsidered the contest.
It said the original link to the competition on the airline’s website returns a 404 error though a PDF version still exists.
The airline did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.
All 298 passengers and crew on board Flight MH17 were killed when the MAS 777 aircraft exploded over strife-torn eastern Ukraine on July 17 after it was believed to have been hit by a missile.
Dutch air crash investigators have said that an initial report into what brought down flight MH17 in Ukraine will be released “this week or the next”.
There is still no sign of Flight MH370 which disappeared on March 8 enroute to Beijing with 239 people on board despite the millions of dollars spent, massive tracts of land and ocean searched, and sophisticated equipment deployed. – September 3, 2014.

I've always wonder if inflight duty free sales really generate enough profits to justify sustaining that practice. If they just get rid of the trolleys products out of the aircraft that should be some savings in fuel over the long run.

The new 738s are good with its interiors but sadly the seat pitch is still very tight and at times seems even smaller than its previous 734s. And MAS have been using its 738s to fly to HK and Guangzhou, Taipei - which is quite a tight fit for 4 to 5 hrs flight.
and DEL!
-
however, common sense also dictates that that the fare for example below rm20 or below S$40, is not the final fare - as airport charges and airport's security fees alone would come up to S$43 in Singapore.
Then they should reflect that as airport charges and airport security fees. They should tell consumers TOTAL PRICE: SGD59.50 on one page then SGD210.50 the next.
That's not the way to win back customers.

I just wrote to MAS regarding what may be discrepancies in their fares. I found out recently that a return flight from SIN to HAN via KUL is priced at SGD5.00 before taxes. So on the "Flight Selection" page, the Total Price reflected is SGD59.50. Once I clicked "NEXT" to "Review Your Itinerary and Price" page, the fare jumped from SGD5 to SGD156.
Am I missing something here or this is some con job?
-
MAS should probably think of picking up two or three of these so that all their EU routes can be operated by A380s. Their Asian and Aussie routes can be served by A333s. Then they can retire the B772s for good.
I fully agree.

Airbus talks to potential buyers for Skymark A380 jets
Wondering if MAS would be interested to pick up a few if the price is right.
-
"MAS Flight MH136 halts take-off to avoid crashing into jet"- I think the word "crashing" is a bit too harsh.
That's typical of journalists isn't it?
-
-
Maybe they should retire the entire fleet of 772 quickly. Two cases involving 772 don't go well with the public.
-
I'm just too sad to say anything.
Be strong Capt. Life has to go on. We find solace that those on board are now at a better place at peace.

A330 NEO. Got the range and not as costly for training.
