The transaction is pursuant to the option provided under the existing lease agreement for four A350-900s signed by both parties in September last year, it said in a statement today. “The additional two Airbus A350-900s will complement the existing four that is on order to reach a critical fleet size, allowing standby aircraft for any scheduled maintenance and enabling future network expansion,” said MAB chief executive officer Christoph Mueller. Powered by two Rolls Royce Trent XWB-84 engines, the A350 aircraft are from ALC’s order book with Airbus. “Technological and innovative advancements make flying this aircraft a real pleasure and it will bring a whole new experience to our offerings, with the aircraft able to operate non-stop from Kuala Lumpur to London and throughout Asia.”

Tourism Malaysia chief loses cool over AirAsia bunting at Beijing expo KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 ― Wee Choo Keong allegedly lashed out at his staff yesterday during the 4th China (Beijing) International Tourism Expo 2016 after seeing that an AirAsia bunting was put up alongside other promotional materials at Tourism Malaysia’s booth. A source familiar with the matter claimed that Wee, who is Tourism Malaysia chairman, publicly berated the staff responsible and ordered the bunting removed. After it was placed backstage, however, the former federal lawmaker allegedly broke the bunting before telling his staff to remove all items associated with AirAsia. Malay Mail Online understands that the low-cost airline was invited to attend the exhibition and Wee was there for the opening ceremony. “We confirm the incident that took place at the 4th China International Tourism Expo 2016 in Beijing (on Friday) and we are very disappointed with what happened,” a spokesperson from AirAsia told Malay Mail Online when contacted. Malay Mail Online has made attempts to contact Wee over the matter and is currently awaiting his response. Wee has in the past openly attacked AirAsia over its alleged airport tax debt of more than RM50 million. The former PKR man has taken his grouses to Twitter and to his blog, accusing Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and the Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) of failing to hold the airline responsible to its obligations. In July last year, AirAsia Berhad filed a defamation suit against Wee over his blog post on the issue, also accusing him of regularly publishing many false and disparaging statement in its blog www.weechookeong.com. - See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/tourism-malaysia-chief-loses-cool-over-airasia-bunting-at-beijing-expo#sthash.mtxdR9iy.dpuf

I hope MAB at least considers a real premium economy

both sides of the political divide spewing out useless nonsense

I think its more on finding out why such a failure occurred in the first place.

I wonder what is Emirates thinking when they decided to go for a 2-3-2 biz class for their new seats...? MAS this is your chance to have a better biz class... or maybe the perks of Emirates's seats is that it has extra things such as a mini fridge...

I will personally go with shades of blue, purple and maroon

isn't aircraft windshield able to withstand a frozen bird shot at it at 100 km/h? I remember watching a documentary and it mentioned how strong it has to be. can a person really smash it with a hammer

Hints of future rebranding?

I say CM was forced to make the decision at gunpoint from someone higher up to stash something heavy and valuable <conspiracy theory >

Security is very tight in KL esp KLCC Saw some army personel today even armoured vehicles

They realised the error and reuploaded the video!

Now will the A380 get a upgrade? And we still dont know about Super Economy

It looks clean could have mroe detailing. Maybe a bigger swoosh ?

CX's heringbone A330-300 style biz class perhaps?

oh. I can see it making sense now. All long haul will be 380 and 333. Longest Asian flight is to Japan which is also 333. Hence no need for the 777? I have forgotten that PEK gets the 333 now Once CDG and AMS goes, the only route the A330 300 can't reach is LHR That means no more old 777 seats

why is it half mast or was that picture from mh370/17

dont forget rebranding is not small and there will be lots of old branding remaining for at least a few months.

malaysianWings MalaysianWings International

boycott Malaysia

MH website is mostly blue

:search:my goodness why is it so leaky? Got more info? Or revealing more get some on fired

Time to let go? Focus on new 777F models?

MAS got its first 777 in 1995? And last one in 2002?
