  1. Emirates to Fly 2 Daily A380 to Kuala Lumpur in late-June 2012

     

    by JL

     

    Update at 0800GMT 11JUN12

    From 25JUN12 to 29JUN12, Emirates is increasing capacity on Dubai – Kuala Lumpur route, with the introduction of 2nd Daily Airbus A380 operation. The 2nd Daily A380 service operates as EK342/343, during this period. (2 Daily A380 service from KUL from 26JUN12 to 30JUN12)

    Schedule:

     

    EK408 DXB0240 – 1350KUL 77W D

    EK346 DXB0355 – 1455KUL 388 D

    EK342 DXB1030 – 2140KUL 388 D

    EK343 KUL0200 – 0450DXB 388 D

    EK409 KUL1010 – 1300DXB 77W D

    EK347 KUL1930 – 2220DXB 388 D

    It appears that the airline opt for larger-size aircraft instead of adding extra flights due to fleet deployment. However, the airline will add 1 extra flight on 01JUL12 with following schedule:

    EK3340 DXB0900 – 2020KUL 77W

    EK3341 KUL2300 – 0150+1DXB 77W

  2. Iraqi Airways plan to fly to KUL :)

     

    "We want to expand our fleet and operate routes to Europe, Malaysia and India. We want to operate just like any other regional airline," said Nasser Hussein Bandar, the head of Iraq's civil aviation authority. Iraqi Airways, founded in 1945, is among the oldest airlines in the region but has no planes of its own after it liquidated its assets and attempted to dissolve the entity to avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars of debt owed to Kuwait.

    On a slightly better note, the much criticized GCC cabin on the A330 seats will be refurbished, full flat seats will be installed I believe. Together with an increased MTOW version and fitting crew bunks, ops into Europe and maybe NZ are being considered.

     

    Its good for them refurbish A330.. but how about their B777 no plan?? Is it possible for their A330 to fly until Europe?

     

    Btw, can we expect for MAS to surprise us with the A350 or B787 order for this coming Paris Air Show?? :D


  4. What i mean is only the name.. not the whole structure. They shld streamline the brand either FF or Maswing for turboprop operation, me think :)

     

    MASWings should not be used as it receives subsidies from the government. As such, it should be kept that way to ensure transparency and accountability.

     

    If MH wants to start a true blue LCC, then it should not use any of its existing brands. It should be like SQ (with Scoot) - come up with a new brand and identity. Even though SQ had the Tiger brand, they decided that it was better to have a new brand for their long haul budget carrier. MH should look to doing something similar so that there is no confusion and passengers can set their expectations correctly.


  5. The loads on the KUL-AMS sector must be really good. A pity MH is not going to use the A380 on this route, even if it may only be 3 or 4 times a week (since they won't have enough of the dugongs for a daily service).

     

    yeah.. thats what i thought as well... they should alternate AMS with MEL for the available A380.


  6. “We are also on track to win back more customers with a major re-fleeting exercise. This year, 23 new aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities will join our fleet. This is led by our flagship A380 aircraft which is on schedule to enter into service on 1 July 2012.

    23 new aircraft FY2012?? Apart from 5 A380 schedule delivery and 2 A330 what else??


  7. Believed that KLIA2 planned opening in APRIL 2013 will not going to happen as still alot of work have yet to be done esp the runway and and its terminal tarmac areas - its very likely that when it does finally open for service it will be last quarter of 2013 at best.

     

    Construction not my expertise but from what i see they need to complete everything by end of this year... Jan to March will be more on testing of the systems and etc. So lets see how they perform until end of this year.. 7 months to go :D


  8. what we are lack of is the home based carrier....every major airports around the world have at least 4 local based airlines or make it as a hub. Even SIN has 5 local airlines based there (excluding SCOOT). BKK even more......

     

     

    I hope by 2015 when the asean policy comes in it will change.... Maybe we can even see SQ having a direct flight from KUL to other destinations (apart from SIN) :)


  9. That's what I've been saying all along! If MH wants to be a premium carrier competing with SQ and CX on regional routes using the B738, then they need to use angled lie-flat seats on their B738s!!! They can just have 3 rows in business class rather than the current 4 and the seat pitch in economy needs to be increased to 32".

     

    i read it somewhere that it actually more cost efficient if you just have a so-so product but promote it as being the best in its class rather than you actually have it. Sounds stupid but its kind of true... :D


  10. I dont think its too far away from the city center. Besides, we have the transportation system/infrastucture to support it. Maybe we need to enhance it by providing more options? We already heard the news that some airport situated in the middle of city for having constraint in expanding the capacity and even some of them have a curfew by not allowing night flight. So in a way, its kind of a good thing for KLIA to be located where it stand today.
