Isaac 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 Wow BR 744 for KUL, compared with CI A3B6 for TPE-KUL since old days in Subang. Speaking of CI AB6, most of its destinations are now serviced by the brand new 333, any idea when CI will deploy the 333 to KUL ? And any chance BR will make the TPE/KUL back to daily again ? Ex-airline served Jatayu Airlines Philippine Airlines Canadian Airlines I thought PR just relaunced KUL not so long ago ?? When did they stop flying into KUL again ? I saw their 733 parking at the Satellite terminal few months ago. i really miss the time when Northwest Airlines serve KUL. Yeah, me too. The 1st and also last time i ever saw their D10 was a few days after 911. Parked near the main terminal building. MU have withdrawn from the route KUL-PVGvv.The website have not shown any schedules of MU on this route.MH have dominated the KUL-PVGvv route.Any confirmation,please? The MU KUL/PVG sector is still on with the flight schedule as follows : 航班号 出发机场[时间] 到达机场[时间] 机型 经停 班期 生效日期 失效日期 MU539 上海浦东 [1840] 吉隆坡 [2340] 320 0 __3_5__ 20060419 20061027 回程/吉隆坡-上海浦东/20060421: 航班号 出发机场[时间] 到达机场[时间] 机型 经停 班期 生效日期 失效日期 MU540 吉隆坡 [0130] 上海浦东 [0630] 320 0 ___4_6_ 20060415 20061028 I really don't know how they can compete with MAS which operates double daily 772 on this route. If we are lucky, perhaps even QATAR, SIA and LUFTHANSA occassionaly, who knows, peak seasons are always full of surprises. I don't think we'll see QR sending their 380 to KUL in the next 10 years. When they ordered the 332/333 QR said one of the 1st destinations to get the brand new 332 service is KUL but it's been 3 years plus now and we still get the old AB6 while many other new cities get the 332 or 333.

Izanee 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 hahaha ..EK is so full of s++t... they said that they'd operate 380 to KUL in the near future...but they can't even fly 8 x weekly with 772... other places like BKK and SIN get 773ER.... twice daily as a minimum. don't see that happening soon.. Qatar airways is another hypocritical airline. KUL was one of their first destinations in SEA...but we are the last to get 332/333s.... not one of the last few....but LAST! LH....forget it. we're lucky if they can maintain 4xweekly 744 flights. MH is probably all we'll see for a while. i've given up hoping... its been almost 20 years but nothing has changed. we are still waaaaaaay behind SIN, our nearest competitor. at least 10-20 years back, we still had a variety of european airlines flying to KUL. now we get shitty little airlines like riau etc etc. wow. well done MAB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It probably hasnt occured to you but perhaps the loads into KUL dont warrant such heavy usage of that aircraft. As we've previously discussed on the forums, traffic in terms of volume going into BKK and SIN is much greater than that into KUL, thus EK (being the smart one..) cashes in on that by using aircrafts which enable them to carry as many pax as possible on those routes. Once the demand for KUL increases, you will definitely see the extra 777's plying the route. I dont doubt their intentions of operating the A380 into KUL in the future. You want a fairy tale, MAS operating the 747 into Dubai during peak periods. Cant even fill up an A330... <_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wooahh there guys.. relax ok.. EK to KUL is indeed very plausible, should they ever decide to use KL as a stop to Australia, as they do now with SIN and BKK. However, the problem is granting of fifth freedom rights between KUL and Australia, as the Malaysian Government protects MAS, with the exception of Lauda air. There was plenty of rumour that EK would commence its second daily service to Perth Via KUL. Also they intend to have a daily ADL service also rumoured to be via KUL. The market is there, its just that to operate cost-effectively, the playing field needs to be levelled, and MAS should compete on equal terms... of course, I can only foresee this happening if MAS handles its restructuring exercise well.

Kee Hooi Yen 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) I think the government only realised we are far behind BKK & SIN in 90s, and the importance of building KUL as a main hub for foreign airlines. We once have the biggest airport in the region in the 70s (Subang) but we have lost the oppurtunity to attract new airliners or even maintain the airlines that serves KUL particularly during 1980s. When the government wanted to develop KUL as a main hub in the region in late 90s, it was just too late and we were too far behind BKK & SIN as most of the airlines have already established their hub in these airports, and many passengers use to transit there because of more connections as well as frequencies. My opinion is that the government is somehow acts a bit slow.... We are at least 20 years behind them... Edited April 21, 2006 by Kee Hooi Yen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2006 However, the problem is granting of fifth freedom rights between KUL and Australia, as the Malaysian Government protects MAS, with the exception of Lauda air. Wow ? Is this really the problem ? I always thought it's very easy to get 5th freedom rights in KUL, just like BKK (go and count how many airlines have 5th freedom rights in Don Muang). There was plenty of rumour that EK would commence its second daily service to Perth Via KUL. Also they intend to have a daily ADL service also rumoured to be via KUL. It seems to me that EK prefers either SIN or BKK and same with QR (the planned MEL flight, 2x daily into BKK now with the brand new 332). May be EY ......

Isaac 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2006 By the way, i just checked the CI flight schedules. Most cities are now served by the brand new 333 (36J & 277EY) : -BKK -DPS -DEL -FUK -HKG (still got 2x daily AB6 on certain days) -CGK -NGO -NRT (on certain days only, with 3x daily 744 service) -SIN -SGN (still get AB6 service on certain days, daily 333 flight) I think we'll get the CI 333 here this summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why shouldn't they? EK will most probably be operating the high-density config A380 on the KUL route. With that in effect, they could fill up the aircraft with 2 772 loads. Thus, they will both have the extra equipment to operate elsewhere whilst still cutting costs. EK logic its called... so take it easy! You want me to take it easy? Look at your past replies.
