I guess it will take quite a while to clear all the accumulated congestion - have to wait till the rain stop before they can even start repairing the damaged runway at least (it's still pouring out there as I click away .....) 🙂

8 minutes ago, jahur said:Yes pothole reported by atc.
Yeah, saw a couple of people sweeping up that part of the runway nearby the right angle turn at Jln Selangor
Felt sorry for people in 9M-MSB having been waiting (at least 20 minutes or so) at end of runway 30 only to have to backtrack along runway to return to terminal, together with 9M-RAR close behind
Tough to understand logic why 9M-AQB was pushed back and made her way towards runway 30, even as 9M-MSB and 9M-RAR were already on their way back to terminal. Yes, she too had to make her way back after a while 😄
-
9M-AJY still circling up there, but it would seem 9M-MLS had had enough and making her way to MYY (?) to wait it out
-
Looks like 9M-MXL and 9M-MSA already resting at LBU

Looks like BKI runway not going be of much use this afternoon. Just saw 2 A320s, a B738 and a B733 return to terminal after spending time waiting at end of runway (Tg Aru end) 😀

Possibly from next week (SQ106/105, SQ126/125) 😀

I hope all are armed and ready for the SQ Dugongs upcoming visits 😀

Wild shot in the dark - this is some corporate manoeuvre to get those creditors to agree to the proposed drastic haircuts, or someone just clicked the end game button 😁

QuoteDepending on configuration, typically, each B737 MAX has between162 and 170 seats, with a capacity of 162 seats, requires about 100 employees to operate the aircraft from the pilot, cabin crew, ground handler, engineer and technician.
The mind boggles as to then why Malindo in Malaysia need 'up to' 1,500 staff for the 10 birds incoming ?! 😁

So refreshing to see MH responding to demand as and when necessary nowadays 🙂
Who would have thought this possible pre-Covid ?
Probably would have expected the more nimble and responsive Air Asia to have done the necessary instead .....

Considering how AAx restructuring will likely be shoved up manufacturer A's nether region, it's really not too difficult to imagine them being 'joined at hip' 😆

MH's order has been cancelled, no ?

At that burn rate, the 300m 'loan' from Sabah will keep the fire going for 2.5 weeks only 😉

For BKI hub dream it has been repeated, recooked, rehashed every so often over such a long time, it should really be reclassified as a coma already 😁

or
KAKE logo will adopt that of Asiana .....Cathay Dragon / Dragonair logo and branding gonna go way of the dodo too 😆

QuoteThe purpose of the loan is to fund specific development projects as agreed by both parties as listed below:
- RM170 million to establish and operate OURFARM digital food supply chain and cold chain facilities in Sabah;
- RM110 million to part-finance the project to turn Kota Kinabalu International Airport into an international hub for AirAsia Berhad's operations;
- RM10 million to enhance e-commerce platforms and marketability of Sabah products; and
- RM10 million to further promote Sabah tourism destinations on airasia.com, the digital super app of AirAsia.
Let us be realistic and practical about it - any of that money spent on those very specific purposes for the time being will be exercises in futility
Better to dump the money in now to help keep AK group alive in hope they can pull through this crisis, in time eventually, and only then talk about all those fanciful projects 🙂
Like what reasonable degree of success can one possibly envisage in turning KKIA into an "international hub" and "promote Sabah tourism destinations" when borders are closed off everywhere ?! 😄

Korean Air to take over Asiana Airlines for $1.6b
https://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news/161713/korean-air-to-take-over-asiana-airlines-for-1-6b/
Another brand goes the way of the dodo ..... 😪

Thanks Flee

I'm wondering what is happening to those (previously) ever so precious LHR slots nowadays - would BAA be within their right to reallocate to other carriers if there are takers ? And if eventually MH (or any other Malaysian entity) decide to restore a more normal schedule to the UK, the slots have to be reapplied / renegotiated for ?

Cover Story: Creditors to decide fate of MAS, AirAsia X
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/cover-story-creditors-decide-fate-mas-airasia-x
QuoteAAX, meanwhile, is asking its unsecured creditors to write down their dues totalling RM63.49 billion by a whopping 99.7% to RM200 million, without offering them any equity in the airline.
Wonder why they still call it "debt restructuring" - isn't that closer to a debt write off instead ? 😁

Seem Khazanah may not be financially in position to side with the devil though

AAX’s capacity plunges 100pc to 6,032 in Q2
from: http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news/156868/aax-s-capacity-plunges-100pc-to-6-032-in-q2/
Total 2,291 pax in Q2 2020 (undefined how many are fare paying)
Averaging slightly above 25 pax per day
I'm guessing those numbers are statistically irrelevant given the current environment
We are near halfway through Q3 2020 already, wonder how the figures are adding up ?!

17 minutes ago, flee said:Tony Fernandes says he remains optimistic AirAsia will pull through Covid-19 aviation crisis and recover by next year
Everyone is so focused on the virus destroying demand for travel nowadays, I guess that has, for now at least, overshadowed the potentially even greater threat of an all out China-US trade war, or heaven forbid, China-US armed conflict
It could be that of winning a battle now, but then having to face an even bigger one in an ongoing war
My apologies for the damp sentiments 😀
