MH joining alliance whats everyone hoping for right now...............they will get a huge benefits with helps from airlines all over the world especially if they join skyteam, because they lack of Asian, Middle eastern and most definately Australian routes. Enrich miles will be more beneficial if it is a skyteam(or others alliance) miles card, as we know that MH Enrich is sux I don't know if Airline has to pay to join alliance, but I believe the airline has to revise their schedule..idrk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree if MH join Skyteam, it's less the competition in Asia. Star Alliance already have competition in asia, and Malaysia stuck between it, what i mean is SQ and TG. we might get KUL-IAH nonstop with MH or CO as benefit Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izanee 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 yeah, u wish! KUL-LAX and KUL-EWR need to be beefed up first to daily services. forget IAH! if we join ST...then maybe we'll have joint service with CO on the KUL-EWR route! MH can do 4xweekly, CO can do the other 3xweekly. we can only dream.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth K 3 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 When MH join skyteam, North American and Malaysian can be easily interact. This can make people from both countries travel thru CO and MH served routes. If MH join skyteam, MH will be really strong in South/North America sky Just my dua cent worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chan CS 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 herm... really hope that MAS will consider it... how big is the chance for MAS getting to skyteam at this moment anyway? any guys have any idea?? maybe we should write a letter to consult with Mr Idris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If MH join skyteam, MH will be really strong in South/North America sky Just my dua cent worth There's 3 US carrier in Skyteam, DL, NWA and CO. In current condition, DL might out of this matter. Malaysia might get join service from CO and NWA, NWA which is also MH enrich partner. NWA flight might be LAX-KUL via NRT, since NRT is like NWA base in the east. CO might serve EWR-KUL via Stockholm. the service don't have to be daily, 2 to 3 time a week is good enough. MH could start to cut out some route or stop daily flight and save more as these route served by skyteam partners. MH will be a strong airline if it is this way. just my cheap suggestion Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith T 2 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Another offtopic......................................... from China Airlines to MH...........cool CA is Air China. China Airlines is CI. CX only holds 10% of the shares in CA though so I don't know how much control the former really has on the latter. But you can bet *A members will soon be spitting s#1t in light of the fact that a ow member is trying to deny them access to the biggest (or one of the biggest?) mainland Chinese carrier (ie cash cow).
