The fact that the aircraft went off the runway around the middle means they landed properly, but unable to control the aircraft after landing. If they overrun the runway then an incidence has happened before landing such as deviating from GS or improper speed.
Any further comments will be reserved until further information are known.

I wonder what disciplinary action MAB took against the flight crew other than more training...
Considering that the incident happened before August 2015, there is a good chance that the crew was given some parting gift on the 31st of August 2015 and set free to get a higher paying job somewhere else.
But this is just a speculation.

Looks like the stabilized approach criteria was not followed.
-
Rumours are going around they are going for SYD and MEL, clearly bringing their fight to MH and AirAsia Group.
That is what the A330s are for.

So officially it will be Batik Air Malaysia and not Malindo Air right?
Malindo will change the name to Batik Malaysia. When, nobody knows yet. It was supposed to be at the beginning of this year, now delayed. Maybe they are now hoping to do the change at the end of the year.
-
Personally, I hope it is anything BUT the B777. Having MH flying the B777 again so soon feels like an insult to me and colleagues.
-
Good news.
-
I know it's a long shot in the dark, but what are chances of Malindo making it to London/Europe ahead of D7 ?
If they do, it will be great. Even if they make it after D7, it will still be great.

There is a stop at DPS.
I wonder how is the procedure in DPS.
I just did the AKL flight with D7, transiting in OOL. Everybody has to go down with their belongings, go through security and board again. I don't see any necessity in the procedure except to make things more difficult for the passengers. Hopefully Indonesia don't have a similar procedure for transit passengers.

I cant imagine being inside a narrow body for more than 3hrs. My last 2 visits to Makkah/Jed was on A380 and 777. The 9-10 hrs I cant sleep even on the MH Business Class flatbed. Did a lot of "tours" inside the aircrafts.
I just endured a KUL-OOL-AKL flight on D7's A330 and will have to endure the reciprocal in a few days. Sitting in one of the middle rows feels like sitting in a cinema or hall. I think the narrower an aircraft is the more like an aircraft it will feel.

Any idea where is the location of the new ATC center?
Anyway runway 14/32 L/R at KLIA is staggered, landing on the R runways or takeoff on the L runways requires pretty long taxys. This is a physical limitation that cannot be solved with any ATC improvement.
-
Too bad Lion, the parent company of Malindo, cancellled the B787. Otherwise it would've been the perfect aircraft for their future long distance destinations.
-
They are not getting seats fast enough.
Seats? Those aircrafts are delivered without seats?
-
Malindo is expected to take delivery of Airbus A330-300 soon to start flights to Jeddah which will commence on Feb 21.
To my knowledge there is no A330 coming to OD in the near term. The JED flight will be operated using the B739, with a stopover in Ahmedabad.

777 will be wet leased from Bayu Air
Really? Haven't heard about Bayu for a long time, never heard of them working for the AOC. As such for anybody to wet-lease anything from them is quite far-fetched. Especially for savvy companies like AirAsia X.
But then again, nothing is impossible.......

I always (and still) believe that there should be no overbooking whatsoever, and any no-show passenger should never be given any refund except for some very exceptional circumstances.

Confirmed.
Philippine Airlines confirms Malaysia resumption from early-June 2017
Posted: 25 Jan 2017 08:00 PM PST
Philippine Airlines this week opened reservation for the planned service resumption to Malaysia, previously reported by Airlineroute. The airline’s Manila – Kuala Lumpur service will now begin on 08JUN17, instead of previously proposed 25JUN17.
This route is operated by Airbus A321 aircraft.
PR525 MNL0725 – 1100KUL 321 x246
PR527 MNL1130 – 1500KUL 321 246
PR526 KUL1210 – 1550MNL 321 x246
PR528 KUL1600 – 1930MNL 321 246 -
All this really make sense.
1. Increase charges to passengers.
2. Appoint a contractor to operate a bus service between the terminals.
3. Contractor make tons of money operating the service.
Mashuk.....

No-one likes getting bumped, especially during CNY.
Can't help but wonder how MH could have handled this differently, especially since they knew the probability of having no-shows during the CNY rush would likely be lower.
Humans will know that during festive seasons no-shows will be minimal. But don't expect robots and machines to understand that.
-
Runway 32R is good for morning departures.
All Nippon 787
KLM 787
-
Hope they can get their ASL from Mavcom and AOC from DCA before they can start operating.
-
I think the Air Force / military use it too for their exercises.
Personally I don't think Kota Kinabalu is ready for a new airport with dual runways. They probably need a new terminal and facilities. But politicians with vested interest surely will think differently.

Himalaya Airlines will be the latest airline to fly into Kuala Lumpur.
The first plane of the Nepal-China joint venture will arrive at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Feb 10. There will be direct flights from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Kuala Lumber five days a week.

Someday someone will claim to be able to make a bomb that looks like clothes.
And clothes will be banned from aircraft.
