Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 31, 2013 Congrats to MH for a well orchestrated joining event. I really enjoyed all the live streaming telecasts so far. The Gala Dinner was fantastic! Whoever is in charge of branding at MAS really isn't doing a good job in my opinion. Sekejap biru, sekejap merah.. What's this man.. On the contrary, I think they are moving towards the right direction this time around. The new blue title as previously applied on the A380 and on MXB for the purpose of this event will eventually become a standard across the fleet, which by the time of its completion, the only branding confusion will be the livery of the A380 versus all the other swooshes (this is also provided that all the old grey belly red/blue cheatline have all been painted to swoosh). Total 3 planes oneworld shirt at the moment, B738 and 2 A333. First maiden flight wearing oneworld by tomorrow sector KUL-MEL at departure time 1015. It is not the case. Actually only 1 aircraft that received a full oneworld treatment, i.e. MTE. MXB only received some minor adjustments - the logo at its vertical stabilizer, the blue title and the oneworld orb near door 1L. I have checked on flightradar24, no other A333 spent more than 2 weeks on the ground like MTE did to get a paint job. and I do hope that they will do some major uplifting exercise to their call centre!plus....their customer service office too Yes. Honestly I am so nervous about this one. I am in the opinion that MH can not cope with it and has no clue of what is coming their way with regards to this matter.

I think they just need to apply the oneworld logo and lettering to a specific size. The airline's name/logo should be placed below it. MH's livery is similar to JL's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alberttky 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2013 Malaysia Airlines finally gives oneworld a presence in fast-growing Southeast Asia market Malaysia Airlines (MAS) formally joined oneworld on 1-Feb-2013, giving the alliance 12 full members and its first member in Southeast Asia. For oneworld, MAS fills a white spot in one of the world’s fastest growing regions. For MAS, oneworld supports the carrier’s new focus on the premium end of the market. MAS is in the latter stages of a restructuring which began at the end of 2011, when it unveiled a new business plan. Joining oneworld is a key component of the business plan. While only three oneworld members currently serve MAS’ Kuala Lumpur hub, joining the alliance expands its virtual network and increases its relevance in the premium market. Under its new business plan MAS is improving its premium product and also targeting higher yielding economy passengers. Over the last several years the carrier has lost premium passengers and corporate accounts to aggressive rivals in Asia and the Gulf. MAS is now trying to woo these passengers back and sees membership in a global alliance as helping that effort.
