Mike P 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Would it because of aircraft deployment? But again, SQ is using A380 to connect from Aus to Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff.leo 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Yields on the kangaroo route aren't what they are 5 to 10 years back. Of the South East Asian carriers, only the fittest of them all - Singapore Airlines, has been able to hold up to to the Middle Eastern guys. MAS can only rely on it's own feeder network (which has shrunk considerably) and KLM. Singapore Airlines' footprint in Europe is nowhere near that of the ME Big 3. But it still has a sizeable network there. And on any given flight between Singapore to Australia / NZ, you easily have 5 to 6 codeshare partners on top of the SQ number. Coupled with Silkair, it's regional footprint for feeder services is vastly superior to the other South East Asian carriers. The Singapore - Australia / NZ vv O&D market is bigger and higher yielding than the Malaysian market. And to top it off, a very very strong brand and reputation in Australia and New Zealand. MAS and the rest have merely been taking the scrapes from this market for a number of years now. It's akin to SQ taking all the meat and leaving MH, TG and the rest to take the leftovers.

flee 5 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 Sounds like he is no longer in charge as higher powers may be blocking his initiatives. Could it be related to the rebranding of the airline? It is taking forever and we have not seen much of the rebranding initiatives to date. He might have resigned because he is no longer capable of performing his job due to outside interference.

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 No, don't appoint Emirsyah Satar, he was the one who over expanded GA and is taking toll on GA. Good that CM is leaving, we can close down MH asap. I have no sympathy for this pathetic airline. Save my pension fund money and tax. If can be, please close tomorrow. I don't give two hoots about the staff livelihood too.
