Josh T 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 The B744 is such a beautiful plane. I hope MH makes a decision about the B772 replacements soon (before the end of the year). I suppose the A359 is best suited as it has similar capacity (if not a bit more) to the B772. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raymund Yeoh 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 Wat.....only 2 MH owns..... out of I think more than 10 B772 rite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 MRA all the way through MRQ so 17. Now that 333s have replaced most 772s AUS and NEA routes they don't need as many of those 772s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) 2 Are they the 2 newest ones? They only need the B772s to cover flights to FRA, AMS, AKL and LAX now that the A380s are covering CDG and LHR. The new A333s will be covering all the Australian cities and Asian destinations. They are currently using the B772 for IST but an A333 can easily cover that. I think they'll really only need 7 or 8 B772s all up. Edited March 11, 2013 by Josh T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, those two are MRP and MRQ. MH acquired these 2 aircraft together with 2 B744F, MPR and MPS back from PMB in a later transaction post BTP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 I think that MH will probably phase out all their triple sevens by 2015-2016. By then, they can start taking delivery of the long range A333s that Airbus have announced last year. I believe MH can excercise their remaining options for this type: http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/airbus-offers-new-242-tonne-a330-takeoff-weight-capability-to-extend-market-coverage/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
