Edwin P K 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Saw the MH A380 at klia for the first time ...... The livery is the weakest design of all the A380s I've seen ..... The design doesn't do justice to aircraft ... In fact it made it look stumpy and small.....the kite on tail looks sad and sorry and disconnected from the rest og the aircraft.....why did MH have to blow ths fantastic chance to change ? I like SQ , AF and LH, even the China Southern design has more presence ! MH , please change the new logo !!! Personally, this is the best looking livery yet, it's elegant, simple and really modern, and it befits the aircraft. I only wish that this direction could translate to the whole MH team. Lean & agile, and not cumbersome. Can't say the same about the interior though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syukri 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Im with Edwin with this one.. Livery looks nice to me.. China southern colour is boring and same with Lufthansa.. But Thai is a bit nicer compared to MH.. This 'nu skool' colour doesnt fit to everyone I guess.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Thai A380 is the best A380 livery, ever. It is a shame that they don't paint the horizontal stabilizers and rudders in purple anymore! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I particularly like the round shape when the two side joined with each other.... kinda of remind me with one of those aircraft from Star Trex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin P K 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Try a dummy booking on flights to LHR, they now show all MH1, MH2, MH3, MH4 operated with A380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Double A380 flights to LHR now confirmed. Yes, I did a booking engine check for Dec 2012 and all flights are A380 flights. I wonder if this change is seasonal, since December is super peak in the European season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johan Z 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Daily A380 to CDG? That's new. So far MH have announced LHR, PEK, NRT, SYD and MEL. I wonder which route will they drop from their plan to operate A380 to CDG. Edited October 5, 2012 by Johan Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Malaysia Airlines Introduces Double Daily A380 Service To London KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will introduce double daily Airbus A380 flights from Kuala Lumpur to London from Nov 24. The A380 flight's weekly seat capacity will increase by 16 per cent, from 5,971 to 6,916 for each direction. The double daily service will be inaugurated after the national carrier receives another two of the six A380s by end-October. Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the A380 operations on the Kuala Lumpur to London route, started from July 1 this year and the customer response had been encouraging. "The introduction of the latest 5-Star product standards on the A380 was also complemented by Skytrax, United Kingdom, renewing our 5-Star Airline status. "Encouraged by the success of our current daily A380 operations on this route, we have decided to replace the existing B747 daily flights, with the A380 to make it a double daily on the superjumbo," he said in a statement today. The national carrier will also commence daily A380 operations for Kuala Lumpur-Paris-Kuala Lumpur, effective March 1 next year, to replace the current B777 daily services on this route.

Kenn Leong 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 I'm surprised they are using the A380 for CDG instead of SYD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrazmoor 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) ^^ maybe one of the way they show middle finger to QANTAS for their tie up with EK?? hahaa. So, if double daily for KUL-LHR and daily KUL-CDG-KUL, we will not see any A380 service for Oz route. Even NRT get axe as well. IMO, MH definately need to buy 3 or 4 more of A380 Edited October 5, 2012 by nrazmoor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Actually, 5 A380-800 are enough for double daily LHR service and one daily CDG service with the sixth frame as a spare. The spare 388 can be used for intra Asia route such as HKG or PVG but that's probably it. It's safe to say that Australia and Japan won't see MAS 388 should they stick to this new plan.
