how will this effect the airfare?

funny to think that even Air Asia X introduce a 'sub' premium economy class in it fleet. I think it was called sleeper class where the cabin light is dim to cater sleeping passenger. Notice this when i was flying business on D7 last time. Even the business class does not such accommodating cabin light fixture but the seat remain similar to normal economy, just extra leg room

During the Farnborough, Malaysia Airline toyed around the idea of introducing Premium Economy apart of it offering. Question is why did the abandon the idea? Even Garuda Indonesia abandon the idea of Premium Economy in favour of First Class. Why is this the case? Any insight ?

got it picture of it on a remote stand was wondering the same thing

Salam and greeting This is my first post on MalaysianWings so my tone might not met the accordance to the forum which i would like to apologise in advance The booming in air travel has certainly change the way we get from point A to point B. Most people would certainly would like to get most out of this movement. But as previous closure of airliners from around the world and the stagnate profit make by legacy carrier. it seem that aviation business has certain lose it sweetness factor to which i ask, if it still a got idea to open up a new airline? I am obviously referring to Rayani Air and FlyMojo, two airlines that will soon join Malaysian aviation scene. For me personally, air travel in Malaysia still have a long way to go before air travel will be common among Malaysian. I blame this movement due to our weak currency , our county size & expensive airport infrastructure (parking, transportation) . In contrast, I would like to put Australia aviation scene in contrast to Malaysia aviation scene. Australia have a strong currency which enable it to purchase a ticket at a lower value than to a Malaysia currency. Value-to-value their cost of flying (as a passenger) is certainly better than us. Australia continental size and lack of interstate prove to be a winning factor for airliners which in Malaysia size is not a big issue and we certainly can depend on PLUS highway is there is a need to travel interstate, eliminating the need of air travel. The last issue is the expensive cost in airport usage. Airfare has certainly decrease over the years in order to promote air travel to the mass traveler but the cost of heading, staying, and indulging at the airport certainly are not. I don't really see the point of such excessive cost. Why do i need to pay extra when i go to the airport, why do i need to pay extra when i am eating at airport and why do i need to pay quite a lot for parking. Granted it would be okay is such scenario happen at a premium terminal but flying from a low cost terminal, the overall cost at the airport alone hike up the overall expenses on travelling. How does this really promote air travel to the mass public. They are better off driving to their destination rather than might. Based on the factors above, does Malaysia really need another airline? Granted the airliners now that we have cater to different market operating from different base to serve different sector. But even them have to face off the instability of the aviation scene. How might this two airlines do better than what we currently have now? Let that about the airline in the picture. I will start of with Rayani Air. It is based in Malacca-Batu Berendam airport. The airline look like a Virtual Airline rather than a real airline. There is talk where are they going to fly to but not really mentioning their business strategy, the aircraft they intended to use. Lack of hype marketing and no launch date. This to me look like a scam airline. Second in the picture is FlyMojo. well they are slightly better at announcing their arrival by doing so at the recent LIMA 2015. But i still ponder on their choice of aircraft. They decided to purchase Bombardier latest offering the CS series and proud to be the first in the region to do so. My issue is that if you operate a new airline, would you not get an already establish model or mint-condition aircraft to get the company going? As we have seen in the Airbus A380 and B787, new aircraft tend to have teething problem and this will differ the delivery date. How can you operate an airline without an airplane? That really intrigue me. The CS100 is not really something you would want to use as your mainliner. AirAsia did show an interest on purchasing Bombardier aircraft but pull the plug off at the eleventh hour due to higher cost per passenger. It's commonly know that smaller aircraft have higher cost per passenger as opposer to the larger aircraft. This mean that FlyMojo need to charge slightly more than it competitors. Even if they play by volume (increase flight frequency) they are still worse off that their competitor so who is FlyMojo target market? How would they describe them self to the flying public? As a full flex airline or a low cost carrier? This issue that been playing in my mind so i would look forward to any reply in regard of this situation
