Wow i've never heard of a330 being less fuel efficient let alone one that is on PW. What sort of weed you've been smoking? It is bassically one of the most fuel efficient widebody. The a330neo is only efficient if you put up more seats like an lcc as the rolls royce engines are more power hungry.

Try changing a y ticket on JAL it cost as a brand new ticket unless its flex full fare. 

You guys are asking the impossible in a very unstable market at the moment. Its simple Malaysians are too poor cheapskate to fly fsc, foreign premium pax have abandoned malaysia. Transiting passengers are on subsidised gulf carriers that offer greater value product and services.  Not helping is the current government promoting many inconsistent policies that have deterred investors to neighboring countries instead. More so our pm has been busy angering neighboring countries and trade partners on policies which he believes is right regardless of diplomacy.

Car prices are increasing 25% oh  wait its not confirmed til year end. How is government going to instill investor confidence with this kind of flip flopping. And with lack of foreign businesses for fdis how do you expect flag carriers to stay afloat unless it goes full low carrier which many of us are not keen on it.

A333 Neo CASK is cheaper than A350/787?

MH change of date on ONE SECTOR is MORE EXPENSIVE than brand NEW RETURN ticket.

As if MH was not subsidized by our gomen. how much has gomen had written off on MH, how much more to go?

How much premium fare MH could charge by serving RM4.5 meal box, sugary drinks?  MH should ask, why foreign premium pax have abandoned MH.

At existing MH network, how big is transit pax market for MH?

MH issue is not new or started in last few years but in existent for many years.

The facts remain despite multiple BTP and change of CEO, MH is still bleeding >RM800m p.a and not a financial feasible business unit.

This is hardly an MH-only issue. The concept isn’t very difficult to understand: if you want free/cheap changes, buy a flexible ticket.

Much easier to understand than things like CASK if you ask me :)

Interesting articles to read and somehow it feels like Malaysians are undermined as if we do not have our own brains to think for ourselves as to what image we have of any company or agencies. We do not need anyone to tell us what is the truth and what is not; leave that to us to think for ourselves. Giving excuses has led to the state we are in; excuses after excuses while decisions are made to restore one of the prides of Malaysia, nothing is really left now but memories. It is taking too long, just too long when our competitors are refurbishing or looking for innovative ways to develop their product. Just my two cents.

Well, watch out for the competition coming out of Vietnam. They are going places where Malaysia went a few decades ago.

If by “going places” you mean having a government that meddles non-stop with VN, then sure. 
 

Some people saying GA was going places after its rebirth in the early 2010s and that MH had so much to learn. Look how well that turned out.

One can only wonder what the load was aboard the inaugural flight today 😁

Probably fairly healthy but terrible yields. Inaugurals like this is usually full of journalists and travel agency reps and the like.

Read this in Feb 2020 Going Places:

"This year is all about promoting Malaysia for Visit Malaysia 2020. We have injected more Malaysian elements into our products and services. For one, we have introduced our new boarding music, which has influences of Malay pinai (flute) and gamelan, Indian sitar and the Chinese sounds of the erhu, combined with subtle soothing vocals, giving this piece an undeniable Malaysian feel. This unique composition, developed especially for Malaysia Airlines, was produced by award winning composer Luke Mason.

We will also be featuring favourite Malaysian dishes every month from all 14 states. For example, we have Nasi Hujan Panas, Nasi Ambeng and Ayam Pansuh from Pahang, Johor and Sarawak respectively. These meals will be available on board Business Suite, Business and Economy class. "

Haven't heard of MH boarding song for some time, it's about time Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia and Malindo showcase Malaysia music to the world! Kudos MH!  Also those Malaysians dishes! Can't wait to try them!

I had the Nasi Hujan Panas for my flight from Hanoi to KL yesterday, and I must say it is pretty good. It was served with beef rendang and the meat was tender, and the acar was great. One of the better meals. 

Also noticed that the cabin crew made a special announcement before landing to thank all passengers for flying with Malaysia Airlines and the crew gave a bow - something like what Air Asia did before.
