Malaysia Airlines pursues expansion in Indonesia with four new secondary destinations
New Indonesian destinations for Malaysia Airlines are Kertajati, Padang, Solo & Pekanbaru.

So MH is returning to Padang? They used to fly there, during the last days of the old airport and the early days of the new one. Then, as usual, they give it away to low-cost competitors.

Move the airport further from Putrajaya!
Sim City comes to mind.
-
No, another one. Mjets could be their temporary name
-
Seems like Mjets, They are in the phase of getting the AOC.

I think it was a mistake to abolish GST. It is so efficient to collect everything via GST. We did not need to abolish GST, just lower the rate to about 2-3%.
Can't help it since most of our politicians are socialists, and they have been teaching socialist propaganda to the masses for a long time.
-
Funny that TK can increase their flights to 11 weekly, and yet a few years ago MH cancelled their IST flights.
(My profile photo is taken during one of the IST flight)

Sure, let's make it equal then. Who's going to feel the burn of RM150 more? Your average middle income once-a-year traveller who books the cheapest possible ticket to some nearby destination, or a business traveller on a long-haul F ticket that costs as much as a car (who probably isn't paying a dime out-of-pocket)?
No, not that I think the tax should be equal between the classes. Just don't like the "What is RM 150 to them?" part.
Obviously far more. You think you pay a lot in taxes? Surely people of other nationalities would laugh at your claim. All these new taxes are done to cover the idiocy of the current government in removing GST, which is a far more equitable.
Agree on the GST part. They should've keep it. The next time they reintroduce the GST, there will be another change in government. But even without GST, we are already paying a lot in taxes, just that it was done so subtly that we don't even realize it.
-
Yes, but that is for First and Business class passengers. What is RM 150 to them?
I found this type of thinking very disturbing. We are still not a socialist country, despite attempts by lots of politicians.
Please note that AirAsia is a point to point airline and we operate out/from a different airport which is KLIA2.
The taxiway connecting KLIA2 to 32L should be closed and removed, so KLIA2 can be totally different airport.

KJT ... in the middle of nowhere, north east of Bandung. Almost as far from BDO as Jakarta is.
Found it. According to Google Maps, it takes about 2.5 hours to get to old BDO from the new airport. It takes a few minutes more to travel by road from CGK to BDO.
-
Like AA?
I guess the Americans are just as unacceptable as the Singaporeans.
-
Maybe it is KJT - Kertajati International Airport the new airport built to replace Bandung's current Husein Sastranegara International Airport which is said to only handle domestic flights in the near future. Currently it's a huge white elephant with hardly any flights, so the talk is that all international flight may soon be forced to transfer there from BDO. With bad land connection, I would just fly to Jakarta and take a bus or train to Bandung as Damri already has transfers from CGK and the railway company is talking of starting some of the regular Argo Parahyangan trains from CGK to Bandung.
Been flying to BDO a few times, heard about "a new airport for Bandung" but never see anything within logical distance to the city. So where is this KJT?

Malindo is doing wet lease for Samoa Airways. LNW is being used for the purpose.

Usually, when there is a collision between aircraft and ground vehicle, the aircraft is rarely at fault. Aircraft have the right of way if there is ever a conflict.

I noticed a lot of passengers to DPS from KUL are from Indian subcontinent flights, arriving around sunrise. The flights from DPS arrive KUL around 3 - 4 pm; most flights to Indian subcontinent are around sunset.
OD will get a lot of traffic if it can get something similar to MH850/851 timing.
DPS being in the same time zone as KUL would mean most passengers ex KUL prefer to arrive around hotel check-in time (1 to 3 pm) and depart a couple of hours after hotel check-out time (2 to 4 pm).
I paid premium to fly on these timings during the last trip.
Good idea too.
-
With a lot of flights to/from DPS, I hope OD can spread out the KUL-DPS vv sectors evenly throughout the day and not all 4 or 5 flights arriving in/departing from DPS at around the same time. During my last trip, although OD was my first choice of carrier, the plan had to be abandoned as MH has better arrival and departure time ex DPS.
OD has morning flights ex KUL to DPS with flights returning to KUL around noon. There are also flights ex KUL in the late afternoon with aircraft continuing to Australia. The Australian flights will reach DPS around noon as well, unfortunately making ex DPS flights to KUL concentrated in the midday.

Is it going to be a raised platform? With shade? Multiple story? (so that those who need shade can be downstair and the kakis can be upstair) Located in a set up ala mini highway R&R for families? I just hope it is designed with plane spotters in mind technically, and not ended up being a bus stop or a "pondok durian" kinda structure.
The structure will need spotters input to be successful.

At mab current service level, it couldn't increase ticket price or yield. Likely remain unprofitable until the whole bod and top management are replaced and adopted a new business model.
Just wondering what "new business model" is suitable for MAB? Any idea?
-
They forgot one little psychological detail. The shopping area should be after the baggage check-in area because once you offload your baggage, your hands are free and the chance of you buying something is greater.
-
SYD not in the list yet?
-
Have Malindo meanwhile a Crewbase at Denpasar for the routes to Australia?
No. Crew operated all the way from KUL to Australia. For the return sector, replacement crew will be paxed from KUL for the KUL - DPS sector while the crew from Australia will pax back on the same flight.

Looking forward to revisiting this city, last visited on Sept 11, 2001.

There is a Hindu pilgrimage site near TRZ. Not sure what it is but it does contribute to some traffic.
-
On the flip side, what is so special about Kochi that everyone (AK, MH and OD) serve it? I could only think of an incentive by the airport/local government.
Not sure about MH, but passenger numbers are good on OD and AK. No statistics but based on pilots experience doing the TRZ flights on both airline. The ground support team in TRZ are super efficient too.
-
Maybe they could sell those seats on behalf of MH or AK. Really hate to see aircraft flying empty while spewing hydrocarbon into the atmosphere.

OD will get 3 more B737NG in addition to the 3 they already have now.
On the B737 MAX side, I think they have 19 now. No more delivery this year.
On the rumor side, OD might be eyeing for some A330 next year. Still on rumor basis.
