Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Super KS for this rare photo of the B734 PIC (BL) VN-A189 outside of Vietnam. Dunno it's at SZB for maintenance then back to SGN for Tet (CNY) flights or it's been returned to the lessor. Jetstar Pacific has announced that its fleet is fully converted to A320s.

KS Ong, that's some awesome photo you have there, especially Golden Myanmar Airlines. As fpor Jetstar Pacific, they are phasing all B737 fleet. VN-A189, most probably is being prepared to return to lessor. It may follow her fellow sisters to Kemble to be scrapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Myanmar poised for more rapid growth in 2013 as foreign carriers expand and local LCC launches http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/myanmar-poised-for-more-rapid-growth-in-2013-as-foreign-carriers-expand-and-local-lcc-launches-93666 Myanmar’s first home-grown LCC plans large operation at Mandalay Myanmar’s newest airline and first low-cost carrier, Golden Myanmar Airlines, is also targeting international routes from Mandalay. Golden Myanmar plans to launch in 1Q2013, possibly by the end of Jan-2013, with domestic services between Yangon and Mandalay. But the start-up aims to become the second local carrier competing in the international market. Currently the country’s other six carriers only operate domestically. Golden Myanmar’s business plan envisions operating A320s on several international routes from Mandalay, including to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. It also plans to operate international routes to Southeast Asian destinations from Yangon. The new company is headquartered in Yangon but plans to base and overnight its aircraft at Mandalay. This plan is partly driven by congestion at Yangon, where there is a lack of overnight parking spots to accommodate additional aircraft, but also because it sees opportunities in the Mandalay market. Golden Myanmar plans to rotate its A320s through Yangon, where there is currently only four air bridges and six remote stands, during less congested hours. For its Yangon international routes, it plans to originate and terminate the flights in less congested Mandalay, where there is ample capacity. The Yangon airport is expected to be upgraded as an interim measure while a new airport is constructed. But until the new airport opens, which is not expected until at least 2016, the country’s existing carriers and the foreign carriers already serving Yangon will likely have an advantage over any potential new entrant in securing additional gates or parking spots. There is plenty of space at Mandalay, where there is as much capacity as Yangon despite handling one fifth the amount of traffic. A third international airport also opened in late 2011 at Naypyidaw, Myanmar’s new capital city, but there is not yet sufficient demand to support international services as the city is still very small. Golden Myanmar’s business plan envisions launching with two A320s in single-class 180-seat configuration and adding one additional A320 every six months. The proposed carrier has big ambitions and is confident it can stimulate local demand by offering low fares. But its impact on the market could ultimately hinge on its ability to attract investment from a foreign LCC group. While Golden Myanmar is prepared to launch services without a partnership (or investment) from a foreign LCC, a tie-up would clearly help the start-up in the international market. As Myanmar (particularly Mandalay) is primarily an inbound market, having a tie-up with an established Asian LCC could be critical. If Golden Myanmar is willing to adopt the brand of an established Southeast Asian LCC and embrace a more comprehensive partnership, assuming Myanmar authorities would allow such an arrangement, it would have a significantly higher chance of success.

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) bad weather? If it arrived around noon on the 30th it might be due to the immense traffic going into KUL. Runway switched for some reason from 32 to 14 causing lots of congestion while they are trying to reroute everyone. I was coming from LGK where were told to hold until further notice. Thankfully we had a little bit of extra fuel to play with, turned out we spend 20 minutes in the hold before proceeding for 14L.
