I wonder what aircraft are they using?

 

 

If the flight is from KUL,its almost certain its an A320.There are no more B733 in KUL or JHB.In fact about 3 years ago,we used to do charters to Guilin on the B733.Its within range for B733 and its almost certain within the range of A320.Ive flown before to Nanning,Guilin and Haikou when AXM/AK used to do charters with the B733.Even before that,used to do charters to Subic Bay,flight was at night,arrival at Subic Bay around 12 midnight and arrival back at KUL in wee hours around 0430H.Infact I did the last charter for AXM/AK to Subic Bay before they switched to Clark Field for scheduled flights.

Kuala Lumpur - Balikpapan

Kuala Lumpur - Batam

 

Wow! Another one that I have been predicted (KUL-BPN) comes true.

Emm at least AK give us a good news and provide us more opportunity to fly around our SEA neighbor country with reasonable fare..

 

As i believe what make AK still survive with this LCC business model just because it really low cost and givw passenger low fare but AK still left behind in thier services..

 

The main thing that I would to know is..What make AK inspire to keep explore new route within this region with uncertain current economy situation?It really high demand on passenger on unpopular route?Don't say it just because AK need to so because they receive lots of A320 and don't want the plane under utilize just park at the airport apron..

 

Other thing is,Malaysia AK keep make profit from their business but unfortunate with Thai AirAsia..why?may be it not direct under Dato TF management kot..
