reezal 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Air India’s pilots roster to be reviewed next week NEW DELHI, JULY 28: The Ministry of Civil Aviation will review Air India’s need for pilots next week. The Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Ajit Singh, has asked the airline to update the Ministry on how many pilots they would require, both in the near as well as long term, official sources said. “The Government is keen to find out how many pilots of the erstwhile Indian (Airlines) will be flying the Boeing 787 aircraft and whether the vacancy created by flying these big jets will be filled by other pilots in the airline, or hired Indian or expatriate pilots. All these issues are likely to be flagged at the review meeting,” a senior Government official said. Three planes — of the 27 Boeing 787 aircraft that the airline had ordered — are expected to join its fleet by mid-August. The induction of the aircraft, which has been delayed by over four years, is expected soon after the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gives it nod to the compensation that Air India is seeking from Boeing for delayed deliveries. The compensation package has already been approved by a Group of Ministers headed by the Home Minister, Mr P Chidambaram. The airline plans to utilise the Boeing 787 aircraft to expand its international operations. For the first eight weeks after its arrival, the Boeing 787 aircraft will be utilised on domestic routes. But, from October end, the airline plans to utilise the Boeing 787 to launch a daily flight on the Delhi-Melbourne-Sydney sector. This will be a new route for Air India. The airline also plans to use the aircraft to launch a daily flight to Kuala Lumpur. ashwini.phadnis@thehindu.co.in SOURCE: http://www.thehindub...rue&ref=wl_home According to this article, Air India would utilize B787 for the planned DEL-KUL flight. I guess AI would be the first carrier to operate the dreamliner to KLIA. Cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szesyn 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2012 Read somewhere online, PAL (with a new owner and management team) is keen on resuming flights to KLIA in the near future, though not sure this year or next year. I think SEAir will also add Kuala Lumpur next year when they receive new aircraft. I have my doubts about PR starting the MNL-KUL service. They did not operate the route even when there were still no budget carriers around, leaving MH the sole operator for many years although for a while, PR did code-share with MH but that did not last long either. If PR enters the market now, it will have to lower its prices substantially. As it is, PR is losing out in the domestic Philippine market to 5J and the rest because of its higher fares. That is one reason why PR started 2P- Airphil Express (formerly Air Philippines) to compete in this sector. Now that 2P is operating the MNL-KUL route, I doubt PR is going to compete with its subsidiary. Their priority at the moment is getting back the FAA approval to fly to Europe - word has it that FCO and CDG will be their first destinations when this happens. I think they would like to include LHR except that getting a landing slot there at a decent time is next to impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
