    So if we need to use agent to obtain visa, what is the purpose of RM399 one way fare?

    so return 800, luggage...err errr errr.....about 800

    visa hotel bla bla bla......all in, about the same with flying Emirates, or Etihad and even Qatar

     

    Dont think its AAX fault if they choose to fly to a country which require visa (or any other other airlines for that matter).. At least we have another option to fly to JED(non-stop). SV/MH and now D7 competition among them sure will benefit us the customer. Im not complaining about it :D


  2. Interesting.. they are indeed have plan to increase on KUL to London. Is it LHR or maybe Gatwick next??

     

     

    "We will also be increasing travel frequencies within the Asean region such as Jakarta and Bangkok as well as in Europe such as the popular Kuala Lumpur-London route,"

  3. Unfortunately Berlin is low yield. If MH couldn't make FCO and ZRH work, BER is definitely out. They need to make FRA at least daily. It is a big financial hub and tourist spot.

    Berlin is the hotspot for tourism in Germany right now, you can see alot of asian ppls flocking berlin nowadays. FRA is a financial hub but no way a tourist hotspot. Not much things to visit. FRA disadvantage is the curfew and besides everyone fly to FRA.

     

    If MH fly to BER, they shld take advantage and codeshare with AB for cities like Munich/ Hamburg/ dusseldorf etc. and even maybe to cities in russia.


  4. Airbus to raise A330 take-off weight and fuel capacity

     

    Airbus is further hiking the maximum take-off weight of the A330, raising it to 242t, and will offer a higher fuel capacity option for the larger A330-300 variant.

    The airframer had previously disclosed plans to increase the twinjet's take-off weight to 240t.

    Airbus's latest enhancements will extend the range of the A330-300 by 500nm (930km) over the 235t model, and by 350nm for the 238t A330-200 at full passenger load.

    It will give operators of the -300 the option of activating the centre wing fuel tank, a standard feature on the longer-range -200 but one which has remained unused on the larger aircraft.

    This will increase the -300's fuel capacity from 97,500 litres to more than 139,000 litres. The modification will include tank inerting.

    Airbus hopes the improvements will extend the A330-300's range to 6,100nm by 2015, enabling it to perform westbound flights from south-east Asia to Europe.

    So will MH buy this one and retired their 777?? :D


  5.  

    With the aircraft full, MH should capitalise on that to market its network - they should offer connections to Asia for those pax arriving on the A380 services. They should look at marketing and operating schedules. Try to make their A380 pax fly more MH sectors, once they have arrived in KUL. :)

     

    Totally agree with this.. the priority for A380 should be to EU and Australia. This will help to feed MH asian sectors. I think its a good move to send their A380 to CDG. MH definately need to order more A380 for destination like SYD/MEL/NRT.

     

    Btw, Its kinda of weird for MH not to fly daily to FRA.. i mean the business between Germany and Malaysia is big.. if im not mistaken even bigger than with France. If the curfew thingy one of the reason than they shld thinking to start fly to BER then codeshare with Air Berlin for the rest destination in Germany. It will be more awesome if they fly A380 to BER :yahoo:
