My experience, not bad. I feel like trying KUL DPS BNE with them. But from what I've heard, load on this route isn't that healthy. 7 POB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobK 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) What's wrong with painting at engine cowlings? not complete one. All the Max frames are having their cowlings removed and repainted as there is an issue with the paint quality. Moving on, Malindo's 2nd Max is now painted and flew today wearing 9M-LRD. Tyke has a pic on his blog site (due credit) : https://tykesaeroblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/batik-air-malaysia-9m-lrd-first-pic.html And Malindo #3 flew today, but still unpainted : https://tykesaeroblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/batik-air-malaysia-737-8-9m-lre-pic.html Note that this one is going to Malindo and not Lion Air nor Thai Lion Air as reported on other websites. Lion Air's first -8 Max was snapped today too, being moved from the west stalls at Renton into the back compound : https://tykesaeroblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/lion-air-737-8-max-pk-first-pic.html Edited May 1, 2017 by RobK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why the winglet logo is of Lion instead of Batik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobK 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2017 I wonder why the winglet logo is of Lion instead of Batik. Probably because it was originally due to go to Lion Air and the winglets had already been painted. Lion Group are known for swapping them around at the late stages of production. The yellow rudder is the base colour for Batik Malaysia before the pattern 'wrap' is applied over the top. It's also flying with a Malaysian hex code as well, fyi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2017 The inflight magazine lists the MAX has a capacity of 180 single class. Are they phasing out business class? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanjay Thaker 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 The inflight magazine lists the MAX has a capacity of 180 single class. Are they phasing out business class? As these frames were originally destined for Lion Thai, they will feature a single class configuration for now. No news yet if a retrofit is planned in future.
