flee 5 Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Why does it needs to go to Paya Lebar first? Security checks before going to USA? Maybe it returns to the lessor's home or MRO base for checking that everything is in order. This morning, 9M-MRG left KUL for QPG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amirul Mazlan 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2015 Im well aware that 772 have more range than A330 but since they shift their focus to medium haul now, more A330 needed to replace outgoing 772 of which lately have been deployed to medium haul route, bar Amsterdam.

flee 5 Report post Posted October 30, 2015 With the ALC order for 4X A350-900s for their LHR services, a logical move would be to deploy the A330-900neo to CDG and AMS, should MH decide to soldier on with these routes. I suspect MH will only carry on either CDG or AMS as it has an option to lease 2X A330-900 neo from ALC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
