BC Tam 2 Report post Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) I have to but just take Malindo's scheduling at 'approximate' value only now My upcoming outbound flight has been changed to a later flight in the day (not long after making fun of my sister for her cancelled MYY-KUL booking) my incoming flight was changed to an earlier flight on the day, itself since been rescheduled for earlier in the day I'm just grateful for now I had padded sufficient hours round my schedule before booking It is rather unsettling somehow Edited April 27, 2017 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delay and cancellation are abundant, like AirAsia. Don't they have Qatar Airways as ME interline partner already, why not upgrade them to code sharing as well?

Mohd Firdaus Bolong 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2017 Flying to SZB from KBR this June... can't wait to sample OD's service on this type and route. But SZB route from KBR is known for its notorious delays. Especially of the afternoon flights. Seen 3 OD ATR take off within 10min of each other from KBR to SZB.

I think it's probably the Facebook algorithm noting that you have not been interacting with the Malindo page for some time & thus have put other pages content higher up on your timeline's priority. Looking at their page there had been a steady stream of posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom/PER 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 A couple of interesting tidbits. Batik Air Indonesia are finally starting up DPS-PER-DPS flights in June twice daily using a B739ER. There is a rumour circulating that Malindo are set to commence trans-tasman services potentially from PER to destinations in NZ, using bilateral agreements which are currently in-place, similar to what D7 does from OOL.

Tom/PER 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Neither does -LCM and I can confirm -LCK definitely doesn't either. So that makes it: -LNC, LND, LCK, LCL, LCM and presumably LCP also. -LNC hasn't flown for a at least a month now so I wonder if this is at Batam Aero Technic having PTV screens fitted?? 900ER -LNL is still parked opposite B6 with it's engines covered over and plastic sheeting over several missing fuselage panels on her port-side and doesn't appear to of flown since late April. With recent deliveries there's always appear to be excess OD B737's parked languishing at KL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
