Another leakage from our spy at the MH Rumour Department:

 

MH is going to upgrade KTM to daily B772, up from daily B738.

[Kar Yong Lim 0]

Wow - KTM is doing really well then

[Syukri 0]

Really? Wow...but 772 approach for KTM would be very2 steep one... Flaps and gear must be used way early, and the approach glide must be more than the usual 3 degree..

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

I think TG serves KTM with 772.

 

Yep confirmed. Stolen from Suzanne's trip report.

Finally AKL is a daily affair. http://airlineroute.net/2013/07/03/mh-akl-w13/

 

Now waiting for FRA to be daily too.

Technically it isn't daily - and it's only for the Southern Summer months

This is really stupid...press releases, full page adverts, asking folks to book online...but DXB doesn't even exist as a destination on MH's booking engine.

Right decision to return to DRW. They will capture a lot of OneWorld customers.

Guys, do you think BKI-NRT on the B738 will work?

[alberttky 0]

Guys, do you think BKI-NRT on the B738 will work?

Nope. Not enough demand.

[Aaron Goh 1]

Guys, do you think BKI-NRT on the B738 will work?

Yes make it daily hit the market

[Benjamin Ho 0]

Just make sure they deploy the route using 738 with PTV, then it should work.

[Sharil Abdul Rahman 0]

Guys, do you think BKI-NRT on the B738 will work?

It should have been BKI-HND.

 

Then it should work.

 

a good excuse to have an a333 semi-stationed at BKI.

[Isaac 0]

Guys, do you think BKI-NRT on the B738 will work?

Shouldn't be a problem with something like 2 flights a week. There are always more than just a few Japan bound passengers or passengers originating from Japan to/from BKI and now most of them are now either taking KA/CX via HKG or OZ via ICN.

 

Anyone knows how's the load on the twice weekly BKI-KIX anyway ?

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

Now that MH is in oneworld, it is a good route to develop and nurture, especially for the traffic between Borneo and the USA via NRT.
