iwan 3 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Just saw the new livery in the papers..kinda like it, reminds me of the heliconia livery they used to have.. but have to agree on MH having too many liveries for different kind of aircrafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandiah k 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 It's similar to Transnasional Express which has many liveries, maybe they have the more the merrier concept Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 I think it isn't a problem for an airline with so many liveries. AirAsia manages it and no one is confused. What is more important is the brand and product consistency. Customers must be able to have the same MH experience, no matter what the livery on the plane is... Perhaps MH should strive for real excellence on the A380. Once it can replicate this on its other services, the livery can then be applied to those aircraft too. Its like rolling down the new premium product from the A380 to the other aircraft... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 "As for our fifth and sixth A380s (which are due for delivery in October this year and February 2013), we have not decided which routes they will be deployed to. Our strategy team is currently crunching the numbers and doing market studies and will decide their flight destinations in a few months," he said. How about KUL-NRT-LAX?

Mike P 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 How about KUL-NRT-LAX? It would be great if they could deploy the jumbo on this route, direct competition with SIA! Yet still, SIA is offering daily services while MH is offering 4 times weekly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 I think it isn't a problem for an airline with so many liveries. AirAsia manages it and no one is confused. Could it be you are blurring the distinction between "so many liveries" as what MH is heading towards, versus those multitude of logojet/one off liveries that Air Asia group is so partial to ? I'm of opinion that corporate branding in visual presentation (distinctive red/white) has been a pillar in success story of the Tune group so far That aside, I do agree that final product offering and consistency is infinitely more important to the fare paying customer than what is painted on outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MH make up your mind : First you say you do And then you don`t And then you say you will And then you won`t You`re undecided now So what are you gonna do?

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 However, the colour scheme and livery of its existing aircraft will remain unchanged for now. Don't forget, MH Short Haul is yet to be unveiled - my interpretation of this is that they are in no hurry to repaint the fleet into the new colours before they've settled down with the Short Haul & Long Haul up and running stable.
