Depends on where you are seated on those non-BSI 738s...

 

- crumpled jackets but acres of legroom

- feet gets to "fly" in biz cabin though rest of body stays in Y....

That is the RM 64,000 statement right there. If you know WHERE to sit - the Non-BSI 738's are far far far far far far far far far far superior to the BSI ones.

Sorry not necessarily 14th June but I just did a check again. Trying to do a dummy booking for KUL-TWU on 19 Feb 2015 and returning 27 Feb 2015.

 

Both MH2660/2661 and MH2664/2665 still showing B737-400. They could change the equipment closer to time.

Sometimes MAS booking engine is slow to update the type of the operating aircraft.

Yup, just checked on MHmobile KUL/TWU 20 Feb 2015 still showing B734 operating aircraft.

So anyone can confirm that MH1165 PEN/KUL this Sat 14 Jun would be the last flight for B734 land in KLIA?

Hi,

 

Can anyone confirm that B772 MRG and MRN have been withdrawn from the MH fleet?

 

You might want to message Mod and change your username, ZKNCL.

sorry, maybe none related question here. Is there any chances that the aircraft can be sold to civilian and if it can, how is the procedures. I remember Kidzania had one withdrawn AK 733...

 

Maybe you could try to contact the owner of the intended aircraft for starter?

They are withdrawing the 777 because of the recent events?

No - MH had planned to retire three B772s in 2014, phasing out the older frames. However, two of these are now "automatically retired". So they only need to retire one more.

 

However, with the restructuring, the plans to retire aircraft may be reviewed again. We will have to wait till the end of the month for any further announcements. Even the MH Q2 financial results are delayed till 28 August! See: http://www.malaysianwings.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20008&hl=

AI has been trying to unload their 777LR, maybe MH should look into them. From I understand, 777-200LR is economically better than 77E, especially on longer routes.

Although I would really like to see MAS colour on raked wing. but none of MAS route demands the use of B77L. It will be a financial hell for MAS accounting department to work out the numbers to justify the purchase. 3 is too little for even the four Europe destinations.
