jani 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 It's about being efficient, not changing MAS' business model to become like Ryanair's. I would say it's a great appointment. I just hope more Malaysians themselves are given opportunities to shine as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are finalising the schedule for newco.HKG 772 guna 11 cabin crew sebab meal tray. DPS 772 guna 10 cabin crew saja sebab snackbox. But now kalau ada 9 crew on 772 for normal for MH.

By 1 August 2015, all 4 daily flights to HKG will be on B738. Oy vey. This against CX 3-4 times daily on A333/B777 with 1-2 times on the 3-cabin A333/B77W (this is supposedly a hub to hub flight for MH and CX!). This has already been loaded into the GDS - 4 daily B738.

leon t 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2015 Given a choice, who would like to fly a tight 738 to HKG than a on a wide bodied aircraft. Luckily CX still offers few daily flights to HKG on their A333s/777s. It's interesting that MH cant even fill up a A333 when CX can still operate up to 3 daily.

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 IIRC, when the MH A380 was on this route it was not full either. Most of the time it was less than half full. MH quickly pulled the dugong out. CX offers many connecting flight to North America hence they can make use of the 4 x daily flight, all at detrimental effect on MH since they do not have any flight to the USA. Side note, MH pax can also connect thru AA thru Tokyo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 I would say MH flights to US are generally more expensive than CX. And they were still losing money! That is why newco needs to cut their costs drastically. Otherwise, they won't be able to compete with anyone without taxpayer subsidy or/and government protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
