Azfar 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 erm....why they dont have PTV in A330?.....just B747 and B777..(off topic).. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 PTVs do not come cheap and it will be a huge investment for MAS. MAS owns about 15 A330-300s and a couple of leased ones. All the A330-300s do not have PTVs, whereas the A330-200s do because previous owners had them installed. A330s aren't MAS' flagship aircraft and there is a question regarding the need of PTVs for a short flight. Airbus A330-300s are mostly utilised on regional routes. The entertainment system altogether will cost MAS a lot of money. Same with the B737-400s if they put overhead screens on it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the A330-300s do not have PTVs, whereas the A330-200s do because previous owners had them installed. I think it is more like the below: MAS "owns" 9 A330-300s. The rest - 2 A333 and 5 A332 are leased in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Sure it is better for MAS to have PTVs installed on A330-300s. But.....the cost factor counts. Cathay has PTVs installed on their A330-343x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TW Teo 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 As long MH maintains their good service, PTVs are not really essential... there's always the window Heck survived >12 hours flight on KLM middle seat before (nope, no PTVs)... so.. it's not so bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the only channel available was the flight track channel. I suppose MH would be the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 I flew MH07 from Penang to KL . Some seats had the PTV on with full functionality . Some only had the map with the moving aircraft ... and some were off ... I flew 777 to KCH ... PTV had almost full functionality . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
