Rode bkk-kul on et few months ago. Total Pob 56 including me and 5 other pax that came from the bkk-kul leg. Good catering meals on the b763 loads of cheese serve on Y and everyone occupied the empty mid seat and turn it into their flat bed. Guess they had to reroute or the route keeps bleeding.

 

got a very good deal last month flying CLoud Nine return for RM 760. both legs the cabin was filled with less than 5 pax however service was top notch in their 788.ET will surely be missed on this route.

Wow, a daily flight seems a bit too ambitious one might ask...I was expecting 3x per week. Though, the timing will be great for spotters!

This I agree too. However, looking at long term, will the route be sustainable, especially the inbound flight to Shenzhen? It has nothing to offer, and Malaysians need visa to go China. Unless you are looking for cheap ticket/ alternative to get to Hong Kong by taking the high speed rail, Shenzhen is pretty darn boring place to go.

Can't be more boring than Johor other than Legoland? Johor ain't cheap with the influx of Singaporeans, making things more expensive than other sides of Malaysia.

Yes, it is much more boring than Johor unfortunately. Shenzhen is an industrial city. Offices and factories everywhere, nothing for tourism unless you plan to bulk purchase goods and ship to Malaysia. At least in Johor, there are JPO, malls, and some other theme parks.

Exactly... with robust development in Johor and Iskandar city, there should be some connection for the businessmen to fly and trade on the goods and materials for construction purpose. I noticed quite a lot of Chinese developers in Malaysia and in Iskandar nowadays.

 

But again, let's see how long it could last.

Just about to post this regarding one aircraft. They will receive second A320 tomorrow. Good to have some competition to Kathmandu, one of the "to-visit" place during recent years.

 

They are planning to commence twice weekly flight to Yangon on 24th Feb 2017. Two aircraft, four destinations (Currently flying to Doha and Colombo too).
