  1. There is a similarity between MAS and QANTAS, both lost money, both blamed the other home based competitor and both have AJ as their CEOs, Allan Jones and Ahmad Jauhari respectively
  2. The HAV304 took the crown of world's longest aircraft with its inaugural flight today. The gargantuan spans a football field and towers just over two stories in height, owing its construction to pure metal. It sacrifices little in being the world's longest, as it still reaches 100 mph, which is triple that of the dwarfish Goodyear blimp. Further, it can stay airborne for just over three weeks (and hypothetically, if it could maintain its maximum speed for all that time, it would travel over 50,000 miles.) All in all, the HAV304 offers nothing short of the glory one would expect from a gargantuan blimp-hybrid-aircraft that is partially funded by the lead singer of Iron Maiden. So run to the hills, tundra, or any extreme environment, as this runway-free goliath will soon be delivering supplies to you.
  3. You cannot rely on FR24. The number of sectors done per aircraft per day depends on sectors length. You need to average them out within certain times before that aircraft goes for checks. In fact, MAS B738s are doing quite well in terms of hours flown per day, it's almost 11 hrs per day and will be increased further soon. MAS has been wet leasing one A330 to TK since last year and expected to renew the contract till next year.
  4. Some one did ask about the registration of ex Air Atlanta/Saudia B747 parked at KLIA but I am not sure the title of the forum. Anyway, they are TF-ARM and TF-ARN
  5. To my understanding is that B744 would be utilized for CDG if required. But you never know!
  6. Yes, 5 A380s are sufficient for LHR and CDG ops but MAS needs a backup since A380s have been having some teething problems.
  7. The wing rib repair will last till Feb 2015 Too expensive to maintain 2 B744s B777 can carry only 283 pax, whereas, B744 can carry 359 pax. The diff is too much
  8. It is true, it will be 9MMPP. It should be flyable after maintenance in about 6-7 weeks time
  9. The followings were pax load on MH4 for last 1 week. So I just wonder where Dr Frazier got his figure from. Even on 12 Feb it was 157 pax 7 Feb - 247 8 Feb - 368 9 Feb - 401 10 Feb - 346 11 Feb - 249 12 Feb - 157 Today 13 Feb - 308
  10. MAS will make official announcement on the retirement of all B734s. Last B734 will be taken off in September

  12. I can't recall MAS operated to LAX via HNL but MAS did operate KUL-NRT-LAX-HNL-NRT-KUL for a few seasons when MAS fell short of aircraft and drafted in DC10-30. The aircraft operating as MH92/93 and only made a technical stop at HNL
  13. Cabin crew members are graded staff, so their entitlement is EY only.
  14. I think the first B747-400s MHL, MHM, MHN and MHO were full pax aircrafts, and yes they were powered by GE CF6
  15. In the old days, yes, but not anymore. Only Commanders and their families are entitled to FC tickets once a year. Other categories of staff including Managers are entitled to EY only except for duty travels. But for Managers and Executives, they can opt for rebated BCC tickets. Commanders are equivalent to Managers but First Officers are equivalent to Execuitves.
  16. Not cancelled but delayed by 24 hrs
  17. Why blamed TR alone, who was his boss then? Where did the money actually go to, DZ?
  18. South Africa is not in the Northern Summer 2014 pattern, perhaps, later. Also KUL- NRT-LAX vv will continue till further notice, no change in 2014 up to Oct
  19. Then it would be a second incident within two weeks. The first reported incident was also MAS B738 from PEN.
  20. NOTAMS for WMKI A2839/13 - SFC DEPRESSION ON RWY. RMK: ACFT TYPE ATR72-500 AND BELOW ONLY ARE ALLOWED TO LAND AND TAKE-OFF. 29 NOV 05:00 2013 UNTIL 31 DEC 23:59 2013 ESTIMATED. CREATED: 27 NOV 06:14 2013
  21. French government confers Tony Fernandes with country’s top award – Bernama NOVEMBER 27, 2013 The French government has conferred AirAsia Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (pic, left) with the Commander of the Legion d' Honneur award for his outstanding contribution towards France's aviation industry. The Legion d' Honneur award, established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, recognises outstanding service of individuals to France, and the Commander of the Legion d' Honneur is the highest rank of honour that the French government can award to a non-French citizen. "It is truly an honour to be conferred the Commander of the Legion d' Honneur and I am humbled with the recognition given by the government of France. "As the Group Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia, I am proud that we have positively contributed both directly and indirectly towards many peoples' lives," he said in a statement, adding that it was a great motivation for him to continue steering the group to greater heights. – Bernama, November 27, 2013.
  22. The scare comes just days after Etihad placed an order for 87 Airbus planes valued at around $19 billion at list prices, including A330s. What has the above gotten to do with Mayday call?
