Adrian M 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Could be as it's business competition. Same business model vs Same business model is not a good chemistry. Good for pax though as more people will see routes with RM0.99 one way more frequently than now. Hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 just slightly off topic here , But I must say that Ryanair has some truly great minds behind it . I like the way they have put the safety card behind the seat so that whether you like it or not , somehow you will at least glance at it or lets say if the flight is kinda lengthy and boring , it could be some good reading material compared to other airlines when its in the seat pocket , some people couldn't even be bothered , other than those who collect safety cards of course .. Sorry for the off topicness Anyhow , competition between airlines is good because at the end of the day the passengers benefit the most just like what we see now in Celular Network Providers here in Malaysia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 They will be more than welcomed to come and set base at KUL because we have an LCC terminal that is only serving ONE airline , no harm in them invading KUL LCCT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zealich 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 agree with Gavin. I would like to have more plane watch in LCC rather that all red in LCC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 At the moment it isn't a LCC and it should be called Air Asia Terminal because thats its only purpose .. I'm still wondering why the government even TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION that they should build an LCCT if there's only going to be one airline to make use of it .

Seth K 3 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Pride and ego. To be the one who starts or similars... Stand right behind you MTB is deserted, arrive at noon, I see no plane park at any gate upon entering the terminal in the train. What's the purpose of spending hundreds million ringgit on something if it's not fully use? But still, I do believe the LCC need bigger and bigger expansion when AK receive all bus and Asian LCC/RyanAir start flying Off topic note: The forum seems to be very slow now.

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 RyanAir's invasion would mean good news to Azahan and the gang. More airlines to Spot! Ryanair have made themselves a reputation in Europe, promising good prices in return but i saw the RyanAir video few months ago on their backroom operations and i'm not too keen already. SeatBack safety cards, unshadable windows all the unique stuff they came out of to save cost. Very brilliant indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still wondering why the government even TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION that they should build an LCCT if there's only going to be one airline to make use of it . hehehe PRIDE! Don't forget our lion mermaid neighbours to the south that have a couple of 'Tigers' sitting at their new 'Budget' terminal which in the future will be cited next to the 'Commercially Important Persons (CIP) terminal'. AirAsia... good lah, at least they doing it right. Ryannair.. it could work... but my sentiments is that any such venture would be done with existing investments in the Asia-Pacific region... i.e. That Tiger airline from south that hasn't turned a profit as yet. Don't forget that Ryannair founders had a thing or two to do with the establishment of Tiger Aiirways... We've heard rumour of Tiger Airways wanting to operate domestically within Malaysia (because after a long and exhausting study, it just wasnt feasible to have a 4 times daily service between Paya Lebar and Changi hehehe sorry lahhh I had to mention it somewhere ) So if Ryanair wants to come into Malaysia and the asian LCC scene... a mutual collaboration between them and Tiger would probably see a new airline (probably by the name of Tiger Malaysia) applying for AOC to the DCA... but don't fret lah.. our DCA also pandai you know! they will wait for the CAAS to approve the pending AOC by AirAsia Singapore (yes, such a company does exist), and then! level playing field lah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
