Nice catch KS Ong . Wonder if there will be changing the name from Malindo to Batik or retain Malindo?

Nice catch there Flee and Deezzul

I wonder what aircraft will they add. Possibly more B734F or look for a narrow body?

Probably Maintenance with Airod.

There is already a Batik Air in Indonesia, So I doubt it will be called Batik Air Batik Air Malaysia might be possible but I doubt many like the sound of that.

In that case you mean Lima and not Foxtrot?

Eventually yes, but at the moment no, there is more of a slot constraint issue at CGK and alot of the main airports hence the deployment of domestic routes first.

No they haven't. The 747s still do their weekly JED run, the two A330s are doing kno vv and upg vv daily.

Apparently its for seat fitting. they ferry the aircraft seat less from BFI.

Yeap thats very true. Expected plan is to start with 2 B737-400. Sometime end of october/early november.

Its a good thing, i rather be on an MX or new ML series then an FF anyday. Interiors are screwed and old.

From what i heard alot gone tech hence the delays/cancellations

2 Aircraft will be heading to Pakistan this/next week. From source XXD and XXG. Ops for PIA

You feel sorry for the staff, You guys should go on youtube and watch how Lion Air Passengers go after the ground stuff and see if the ground staff gets angry or reacts like this wanker in MAS. If you cant handle the heat, you shouldn't be there. At the end of the day, you are representing MAS and the "MH Hospitality", I think people would have seen otherwise. But this is a clear example of malaysian's these days, no patience. Can you name the preparations?

So no more new B738's for MAS after MXW?

SJ cannot even sustain/compete in indonesia, no way they will even consider entering into the Malaysian market. We just closed our Medan-Penang route. So this news/rumour is as good as dead.

Hahaha, I don't think this news is true. I believe these are new (2nd hand) aircraft that have gone to SZB for some checks and painting etc before continuing their journey to CGK. Haha would prefer to be base in KL.

That isn't the new livery for sriwijaya. Instead that will be the livery of its new full service carrier Nam Air.

Its no surprise, in many airports that are located on the outskirts of the main islands, this is quite normal. Fence are either thorn or broken down hence animals have access to the aerodromes. I've personally had an experience of landing in gorontalo at night and we had dogs on the runways.

Further Update, there are 2 charter flights a day running up till the 2nd of June. Both flights at this stage will be operated by B737-300. One arrives mid morning, followed by the second one around noon.

For those interested. There will be a Sriwijaya Air charter flight from Pontianak tomorrow. Aircraft type should be B733/B735. Arrival should be late morning/noon.

This is after Batavia ceased hence the statement "sriwijaya has gotten the rights". Old school? The route is going to be flown by the newly leased 737-500's most probably with winglets. 8C and 120Y seating. I think our aircraft are alot better maintained internally and externally then batavia anyday anytime.

Sriwijaya have gotten the rights for the PNK-KCH route. May start operations in February. Time will tell.

Lion Air today has commenced their 3rd Daily Flight to KUL JT286 Jakarta (CGK)21:00 Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) (KUL) 23:55 JT287 Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) (KUL) 07:50 Jakarta (CGK) 08:50 Aicraft will spend the night in KL

I can confirm not Malaysians involved
