Mr.Bandit

Yes, under 8C maintenance check. Should be serviceable to fly by next week.

The first one coming from ex-SAS aircraft (SE-RSB) while second one remains unknown, most probably come from ex-SAS too. The cabin config though I didn’t get much info on this matter.

1 additional A359 to be register as 9M-MAH is expected to receive by this November 2023 while another one is still under negotiation process with lessor with expectation to deliver by March 2024. Yet, Don’t get suprised that the first A339 destination would be Melbourne.

Not yet but will flying to same destination later, under registration as VP-BYW

One of Indonesia Airasia X A330 PK-XRA is currently at MAB hangar, undergoes maintenance and will be transfer to AAX after check is complete.

The replacement for 777 is already in place. they have ordered 13 A350-1000 with options for 25 more aircraft. Likely 772 will be replaced by 359 and 773 will be replaced by 35K. Early 359 frame configuration is catered for regional/domestic sectors.

Had worse experience than this, 9M-MTZ once bound to Taipei as MH366, supposely to take off on 9:30am but delayed to 3 pm after 3 failed rejected takeoff attempt. Imagine of 5 hours inside aircraft because passengers cant disembark the aircraft.

Yes, but unlikely to get main landing gear change for MTY. A330-300 is quite buzy lately as MH gonna has wifi installation

MTZ undergoes installation of centre overhead bins at business section + other package as well.

Kuala Lumpur is 5th most visited city in the world after Bangkok, Paris, London and Singapore. Market is there but need proper strategy

I hope MAHB can learn some lesson from this incident. Overdue upgrade is one reason plus multi layer management prolong the process. Well, it's just few days after 21 Anniversary.
