Ex-MYY wise, I saw PEN, TGG and KBR as new additions; but nothing inside the booking engine yet; wander its' fly through services or they gonna make 3 new routes in one shot! Anyway good move if direct flights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike P 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 AK has opened KCH-LGK route. I wonder if MYY would be the new hub as AK has also opened MYY-PEN and MYY-TGG route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if MYY would be the new hub as AK has also opened MYY-PEN and MYY-TGG route.They are capitalising on the Bruneians. Judging by the number of Brunei cars parking overnight at MYY, a lot of them use MYY to fly out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 AK has opened KCH-LGK route. I wonder if MYY would be the new hub as AK has also opened MYY-PEN and MYY-TGG route. I remember TF praising MYY for their LCC friendly charges and airport tax. So AK is going to promote MYY. It would not be surprising if we see more destinations being added to MYY in future.

Timothy 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 BTU - SIN please ! Only recently has MH added a 1910 flight to KUL for us, arriving 2100-ish. Perfect for connecting flights to Europe (Oil & Gas industry) rather than flying on the 1330 BTU-KUL flight. Haven 't seen this flight less than 70% before, so must be pretty popular. Nothing beats connectivity & comfort at SIN though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 Does the airport tax in KCH is higher than MYY? Isn't all airport tax for domestic flights (except at KUL) fixed at RM 9? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Does the airport tax in KCH is higher than MYY? Isn't all airport tax for domestic flights (except at KUL) fixed at RM 9? I think BKI T2 also has the same airport tax as KUL LCCT. His exact words: Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandesDec 31 Miri has low airport tax and we have taken a risk and started two international routes. We want to invest in Malacca and Langkawi. Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandesDec 31 Help tourism in Malacca and Langkawi. Create jobs. We all need to be Innovative. No point building airports and leaving them empty. Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandesDec 31 We as a nation need to be smart innovative and put differences aside. Put people first. Airasia cam do a lot but we need support as well. Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandesDec 31 Senai airport has been amazing. And look at the results. Kk terminal two huge success. Because of low airport tax. Kuching a failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah...like his purposely Singapore AirAsia would be based at the low-tax airport if it is ever materialized! I think SIN is a different airport altogether - airlines need SIN and not the other way round. In the case of airports that are marginal or have low traffic, cost (and consequently, the air fares) can make the difference between success or failure of routes.
