Mr.Bandit 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 Previously they send A319 to KUL and they said the reason of stopping the route due to unhealthy load. Now this time they are using A321 which I guess is big enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 How many times has PAL resume and then stop KUL flights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izanee 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I think they stopped and restarted twice... finally. I find it strange that KLIA can't even attract airlines from this region like PAL, Qantas and Asiana let alone from other continents. MAHB seem to be more interested in setting up outlet centres and shopping malls than in concentrating on their core business, which is aviation and in making sure KLIA continues to play a role as an important air hub in this region Edited January 15, 2017 by Izanee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 I took PAL in 1983 to MNL and continued to HNL and........can't remember how I end up in Philadelphia. We have photos of PAL B737 in KUL in 2005/2006. There are photos of PAL A319 in KUL in 2013 So looks like they stopped their services here 3 times already. Now I wonder how their 4th try will fare. Anyway even without PAL there has always been flight between KUL and MNL operated by many other airlines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAHB seem to be more interested in setting up outlet centres and shopping malls than in concentrating on their core business, which is aviation and in making sure KLIA continues to play a role as an important air hub in this region To be fair, KLIA and most airports under MAHB management recorded a growth in terms of passenger traffic.It seems they are doing well even without the presence of airlines such as PAL & Qantas. Now, PAL is considering to return back to KLIA, I believe more to follow suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon t 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2017 growth in passenger traffic is more due to the expansion of Air Asia, Air Asia X and Malindo etc. But am surprised to notice that PAL have actually left klia for sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why BA & KL stayed while AF & LH left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They cant do everything alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon t 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2017 so- it meant that MAHB have not done enough to get Foreign carriers to come or return back to klia. Simple. It's the local airlines that pushed the expansion and more frequency to get the pax numbers up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 I give it 12 months maximum...sorry for being sinister.....the route is taken all over by LCC. They have never really marketed this route properly. I am sure they will fail again if they don't work harder to make the route work. Having said that, I think that is is more an LCC route, so Airasia Malaysia and Philippines have the edge.
