Waiping 12 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 The orange color of Firefly might be very striking and if both sits together on the tarmac may look really nice! Now if only they could release the models as soon as both colors are available on the plane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 In the papers that I read, MH will fly their innagural ATR on the SBW-BKI route...I dont think it is going to be in August as reported by the papers...crew have not been certified...Originally, MASwings planned the innagural flights to coincide with the launch of the new uniform for the Cabin Crew...so far its been really quiet...

Loh Wilson 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Firefly set to fly ATR aircraft FIREFLY will phase out its three Fokker-50 aircraft from October and replace them with five 72-seater ATR planes. Firefly Penang hub manager Audrey Yu said the ATR aircraft would begin operation on Sept 1 and the first ATR 72-500 series plane would arrive in the middle of this month. “We are targeting to have five ATR planes by December, followed by another five next year and 10 more in 2010,” Yu said. It was reported in The Star that Firefly and MASwings, both Malaysia Airlines subsidiaries, signed a deal with ATR at the Lima exhibition last year to buy 20 of planes in a deal worth US$650mil (RM2.2bil). Meanwhile, Firefly is also offering new routes beginning Oct 26. Yu said Firefly would fly the Penang-Bandar Acheh route four times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) and operate a daily flight between Penang and Medan. “There would also be daily flights for the Subang-Johor Baru and Subang-Pekan Baru (Indonesia) routes. Another new route for Subang to Koh Samui (Thailand) will be on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday,” she said. Yu was speaking to newsmen during a tea break at the Malaysia Airlines product enhancement briefing for partners held in Cititel, George Town, on Thursday. About 200 representatives from travel agents, federal and state government agencies, chambers of commerce, hoteliers, freight operators from the Penang Free Trade Zone and corporate travel clients attended the event. Malaysia Airlines Executive Enrich R. Thangamalar said the airline was currently offering a 50% discount on domestic flights for students aged 12 to 25. “Students must get a letter from the school authority to prove them as students and submit the letter with two passport-sized photos to us. “They are also entitled for discounts at selected international destinations,” she said. For details, log on to www.fireflyz.com.my or www.malaysiaairlines.com or contact call centre at 1300-88-3000. I booked the earliest flight SZB-PEN on the 1st of September, do you think I stand a chance on a ride for the inaugural flight ?
