Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Wonder if MH can 'codeshare' with QF using QF's allocated seats with MH's metal ? For QF - codeshare flights are not counted as part of the capacity count as stated in the Register of Available Capacity. Don't know if it's the same if MH were to codeshare on QF metal. Any ways, the Register is a good read. Thanks to the person who gave the link here, I forgot who it was! http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/international/files/register_available_capacity_230113.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amanairways 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 MH can't bring the A380 to SYD even if they want to because the capacity cap has been reached with D7 now flying to SYD and MH is not going to give up a 2nd daily flight just so that they can fly the A380 there. I saw ( on TV this evening) the air Asia X guy , with the mid Atlantic/ pacific accent , saying that air aia will look into expanding it current offering ESP in key cities like sydney and Melbourne ( IIRC ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) MAS takes 100th A380 delivery tomorrow. Anyone know what time exactly will this aircraft land. I believe 29 March. No, not a joke - the actual flight home is on 28. Tomorrow's event would be the formal change of ownership and then Airbus is going to have a celebration with their staff & AJ might or might not be there to say a few words etc. Edited March 13, 2013 by Mohd Suhaimi Fariz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted March 16, 2013 Looks like Nose-Gear steering faults in icy conditions are becoming common for the A380. I wonder if this incident is a first for the MH A380 fleet? http://www.avherald.com/h?article=45f14508&opt=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Din Hilmi 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2013 I noticed that MH A380 services was delayed frequently since their inception last year due to technical problem I presume. Once (22nd December) I watched an A380 servicing as MH4 was doing rejected take off, rolled back to gate and could see MND towed to the gate to replace that flight. How come a brand new aircraft could suffer a lot of technical problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted March 16, 2013 How come a brand new aircraft could suffer a lot of technical problem? A plane is a highly complex machinery with a lot of parts. Being new doesn't guarantee that it will be free from technical niggles - see the Boeing 787. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike P 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2013 Good thing they have decided not to go ahead with their plan to fly the 388 to NRT! On the contrary, SQ has reduced the A380 flight to SYD and MEL and double daily to NRT, 3 times A380 on SIN - LHR has also been reduced to 2 times daily.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Amazing promo video! Really could bring tears of joy to any avid follower of the A380. One question: From footage of the 1st delivery ceremony to all the 9 operators [from 2:10 until 2:45], why MH's is the least exciting with almost no fanfare at all? This is also well supported with this dedicated microsite, http://www.a380delivery.com/ where MH's info is the most basic (just a link to Airbus' press statement page, no special layout, no videos of the ceremony et. al like the other 8 operators). Why is it so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
