Guide on Regional Flights by Non Regional Airlines

And no more LHR to NYC by KU and AI?

Correct.

The last one to pull out was KU.

Inofficiall reason:

Because of a political/legal row over a passenger denied boarding because he is Jewish.

KU is forced - by Kuwaiti law - to deny transportation of any Jewish passenger ...

So, in order to avoid further serious legal trouble in US they decided to terminate the service altogether.

Are you sure its Jewish rather than israeli?

I stand corrected ...

Of course it´s Israeli (citizenship) related - because Kuwait does not recognize Israel as a country.

 

Btw. we had a similar "incident" here in Germany which involved an Israeli citizen having purchased a ticket from Germany via Kuwait to BKK on KU but was denied boarding.

The court decided that although he basically had the right for compensation KU was effectively unable to fulfil the terms of contract.

Ultimately no compensation was due because the passenger did not check in advance if he complies with entry requirements at intermediate transit points (Kuwait in this case) as this is the customers responsibility.

So LHR loses BIMAN to some intermediate destination?

 

And no more LHR to NYC by KU and AI?

 

LHR also lost Royal Brunei on the LHR-DXB sector when they decided to fly non stop from BWN this year.

Saw a FB feed that Waiping has just flown PIA presumably to BKK.

And soon, it will switch to B787-10 - but there is a further premium on fares!

SQ uses its new A350s and 787s from SIN-KUL-SIN mainly to use it for familiarisation for its flight crew. But however when SQ returned all its A330s, then it will be served with A350/787 Regional.

Great news! Now we can fly to SIN with Air Mauritius. The price is somewhere between MH and SQ.

 

Yippie

 

however one thing must bear in mind is that I have often see Air Mauritius flights being delayed many times.

Was flying in and out KUL-SIN in the past few weeks with SQ118 onboard their new A350. A very nice product I would say (they even decorated the cabin for Christmas) But too bad the flight was too short lol

Well SQ118/119 are now back to the usual A359s.

 

Air Mauritius also cancel their flights - so reliability is a question mark. Hopefully, when they receive their A339s, it will be better.

We hope to hear your review on PIA soon.
