Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 The MH schedules suggest that the A380s will stop servicing the HKG routes from 17Feb14, replaced by 772s. Didn't see the aircraft deployed elsewhere. Scheduled permanent wing repairs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mulyadir Fitri 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Smalam MH21 terbang tak top up air. Hahahaha. Baru suku perjalanan air dah abis dlm jamban. Hahahaha hahahahaha. I know it's the job of the mx crew to top up the water. But the water status should be on the cabin crew's checklist upon getting onboard no? I always see the water status indicator on the screen at the cabin crew station when they are going through the PA announcement/dimming the lights etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 These last couple of days the A380 services to LHR and HKG was thrown off schedule due to an A380 going tech. What actually happened? I thought MH has a surplus single A380 but maybe not as the HKG service was sub by a 772...and the LHR service delayed by as long as 11 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Time for MAS to invest in few more A380?? Hong Kong Airlines, Kingfisher and Virgin Atlantic slots are wide open. Lufthansa had cancelled order for two more. AF-KLM is also considering cancelling their two more A380s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now timed to depart tonight at 23.35 as MH2D. The return flight from LHR (MH3) is obviously also delayed. Hope it doesn't happen again tonight, I'm on MH2 today.

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 So there will be MH002D departing @23:30 and MH002 departing @23:55 ? Presumably both arriving about same time into LHR too ? Amazing they are able to have slots and gates available there to accomodate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it stems from poor english? The passengers ground handling procedures including long delays are well documented. The processes introduced in MAS are compatible with other operators, however, the implementation is much desired. The biggest handicap is lackadaisical attitude shown by employees and management team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 I was on the MH2 flight that turned back! Currently waiting in the lounge again for MH2D! That report is exactly what happened. The staff i would say did an adequate job but i believe more could be done. We had to wait in the flight for a while before we disembarked. I think First and Economy passengers were fully informed as they were briefed when they disembarked at the gate as they were held there but business passengers were told to go straight to the regional lounge and we waited there for a long time with no updates until 7am until they said we were put up at the Putrajaya Marriot hotel. They informed us that baggage would be off loaded but in the end that didn't happen and most of us that don't have a change of clothes are still wearing the same stuff. MAS did provide us breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
