Rozhan 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks for the confirmation Fairizuan. I hope MH 1430 this Friday 24 Feb to LGK will be on the B738. A joyride just for a flight on the B738. Will be very upset if its a different a/c...even if its an A330 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 *%^& MAS changed the aircraft to the very boring A332 tomorrow morning  But there's still until 24 March for the ride, based on the schedules...unless MAS changes the aircraft at the 11th hour yet again. I may make one final attempt next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 Thanks for the schedules Fairizuan. I'm eyeing for the 20th March which is just after the school holidays but undecided yet to try one more time. It will be utter disappointment should it be changed again. A steward I met on the LGK-PEN sector on Saturday said that there are some 'problems' with the planes and AOG at times. If such is the case, I think I have more confidence on MH's own B734s, despite their age. Â And good for all of you for the pay increments and bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth K 3 Report post Posted March 15, 2006 Read somewhere that MAS loooking forward to return all wet-leased B738s back to Travel Service by the end of this month. So spotters, go get them before they gone for good. Â Sad news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 The penalties will be far less than the cost of leasing them both for the next 12months. With demand for 737NG's now-a-days it won't be long before Travel Service place both a/c with other operators, if not incorporate them back into their own.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 if not incorporate them back into their own. Â Indeed, the busy European Summer schedule is just a little time off to start...and, the Czechs are earning more and more Koruna's, so might need these -800's back soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M N Fairizuan 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 It's confirmed no B738 in April... BUT will return in service with MAS in October. Apparently, they need the a/c for summer charter flight not otherwise. Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M N Fairizuan 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Not sure la Min Chun. Anyway, they don't have the "right" a/c for XIY/AMD at the moment. No penalties but extra cash by " "leasing" back the leased a/c" for czech summer charter flights. Â I think the last B73Q/738 flight was few days ago KUL-XIY.... on 24 Mac. XIY-KUL 28 Mac on 332. So I think they gone already. Edited March 27, 2006 by M N Fairizuan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken K. Kour 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 i believe i saw TVD/TVC without the tail logo outside hte MAS hangar in KLIA, i was on the TWU-KUL flight and i believe i saw those blended winglets outside the hangar, i could be wrong though. Also saw MPD/MPB in the hangar. Â Also, a eurowhite 742 outside the MasKargo area, anyidea? Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M N Fairizuan 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 TVC & TVD together with personnel from Travel Service went home to PRG on 1st April 2006 and will be there until 15th October 2006. Â As the wet lease contract will only expire in April 2007, Aircraft Trading is currently exploring various possible options for the period between 15th Oct 2006 and April 2007 that may include having the aircraft back here, should it be viable.
