KS Ong 1 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 See how Azahan takes his nose pictures These winglets are called Advanced Technology (AT) Winglets that is specially for the 737 MAX. Scimitar Winglets are made by Aviation Partners to retrofit existing 737 NG blended winglets to mimic MAX's AT Winglets. More info can be found here. http://www.b737.org.uk/winglets.htm VIPs went around to have a look at their newly acquisition. Group photos are a must We went back to the function room to have a quick press conference and momento exchange. I was then time to go to our boarding gate G4. Malindo Air staffs gave us goodies bag as a souvenir. We are all ready to board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hon Kit 3 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 Boarding only starts 5 minutes before STD of 1030. VIP were invited to board first , then filling up the front first then only the back. Row 1. Bulk head row with lots of legroom. I quickly took my seat at 8A while the rest are still stuck in traffic. Including the King Spotter. View at the back. Andrea Liong , Head of Communications of Malindo Air introducing herself to all the media onboard. Checking out the seat. As this MAX is configured to complete with Airasia, you get similar view at the back seat. No PTV. Legroom wise, quite spacious. As im 6ft tall, i have no problem crossing my leg. Some collectors item. Our overhead panel , you get aircond vent. Air pressure wasnt strong, can barely feel anything. Cabin wise, you get Boeing SKY Interior. We are almost ready to go. Here's the view outside my window. One of malindo special livery, The 178th aircraft delivered to Lion Air Group. TBC.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
