If there is a will, time and money to make klia t1 more users friendly and operation efficient, there is a way. Mahb could complete satellite terminal 2 before renovate satellite terminal 1. Mahb could assign 2 aerotrain coach for departure and arrival pax respectfully like kix, PVG. At MTB aerotrain station, mahb could use existing restaurants on both sides of platform for ramp to arrival floor.

KUL T1 was designed and built more for aesthetic rather than operation efficiency.

Mh top management and the board lack confidence and competency to plan beyond 5 years horizon.

It seems mahb still couldn't understand ergonomic. Security check at boarding gate remains inefficient.

Maximizing aircraft utilisation is often unrealistic. PK was once known for its maximize utilisation and see it's current state. For reasons, qr, ek, sq, ey, ba, lh, etc don't aim for maximizing utilisation. Pen-up demand of 2022 is unlikely to persist. Was at golden lounge at kul satellite recently, buffet spread is comparable to local 3 star hotel.

Most projects in this country is for those walk in the corridor of power to make $$$. ECRL is single track, there is no cost or time saving to load/unload cargo in kuantan port instead of port klang. Gomen has been given various incentive to set up factory in the east coast in the last few decades.

According to the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963, MAS should be prosecuted for they way national flag is displayed. https://www.malaysia.gov.my/portal/content/138

If petronas is sanctioned by the u.s, most if not all international bank and mnc will not conduct business with it.

For domestic sector, there shouldn't need regulatory approval. the more regulatory, the more corruption and the higher cost.

No wonder LH 350 was at satellite remote bay at about 20:20hr just now.

This route is mainly cater for Korean escaping freezing winter.

Mavcom was created for ex-politicians and cronies to draw fat salaries.

Like many businesses, airlines benefit from economies of scale and the 'real money' is not in operating profit but stock market.

Aerotrain is a scaled down lrt or mrt train set. Technology and suppliers are well established. Noise in airside is almost irrelevant to environment.

Due to low disposable income, most people in this country choose price over quality except luxury or show off items.

Shuttle bus between MTB and satellite terminal leave in pairs. It seems the first bus is reserved for airport staffs and often half full while the second bus is packed with pax.

Given the background of controlling shareholders; their business model is unusual, don't have resources to raise funds from institutions and conventionally.

Many under estimated hurdle, magnitude and duration of negative cashflow before the operation cashflow is positive. Fundraising is very limited in this industry and in this country. Controlling shareholders need ocean deep pocket to sustain.

Likewise, mas was losing about rm 800m per year for decades and was supported by sugar daddy.

Visited mh lounge at kul recently, foods offering is significantly better than before.

Board appointed consultant is awared of the management incompetency; whether action will be taken against these few or the top management will rectify e.g transfer is different matter.

According to rumour mill; the board appointed third party to investigate the management, reached out to lower management level, etc.

MH business model until recently was defying gravity and conventional business practice. From recent brahim fiasco, there are still many incompetent management at the top.

Mas is hopeful to restore hot meals service to all routes by November. It seems the board is interfering in operation.

Most visitors to plaza premium lounge at kul are credit card holders travelling in ey, have low expectations. A reason why they have plaza premium first for airlines.
