No plans to fly to any other European destinations when I asked CEO Captain Izham on Thursday :) He did hint that a third London flight would be possible somewhere down the line. Any additional A350s would be used to uplift Aussie routes and also as additional capacity whilst the existing fleet is ...

Jump to postStill can’t believe MH can’t make BNE-KUL work. Etihad is another. Etihad couldn't make PER-AUH work either. MH is an interesting case, considering the rumours that they may consider returning to BNE-KUL on a 737-8 MAX across the wider social media community. Finally, whilst I'm not sure where curr...
Jump to postGiven the majority of media coverage on Malaysia Airlines seems mostly negative - thought this was worth sharing..

I wonder if QF will retaliate with their own Australia-TLV flight...? Code sharing and operating their own service are 2 different things. Qantas won't want to offend Malaysia and Indonesia among other countries, so will only ever code share. Also, there isn't really a huge market for 2 carriers on...
Jump to postFor what it’s worth - I recently booked very cheap J tickets KUL-SIN-LHR for travel later this year on BA11/BA12.. with MH for the shuttle service… shame to not be able to fly direct but the fare was about half of what I would have paid just to travel on the SIN-LHR legs return!
Jump to postAs we are discussing 3K… has there been any update on CAAS (Changi) moving 3K from T1 to T4 at SIN which negates any reasonable connections for JQ/QF? It would be a massive shame as I use 3K very regularly to connect up to KUL from QF - and on most 3K flights between KL and SIN I,be often noticed th...
Jump to postI expect the A330-200s will be the first to leave as they were always a ‘temporary fix’ IIRC… with no chillers in the galleys etc and the different galley in general. I am also hoping this order might expand the a330 fleet over time to enable an expansion to MH’s network over the next few years.. (r...

Jump to postWhile awaiting news on MH's widebody replacement announcement, they have meanwhile announced the refurbishment of the 737 fleet cabin.

Jump to postThere is a sales campaign with China Airlines at the moment, and i´ve heard rumors that Malysian and Hainan will order A330neo. And Sunclass will get A339 from Air Lease.

The A359 has never been regularly scheduled to AKL except in the current pandemic - 1-2x per week; yet AKL is the second longest route in their system.

Jump to postOn another (but interesting) note - Qantas also operated the first ever Boeing 747 to land in Malaysia on 1st April 1972 - arriving Kuala Lumpur from Sydney via Singapore
Jump to postQantas also operated some London flights via KUL up until 1983 or 1984.. think it flew via BOM or BAH.
I believe on occasion this service also routed via Damascus around 1979/1980
And the issue is..?
It's the same routing as SQ318 currently following behind it..
