Re: China Airlines (CAL) at JFK, 1992-1993

Does anyone know or recall what the flight schedules were? A 747 (I think a -400) is briefly shown taxiing but looks to be stock footage. Anyway, curious if by 1993, this was a non stop TPE-JFK service or if it went by ANC or another US city (or NRT?) Anyone know? Thanks. The routing was indeed TPE...

Re: Malaysia Airlines Announces Codeshare Agreement With British Airways (Finally...)

Think they leased a 747400 from MH for a short period in the mid 90's to operate as they didn't have enough 747400's on line at the time. 1995 comes to mind - as my flat mate was crew for VS and got sick down route in KUL. Sure someone can update us with more detail of VS service. I don't think VS ...

Re: Did Malaysia Airlines fly to Mexico, Argentina, Canada & USA in its heyday!?

Northwest planned on starting a 3 weekly SEA-KIX-KUL-CGK using the DC-10 (start date was planned to be 7/1/1996) but for some reason it fell through and was replaced by NW68/69 DTW-KIX-KUL, a 3 weekly 747-400. The KIX-KUL tag-on was discontinued in May 2001, can't pin down the exact date. Northwest...

Re: Did Malaysia Airlines fly to Mexico, Argentina, Canada & USA in its heyday!?

I don't recall there being a Taiwanese issue with traffic rights on the KUL- TPE sector for a flight continuing to YVR... Sounds odd. MH did not have traffic rights TPE-YVR but depended on codeshare partner CP to fill up that sector. Once the codeshare was terminated when CP merged with AC, it no l...

Re: Garuda shutter LHR

Agreed; then I'd upguage to a bigger 772. BA shifting from a B789 to B772 wouldn't be much of an up-gauge, but a change of the product mix. The BA B739 has a 8/42/39/127 configuration (total 216 pax). BA's B772's with the first class cabin are 14/48/40/124 (total 226) or 12/48/32/127 (total 219), s...
