It better be Vantage XL otherwise MAB would be on the bottom end yet again for the A330 we can give them some slack but not on the A350 which will be the "flagship"

The Growing Divide In Premium And Low Cost Brands, And Those Stuck In The Middle. https://thedesignair.net/2016/09/23/the-growing-divide-in-premium-and-low-cost-brands-and-those-stuck-in-the-middle/ is Malaysia Airlines stuck in the middle?

Philippine Airlines plan to create a 5-star airline have taken a huge leap forward this week, with the announcement that they will convert the cabin lay-out of eight economy-only A330-300s to include brand new Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy class cabins. PAL is one of a few Asian carriers who have been stuck in the middle of an airline war waged by low cost carriers and the very top 5-star international carriers. Airlines like Philippine Airlines and Vietnam Airlines, who have historically been stuck in the middle with ageing legacy carrier products have had to either embrace low-cost product or step up to compete with the likes of Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. The announcement includes 18 new Thompson Vantage XL seats in business class, 24 brand new Zodiac 5810 premium economy seats were also selected featuring an industry standard legroom of 38 inches, width of 19 inches and a recline of 8 inches, while the Economy Zodiac brand was chosen for the 267 economy seats with a legroom of 32 inches, width of 17 inches and recline of 6 inches. This is a massive drop in seats from the original 414 passenger configuration. https://thedesignair.net/2017/01/29/philippine-airlines-to-invest-in-new-cabin-products/

I do hope in the future PEN would at least get 787 flights

I believe Penang would also need to be expanded in the future. These 2 airports are very similar in annual passenger numbers

Maybe the lady could have explained it better. Sometimes a short answer just ends up getting twisted by us

That’s why we have features in our Economy seats that other airlines reserve for Premium Economy. Let me guess? A 2 4 2 seating for economy?

lots of birds = bird strike the jungle is attracting many birds to make nests, so for the sake of passenger safety, we need to remove the forest to prevent nesting of birds. In the interests of improving the airport experience, we will be converting the rain-forest into an open air pasar malam and hawker center. Tourists arriving can get a first taste of Malaysian outdoor culture.

I think it is pruning Guessing they have not done any timing since it was opened years ago? So they are doing it now to prevent overcrowding

Could it be tree pruning?

The last thing that made KLIA satellite terminal has died if they want money to maintain the thing,they could charge people for entering the mini jungle.

Is the A330-900 similar in passenger numbers to the 787-8 or -9? And that the A350 is generally bigger than the 787

Interior would need to be changed if they want to maintain the same standard

Yeah I have completely forgotten about the re-branding and plans for new uniforms It is not scrapped isn't it? since there has been 0 news and updates about it. Maybe they really want to surprise us

from http://www.ausbt.com.au/vantage-first-qantas-a330-boeing-787-business-class-seat-gets-first-class-upgrade SAS Vantage XL business class A simple mini bar perhaps How would the Vantage XL compare to the angled seating on Qatar, Cathay Pacific

I think it would be more suitable that The Vantage XL be the business class with a proper first class (similar to the current one in the A380)

We permium pax of KLIA do not want budget Air Asia to pollute the space.

this just in KOTA BHARU 2 Nov. - Para penumpang syarikat penerbangan AirAsia berdepan detik cemas apabila tayar depan serta belakang kiri pesawat yang dinaiki terbenam di dalam tanah bahu landasan Lapangan Terbang Sultan Ismail Petra (LTSIP) Pengkalan Chepa di sini malam tadi. Kejadian berlaku ketika pesawat AK6443 membuat pusingan u di hujung landasan sebelum berlepas kira-kira pukul 10.25 malam. Pesawat tersebut dalam persediaan berlepas menuju ke Klia2. Ekoran daripada kejadian itu penerbangan terpaksa ditangguhkan dan kini kerja-kerja mengeluarkan tayar tersebut sedang giat dilakukan oleh petugas lapangan terbang. Seorang penumpang, Ghani Mohamad,62, berkata, dia dikejutkan dengan gegaran cukup kuat ketika pesawat berkenaan sedang membuat pusingan di landasan tersebut untuk berlepas ke Kuala Lumpur. Katanya, pada masa itu, pesawat berkenaan dilihat berusaha untuk mengeluarkan tayar daripada dalam tanah tersebut namun gagal. "Ketika itu bunyi sangat bising. Kami tidak tahu apa yang berlaku pada awalnya sehingga dimaklumkan mengenai kejadian oleh petugas pesawat berkenaan setengah jam kemudian. "Kami kemudian di bawa keluar dari landasan untuk menunggu di terminal. Melihat pada keadaan itu, kerja-kerja mengeluarkan tayar itu memerlukan masa yang lama," katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini. - UTUSAN ONLINE
