Raj 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 Several updates. From JAN 2012, Cebu Pacific goes double daily with a tweak in Dept and Arrival time for 5J499. http://airlineroute.net/2011/09/21/5j-cebkul-jan12/ Hope this paves way for the other Philippine's carriers to start flying to KUL. UL puts the A320 on new direct flights to KL. Best to catch the Wide bodies before they are gone. http://airlineroute.net/2011/09/07/ul-w11-update1/ Current CMB SIN KUL CMB service is going to daily as mentioned. The Bad: May possibly be the end of CES spell on the KMG-NNG-KUL route and hopefully Shenzhen comes back on this route. http://airlineroute.net/2011/09/12/mu-kmg-w11intl/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 SEPANG, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Taiwan's largest airline, China Airlines, has introduced a second route to KL International Airport (KLIA) with the new service from Kaohsiung effective Wednesday. It will be flying on the Kaohsiung-Kuala Lumpur route every Wednesday and Saturday utilizing the B737-800 aircraft with 158 seats configuration. The flight duration takes approximately four hours and 20 minutes. Currently, China Airlines operates daily flights between Taipei and Kuala Lumpur. Speaking after a welcome reception to commemorate China Airlines' inaugural flight from Kaohsiung here, Malaysia Airports Chief Operating Officer Datuk Abdul Hamid Mohd Ali said the new service would increase connectivity for KLIA. "The tourism attraction and business opportunities in both countries will certainly ensure the success of this new flight," he said. China Airlines General Manager for Malaysia Edward Wang Chia Chuan said his company expected to increase the frequency of flights from Kaohsiung to Kuala Lumpur from twice a week to daily as soon as possible.

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted November 29, 2011 nice! maybe i should try SV's new 77W service! Btw, be careful when you mix 77W & SV in the same sentence...SV is known to use "77W" in its schedules to signify its refurbished 772ER. That is why the real 77W is recognised as 773 in SV's schedules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
