  3. such a route might be the reason why its previous flights were all 1 hour behind scheduled arrival
  4. Airlines (including Malaysia Airlines) are now taking precaution and avoiding the Caspian Sea after Russia begun cruise missile strikes on Syria
  5. http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/07/design/airline-future-uber-airbnb/ According to CNN, who are calling it ‘the Uber for airlines’, start-up Poppi is imagining a future of aviation unlike any future we’ve ever seen. One where customers can fly “cinema class” and that dreaded middle seat comes with unexpected perks. Per CNN, the business hopes to bring the same type of disruption to the airline industry that Uber brought to the taxi business, and Airbnb to hotels. “What we wanted to do with Poppi is envision those disruptions now so that airlines operating today can start implementing them,” Poppi’s principal brand strategist Devin Liddell told CNN. “The airline business model and how airlines operate both present a lot of opportunities for reinvention.”

  9. It was stated under Boeing operators Malaysia Airlines Aircraft: 737-800 777-200ER both models had the swosh livery
  10. The 777 never got the new livery found it with new livery on the boieng website
  11. A Dragonair Airbus A330-300, registration B-HLK performing flight KA-691 from Hong Kong (China) to Penang (Malaysia), landed hard on Penang's runway 04 at about 18:45L (10:45Z), rolled out and taxied to the apron. There were no injuries, the aircraft received substantial damage however. The aircraft was unable to perform the return flight KA-692 the following morning and is still on the ground in Penang about 106 hours after landing. A ground observer reported the aircraft touched down with all gear simultaneously, perhaps nose gear first. The Aviation Herald received information confirming a bounced landing followed by a second very hard touch down nose gear first at 2.8G causing substantial damage to the aircraft. http://avherald.com/h?article=48c9f93e&opt=0
  12. The one reason the giant clock tower is built is to accommodate more wealthy pilgrims?... http://www.swissotel.com/hotels/makkah/
  13. does not make sense to get rid of the 777 that fast you get rid of them then you have no planes to do long haul except for the A380!!! A330 can't go to Europe I believe its a reporting error
  14. MAB pilots told This Week in Asia-Pacific Aviation in July that the carrier’s 13 remaining B777-200ERs would be scrapped or sold by early next year. what happened to the new seats on the 777
  15. If they are going to upgrade the 777 biz class, I assume the old economy seats has to go as well? However news report only says Biz Malaysia Airlines will upgrade business class on its Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 jets with an all-new design as part of a wide-ranging overhaul of the troubled airline. Fully lie-flat seats will replace the current angled flat beds and "sloping sleepers" on all international jets, promises newly-minted CEO Chris Mueller, who faces the hard task of turning MAS around. The new Malaysia Airlines business class seats will be "a world-class leading lie-flat seat", says Mueller, with "very large dimensions, and be positioned above the industry standard for business class." While MAS will retain its Airbus A380 service between Kuala Lumpur and London, Mueller would not be drawn on the fate of other routes, although he expected to reveal the scope of its revised network by the end of this month. "We will reduce the frequency [of flights] on some routes and in some cases cases abandon the route altogether." Mueller also tells Australian Business Traveller that some of the airline's Golden Lounge airport lounges around the world will close, but thoser which remain open – including its flagship lounges at Kuala Lumpur, plus London Heathrow and Melbourne – will receive a much-needed upgrade. http://www.ausbt.com.au/malaysia-airlines-all-new-business-class-for-a330s-boeing-777s
  16. According to what was posted, that means Sept 1 will be the day to kick start the major changes? Brand revealed, maybe the proposed new designs then over the few months a transformation will take place and hopefully by January 2016 we have something new.
  17. please get a better terminal before thinking of a second runway which ends up half used.
  18. some are saying its not a window of a door but a sewing machine cover
