Josh T 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 I just hope MAS keeps their 744s around a little longer. After March, they won't be flying anywhere, so they won't be active in the fleet anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Geoff Most of the aircraft are stored at Subang Airport, waiting for re-delivery service. There are one or two A330s at KLIA sans livery, but I couldn't get the rego as they were too far away. You may visit Subang Aiport if you can. You'll be in awe how many A330 and B734 are currently undergoing or waiting for redelivery servicing. MKX last flight should have been end of Oct or early Nov. After that, her flight are zero-ed out. I think MPQ is stored pending refurbishment for charter service. As Lock SH has stated, MH intends to keep two B744 pax for charter services.

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I remember that my first successful upload into A.net was way back in Dec 2001. I took a photo of brand new Papa Oscar on Dec 14, 2001, the night of its arrival from Everett. She was my baby at that time as just the day earlier, i was in the office until around 3am to ensure the final payment went through into Boeing's account before transfer of title took place. On December 10, 2012, almost exactly 11 years later, I took the same shot of her on the same tarmac at KLIA Hangar. I felt sad to see her in such a state. And i have been told that her disposal to a third party is in progress. Good bye Oscar. We are going to miss you. Thank you for all the flights u did for MH.

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Very touching walk down memory lane T Azahan. I felt the same for MPF as that was my first ride on MH 747-400 series and now it is gone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Azahan 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Yes Rozhan, very very sad indeed. It was tough at that time as the effect of Asian financial crisis was physically felt. And MH were in restructuring. And i clearly remember the big boss said, "Let other airlines park their brand new Boeings in the desert. But for us, we must pick up every single aircraft to show that we Malaysians will honor the deal in any situation". It was not just MH. It was the reputation of a nation at stake.
