View of the cabin. Seems like the same new AirAsia seat but red and white. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRKHqgJx/

Yes, they are gaining attention from social media platform especially TikTok. What's great about their marketing team is the frequent updates they did regarding their progress. But also this set a high expectation for them as they are competing with AirAsia and the future customers are hoping MYAirline will give a better service than AirAsia.

Maybe that's why they went with the grey tail for the first livery to distinct themselves with AirAsia planes ?, but since the body itself is mostly red make it hard to differentiate themselves from AirAsia planes which than they may decide to grey the body instead.

Is this their 2nd livery? So the airline will have 2 liveries with same pattern only switching the red and gray colour.

Can anyone confirm regarding SKS Airways as in Flightradar24, there are coupe of new routes that were loaded. All operated by ATR 72.
