Any reason why?

 

Hahaha...who would have thought for a 30 min flight between KCH-PNK we have a grand total of 3 airlines!

 

Urgh...still waiting for more direct flights ex KCH!

I think Expressair may not be able to compete with Air Asia or Wings Air. Edited by Waiping

QATAR AIRWAYS adds A350 to KUL for May 2018

Let's hope it gets extended. Just flew QR's 350 and it's a great plane (I prefer 77W J over 350/787 J for longer flights tho) and for a ~7 hour daytime flight, the 359 is perfect!

 

Also, QR 852/853 will be operated by 787s for most of summer.

Does this also eans there will be an end to morning 330XT service to DPS?

I think DPS-KUL will continue - there is heavy demand on the KUL-DPS sector.

 

If they wanted to discontinue that, they would have announced DPS-KUL-BOM as discontinued....

Wow. That's during the summer period. Hard to imagine it's because of low demand? Perhaps operational requirements? To be fair though that's only 10 flights

Isn't this during Ramadan? Also runway 33 will be closed. Airlines are reducing flights to ease congestion.

I think the bulk of umrah crowd dont go via DXB?

Maybe. But my recent visit to KUL there was a long line at EK check in counter with pax wearing jubah, kopiah and other outfit usually related to umrah pilgrimage. Maybe i was wrong. 😊
