Too far away

aiyaaaSomeday someone will claim to be able to make a bomb that looks like clothes.
And clothes will be banned from aircraft.
Flying naked aaaaa
-
Waaaah so heavy rain one -
no available FO. So they phoned captain as wellWhy on the right side?
-
On today's BNE inaugural, they were phoning everyone to sit on the right hand side. The trip itself is not that interesting for tech crews. Fly to BNE, with tech stop in DPS, and fly back to KUL 24 hours later.
-
I believe it is not because of no pax flying to those cancelled routes. From what I have observed, OD is having pilot shortage issues. Ambitious but no staff to fly their planes.
-
no available gate at mtbAnd I heard some OD flights to ASEAN main cities like Bangkok, Jakarta the passengers will have to use stairs instead of aerobridge to board the aircraft at KLIA MTB remote bay.
-
not only that, priority tags on luggage were mistreated. Always last on carouselthey should have terminated the service of the baggage handlers long time ago, now we know why it took years for our bags to arrive at the carousel
-
I've tried OD from PER to KUL. Not bad at allI cant imagine being inside a narrow body for more than 3hrs. My last 2 visits to Makkah/Jed was on A380 and 777. The 9-10 hrs I cant sleep even on the MH Business Class flatbed. Did a lot of "tours" inside the aircrafts.

Ahaaaa.... Renovate again?In PEN now. MH is using plaza premium here now. Apparently this is temporary whilst they renovate their PEN golden lounge.

they did fly to LGWD7 has never flown to Gatwick, has it? I suppose you mean Stansted.

there is a looooooong terms and conditions list together with the booked ticket, and normally most of us didn't bother to read. I pity the family for not being able to fly on their desired flight but the best way to solve this issue is to make a complain via mavcom (which I believe most of the rakyat didn't know of its existence). MAB did the right thing according to Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code 2016 http://www.mavcom.my/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/pub_20160630_P.U.-B-305.pdf by transfering them to the next available flight but they seriously lacked in customer service's skills (according to the story lah). Just my 2 cents
https://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access/-/loungeaccess/HKG hope this helpsJust a question, which business class lounge MAS uses in Hong Kong?
-
kentucky fried chicken... Or mcdonalds heheheWhere does Business Class passengers go to? Kuching soon too?
-
Penang Golden Lounge will be closed effective 1st Feb 2017
-
I thought we already have 359 on the shelf788 could allow MH to provide daily service on thin and long route profitably. 789 has common rating with 788, allow certain yield management.
-
reason? Because others have it so we must have it too?MH should place some order for this beauty....or at least lease
-
Old Limbang Airport too....A bit OT: Lots of dragstrips in the world are originally runways that are no longer used. Tawau and Bintulu should have nice dragstrips by now; KL should follow soon with a dragstrip in Sungai Besi.
-
around 14 years ago, KL808 KL809Let's see how long hey last in KUL.
By the way, does anyone recall that KLM used to operate AMS-KUL-MNL before they switched it to CGK?

Malaysia Airlines To Order 25 Widebodies In 2017

Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) has returned to expansion mode and plans to order 25 widebody aircraft by the end of the year, according to chief executive Peter Bellew.
Fifteen of the new batch of airplanes would replace the existing fleet of 15 leased Airbus A330-300s, while the other 10 aircraft would allow for expansion. Bellew told AIN in an interview that the order competition pits either the Airbus A330neo or A330-300 against the Boeing 787. Delivery would start in the third quarter of 2018 and run through 2023, during about the same time as the existing A330-300s' leases expire.
The carrier wants to configure the aircraft in a two-class, business and economy layout as opposed to a three-class arrangement including premium economy, a seating class that has proved unpopular in the Malaysian market. It plans to use the 10 growth aircraft for route upgrades to Indian cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore, all on which the airline downsized equipment from the 777-200ER to the 737-800 following its disposal of the Boeing widebodies. Bellew said the 10 aircraft will also allow for the option of resuming some canceled European routes.
Market conditions have to be right before we start flying to Europe again; I do not see this happening before the 2019-2021 time frame, Bellew noted.
London, which remains the only European destination on MABs network, gets twice-daily service with Airbus A380s. Malaysia plans to replace the superjumbos with Airbus A350-900s starting in April 2018. MAB has leased six A350-900s from Air Lease Corp., of the U.S. under a 12-year agreement.
The airline plans to reconfigure its six A380s to seat 700 and use them for flights to Mecca in Saudi Arabia for Muslim pilgrims and possibly lease them out for charters. The operation will involve another company established and owned by MAB. Bellew said he is now talking with Airbus about reconfiguring the aircraft, including the upper deck, to seat 700 passengers.
Bellow also said he hopes MABs plan to lease four more A330-300s to fill short-term capacity needs will materialize soon.
Malaysia plans to launch flights to seven destinations in China this year, starting with Nanjing, Fuzhou and Shenzhen in April followed by Wuhan in August and Chengdu and Chongqing in October. It expects to announce flights to Tianjin within the next few months. Plans for April also call for the introduction of a new route, namely Penang-Shanghai, and a doubling of service on the daily Kuala Lumpur-Shanghai service. MABs other China destinations now encompass Beijing, Guangzhou, Haikou and Xiamnen.
Bellew expressed confidence that MAB will return to profitability in 2018 despite stiff competition from compatriots Malindo Air and AirAsia on domestic and regional flights. For MAB, passenger loads have improved significantly after a pair of high-profile crashes in 2014 forced the airline into bankruptcy.
Regaining market confidence is a boost and with flights recording 90 percent-plus [load factors] are indications of better times to come, Bellew concluded.
25 widebodies... Hope they will be able to sustain especially in the saturated market like Malaysia.

flew on mh3, full to the brim... Upper deck became suffer deck. But they need to clean the plane (seat pockets, chair table, and side bin) as the plane looked so dirty.From what I heard, the load is very good even on MH4.

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/01/11/report-mumbai-airport-on-high-alert-after-bomb-scare-affects-three-kl-bound-flights/ yikes... But why KUL flights? - Security agencies zoomed in on all three Kuala Lumpur-bound flights - the 11.15pm Malindo Air flight OD-216 with 140 passengers on board; the 11.25pm Malaysia Airlines flight MH-195 with 158 passengers, and the 2am MH-187 flight with 145 passengers.
"The passengers who had boarded the aircraft were informed about the bomb call and asked to deplane to undergo a security check again," the Times of India quoted a police official as saying.
"Not a single passenger complained or created a fuss. Instead, they came forward and asked us to frisk them all; they didn't want any untoward incident mid-air," said the official.
The security search began at around 10pm on Monday and went on till 6.23am on Tuesday when the last of the three flights departed.
The Malindo Air flight arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 11.20am on Tuesday while MH195 arrived at 11.35am and MH187 at 1.56pm.
"During the nine hour search, handbags, check-in bags, cargo compartments, passenger cabins, food galleys, liquor bottles on board - everything was inspected. We then concluded that it was a hoax call," a source told the paper.-

Firefly has reduced their frequencies drastically - I just noticed it as I am making bookings for flights to Singapore and also Kota Bharu. For Singapore sector, there are now 7 flights a day - I remembered there were at least 10 flights a couple of years ago when i used to make day trips there. KBR sector, Firefly has 8 flights a day compared to Malindo's 13.
Interestingly, I noticed that purchasing Firefly's flights to Singapore is cheaper on MAB's website on the codeshared flights. Any reason for this?
Are things not looking too good in Firefly?
Before Malindo came in, things were just fine for Firefly. Just like Malaysia Airlines, prior to AirAsia debut into Malaysian Aviation business
