Clearly this has nothing to do with school holidays but rather the change over from Malaysian Airline System Bhd to Malaysia Airlines Bhd, prob staffing issues during the transition period.

Wonder if that would trigger a change in Boeing customer code too? If Boeing is still using them

Maybe one step closer for a newco to operate a widebody a/c only

I dont really agree about this as their narrowbody 737 are more than half of the entire fleet,and works mainly as regional player

Yeah, cos MH operates B738s to many destinations whereas others use wide bodies.

I have a feeling this is about CM wanted to test the market for the widebodies on selected domestic and regional flights.

 

how do I check the plane I get on the flight like you did?

Swapping for widebody for increased demand during school holiday make sense but why need to cancel 738 flight and overall capacity remain about the same?

 

The cost for two separate flights with two sets of crews with roughly the same capacity as one flight with a larger aircraft can be markedly higher.

 

Then again, there's always the likelihood that revenue for two NB flights > one WB flight.

I am very very surprised the secondary hub status of BKI seem to have remained intact so far

Considering how quickly routes were dropped to/from here during the last revamp

MAS to sell Abacus stake

 

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will be divesting its indirect 8.84% share in Abacus International Pte Ltd as part of streamlining its businesses and divesting off non-core assets.
The sale is expected to be completed by later this year, MAS said in a statement today.
MAS and 10 other major airlines in Asia will be selling their combined 65% stake in Abacus, the leading global distribution system (GDS) for travel in Asia Pacific, to Sabre Corporation.
Sabre, the existing equity and technology partner, currently owns 35% of Abacus. Collectively, these airlines were founding shareholders of Abacus which has grown to become the leading GDS provider in Asia Pacific since starting in 1998.

I suspect that they are doing that to maintain "track position" with their arch rival.

For anyone who was wondering where MH will be sending its 737 from the regional/domestic consolidation, you win if you guessed PVG! MH will now fly 737s on certain MH 386/387 rotations! I thought it was bad enough that MH sends 737 to HKG/TPE/DEL etc., but 5 hour red-eye to PVG tho...

If flying the B738 on regional routes is to become a new feature of MH, then the cabin should be reconfigured for that purpose. They should revert to 32" seat pitch and only use sky interior aircraft.

IIRC, MH used to fly B744 on KUL-PVG route....

Have only flown the 77E on that particular route. Yes, they did send the 744 to PVG at one stage.

The current 30" pitch is bearable for around 2 hours flight. More than that, it's quite cramp. Some more the long queues for the toilet.

 

I prefer The 777 anytime

ie. Malindo's config.

 

Nobody seems to comment anything with Malindo. Their seat are good especially people flying them to India.

The only way for MH to provide a config similar to Malindo is either to lose seats in Economy or to scrunch up Business by removing the legrests & closing up the pitch. Don't forget Malindo's using 739s which are longer.

Guess they have to do what they have to do.

 

The seats arrangement in B738 is just too tight, yet they use it for regional flights. It was a mistake they made from the very start.

Didn't Malaysia Airlines has the option to convert some of their B738 to B739ER if they opted to do so? It would be a waste they don't use this option.

 

They have another 10 B737NG on order if I am not mistaken.

If they want to introduce a new narrow body product fo regional flights, a better platform would be the A321neo LR configured for regional economy and/or premium economy as well as business class seats.

 

As many of the 9M-MLx series do not feature the Boeing Sky interior, they could be returned after the end of lease and be replaced by the A321neo LR.


An A321neo LR with PW geared turbofans would give awesome CASK, if the product is properly configured!

MH made huge mistakes when they put people without aviation industry experience in charge... All these bean counters think of is to fill the plane with as many bums as possible. Nothing was done about future fleet planning, upgrading soft and hard products and offering comfort to it's passengers. Cost cutting at it's worst.

Let's see what CM can do.... Hopefully without his hands tied up by the makhluk halus

Agree. Since the day when Tun M installed TR as CEO, MH has begun its downhill slide.....Two decades of mismanagement. Can you believe it?

 

Fingers crossed for CM.
