Seth K 3 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) MAS To Show 'Visit Malaysia Year' Logo Across The World SEPANG, July 23 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS), in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Sunday unveiled the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 logo on a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, the first of its fleet to carry it. The aircraft, named "Kuala Lumpur", is scheduled to fly to London at 11.55 Sunday night. The ceremony at the MAS hangar in KL International Airport was witnessed by Minister of Tourism Datuk Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and MAS managing director Idris Jala. Tengku Adnan said a total of 86 MAS aircraft will carry the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 logo. He said MAS will help make the logo visible to over 100 destinations across Europe, China, India, West Asia, United States, Korea, Japan and Australia. "We hope the visibility will create awareness and stimulate interest among airline passengers and other travellers to come and visit Malaysia," he said. He said a roadshow to promote Visit Malaysia Year 2007 is ongoing and all Malaysian tourism officers overseas will also display the logo. "We are expecting 20.1 million tourist arrivals during the year," he said. Jala said MAS would soon announce various programmes to attract more tourists to Malaysia. He said the programmes would include code sharing with other airlines and holiday packages to renowned tourist destinations in southern Europe, Italy and West Asia. -- BERNAMA Edited July 23, 2006 by Seth K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAS doesn't fly to over 100 international destinations. This 100 destinations include all domestic and rural routes; plus codeshare flights operated by Bmi, KLM, Uzbek, Air Mauritius etc which definitely do not see MAS aircrafts anyway.

Seth K 3 Report post Posted July 24, 2006 Logo so small, how we wanna see hah? I think MAS should ask their stewardess to wear uniform while touring in other countries, best way to promote Malaysia/MAS. Just like CO, their stewardess walk around with uniform at NYC to promote EWR/CO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wherease the "big" Visit Malaysia Year 2007 banner (just like previous Visit Malaysia Year 1990 on MAS aircraft) at the back of the a/c will do the rest.

Keno Omar 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2006 He said MAS will help make the logo visible to over 100 destinations across Europe, China, India, West Asia, United States, Korea, Japan and Australia. Europe, China bla bla.... Australia... (all implying international) is just 60 (and declining fast). Including domestic destinations after Aug 1, it's 76. Codeshares don't really mean squat, imagine how many "destinations" would SQ fly to then. 100 destinations across 6 continents is a misleading marketing tagline.
