CH Teo

Ahaha...usual Uncle Tony styles, same counteract action during FY short lived jets period...expects Malindo next 4 destinations on zero fares also from AK when OD open the tickets for sale...hehe... Oh yea, true enough...unless they rock on to bring back 15kg baggages to RM 5 during few years back and cancel the credit card fees!

Any members here from KUL, KCH or BKI is going to join them during the initial stages soon and planning for a flight logbook?? Looking forward for the sneak peak and their entrance to MYY soon...

Are they talking about RM 98 all in one way fares holders enjoy 20kg free baggages? I thought I read otherwise on the website where it say only full fare holders can have that...discounted one would be only mere 10kg...

Anyone tried the flight thus far??

KCH I believe, many players; BKI only two if I am right...surely they can make a return...but I think their peers like KCH more, looks like sustainable...hehe...

Come to East Malaysia? I remembered they were here sometimes back for a short while to both state capital from SIN...

Is this LNB interior? In BSI? Wow...just hope the seat would be ok also...

Better get AOC fast, and let Malaysia to have B739 ER as well...

Wanders when can someone take a snap peak of the interior! Good to finally see a Malaysian registered "Hybrid Lion", hopefully they are on the mark to annouce first batch of routing soon...

Good, thanks for the English version...

Abviously they are having shortage of aircraft after venturing into BIMP-EAGA...let's see what Capt Datul Mohd Nawawi can do...

Today Chinese Daily says BKI will be the first to enjoy Malindo Airways services starting from next month...flight in the pipeline are BKI-KUL-BKI & BKI-JHB-BKI... And there will be Economy and Business Class for the B739ER... It is just one month plus before March end, but still no sign of announcing fares and etc...hmmm...time will tell... More here for members who are Chinese literated (Sorry to say no sign of equivalent news is English or Malay): http://www.uniteddaily.com.my/?q=node/17300

I think so...click that pop up and that's all...

I would rather say HKG from KUL might goes to D7 if CX and MH dugong controls the maket share over AK narrowbody, as I remembered Uncle Tony also mentioned before 3 hours below are more ideal for AK for now...

Got it already... Finally the system will auto give a pop up page when you log in...hehe...

Any one knows how to register for that Double Miles campaign? It's for new members only or open for all? Tried to login, but been redirected to the "outside" common page of the promo banners...

Option for 50 A321s??

Wow, already bookable...looks like they are taking advantages before Malindo starts...Hopefully more flights to KUL for MYY...

From the article as below, it seems the PM Najib wants it to be end of June... SEPANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today announced that the new low-cost airport, dubbed KLIA2, will be launched on June 28 this year, co-inciding with the launch date of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in 1998. The premier said the airport was scheduled to be ready by May this year, but the operations would not be rushed as there were some teething issues to be solved before its opening. "We should go through some of the teething problems with the new terminal and once it is ready, then KLIA2 will be fully operational. "As a target, I have decided that it should co-incide with the date of the opening of KLIA. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to open KLIA2 on June 28," he said. Najib said this at the launching of a specially designed 1Malaysia AirAsia aircraft livery to commemorate the start of 1Malaysia Integration Programme with AirAsia at the LCCT (Low-Cost Carrier Terminal) here today. Also present were Minister of Youth and Sports, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, AirAsia's Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Managing Director of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad. Bashir said MAHB welcomed the prime minister's decision not to rush the opening of the KLIA2 and to coincide it with the opening date of KLIA. He said all issues pertaining to the new airport were expected to be settled before the opening date to avoid even any minor glitches during operations. "We do not want to rush. I think the prime minister has the same thought in mind. We have seen many airports worldwide fail because they were rushed into operations. "It is something exciting also if the date coincides (KLIA & KLIA2), as it will be a double celebration for us at MAHB," Bashir said. The RM3.6 billion KLIA2, built to cater for the explosive growth expected in low-cost travel, is sprawled over 257,000 sq metres and is envisaged to handle a maximum of 45 million passengers a year. The airport will have 60 gates, eight remote stands, 80 aerobridges, plus a retail space covering 32,000 sq metres to accommodate 225 retail outlets. -- BERNAMA Read more: KLIA2 to be opened on June 28 - Latest - New Straits Times http://www.nst.com.my/latest/klia2-to-be-opened-on-june-28-1.196537#ixzz2H5cvJCbe

Only 4 B738? Or more updates soon?

That's still a BIG figure of 737-400 airframe which remains active, I just hope they will be gone for permanent as soon as possible! Is a no brainer for MH to upgrade to 737-800 for all domestic operation stage by stage and then use back 737-400 after March 2013...Think of what the passengers would think for those had sampled the new planes, would they want to fly back those smarties?

Checked MH E-timetable, the flights are already there as displayed above; but not yet in the inventories system yet (not yet opened for booking even for next week flight.).

For MASwings' ATR 72 operation, the question is does LMN and MZV fits an ERJ or a CRJ? That's the only 2 airstrips that come to my mind whether they are capable to handle a jet or not if MASwings are considering "mini-jets"...

Is just a matter of time from their judgement regarding how long can the remaining mighty Otters can fly...is simply too old already... Nice! looks like turborpop services / business is growing strong in Malaysia...merely 5 years plus another orders and larger than the previous one...Will watch for Firefly and MASwings growth...

KUDAT: The Federal Government is still studying carefully MASwings’ application to start flying to new destinations within the BIMP-EAGA, namely from Kota Kinabalu to Balikpapan and from Kuching to Balikpapan in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri said the proposal needed to be studied in detail, including taking into account the preparedness of MASwings and its existing number of aircraft. This is to ensure that MASwings’ commitment to rural air services, which is a contractual service through the Federal Government for the people of Sabah and Sarawak, cannot be compromised as this would raise the ire of the Sabah and Sarawak people, he told Bernama after a gathering at Kampung Tanjung Kapor, near here, yesterday. Nevertheless, Abdul Rahim said the Transport Ministry remained committed to the BIMP-EAGA member countries’ plans to enhance air connectivity in the region. BIMP-EAGA or the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines-East Asia Growth Area is a regional economic integration initiative. Meanwhile, Abdul Rahim said Malaysia is on the right track for continued economic growth as it has attracted commerce that will bring prosperity to the people and country. He said as such, the people should maintain the peace and stability by avoiding disruptive politics. “A country in turmoil will be shunned by visitors and ultimately have implication on the economy and people,” he said after officiating a mass circumcision ceremony at Kampung Tanjong Kapor, near here yesterday. Rahim who is also Member of Parliament for Kudat, urged the people to be involved in tourism activities, including the homestay programme. “Since Kudat has become a popular tourist destination, the people should seize the opportunity by exploiting the natural beauty for economic gain,” he said.-Bernama Read more: http://www.theborneopost.com/2012/12/10/govt-still-looking-at-maswings-proposal/#ixzz2EkEsYszG What you guys think for the highlighted paragraphs? Judging from the recently amended ATR's scedules, I can see that more "combined flights" are being introduced in order to "make way" for the new flights before more planes come in....
