Malaysia Airlines Turnaround Plan 2011/2012

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) cut as many as 12% of their routes in order to cut operation costs. I think MAS can maintain their Kuala Lumpur - Rome route with twice weekly instead trice weekly. Singapore Airlines (SIA) operate Singapore - Rome twice weekly with 777-300 but with a better products offering compared with MAS.

Furthermore, MAS should think to replace the existing aircraft which have high in maintenance costs and high fuel consumption. Malaysia Airlines should buy at least 3 Boeing 747-8 which will be used to Amsterdam, Sydney, Tokyo and New Delhi routes together with 6 A380s that will be operated to London, Amsterdam and Sydney routes. As far as I can see Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles via Taipei has shown good load factor and almost 100% load factor. Maybe MAS should think to increase to 4 times weekly instead of 3 times weekly.

The existing aircraft should refurbish in line with other airlines starting with MAS' Boeing 777-200 as a kick start for turnaround plan. Based on survey I conducted, most of the people fly with other airlines because of in-flight services or products.

My suggestion:
4x A380 use in London route
1x A380 and 1x 747-8 use in Amsterdam route
1x A380 and 1x 747-8 use in Sydney route
1x 747-8 use in Tokyo and Delhi

Fashion Style or Fashion Disaster????

Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 was held is Marriott, Putrajaya, Malaysia. This lady has won "The Best Fashion Blog" during the awards ceremony but she is not fashionable in my sense. Im considered her as fashion disaster. Nobody wearing that kind of dresses or fashion style during formal event. Click at the images to enlarge the pictures.


Look at her punching hand! I believe in Malaysia we called as "Kampung girl". She couldnt go that far. THe fashion is not accepted in the world as general.

MAS Didn't Take This Opportunity To Market Their Brands

October 29, 2011 - Malaysia Airlines System (MAS) could take this opportunity to market their brands, products and services when Qantas (the national carrier for Australia) grounded its entire fleets. There is a several way how to improve MAS presence in Australia. Which are:-

1) Market their brands and products since there is a huge number of passengers traveling to Europe and Asian countries from Australia.
2) MAS could act as a feeder for Qantas by offering a flight to Qantas' passengers to Europe and Asian countries from Australia and in return Qantas will pay MAS for using MAS fleets.

MAS has good services, one of the World's Best Cabin Crew and a 5-Stars airlines. MAS-Qantas has a good relationship and recently MAS join One World is sponsored by Qantas but MAS didnt take this opportunity to market them. MAS should be more sensitive next time.


Better Be Rational

U can't expect someone to have the same attitude or looks or others because time change and people change. It can be better or worst!

Happiness....

Sometimes happiness doesn't come with money, faith or power and sometimes happiness come with a good family and friends in ability to have a good life

ACCA June 2011 Exams

Thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk god!! I passed all 3 papers in the last exams!

Vacation: Bangkok!

July 11th-15th, 2011 - Recently, I went to Bangkok for a last mins vacation with my sister. Very last mins plan. We flew there with Royal Jordanian airlines on economy class. The fare relatively cheap for premium airlines. However the seat feel so uncomfortable and rough rough to me. My sister sponsored the ticket for me.

Relatively about Thailand, the people are rough or quite in-polite and I think maybe due to language barrier. The people wasn't pretty enough as compared with Malaysian and Indonesian. I'm really thank to god to live in Malaysia with friendly people, pretty and well develop country with good transportation connectivity and great architectures. For original branded goods and imitation, I would say Malaysia are relatively cheaper and better than Thailand in certain brands.

These are the few pictures taken during my vacation.

Malaysia Airlines new baby giant A330-300

Sepang, Selangor (14 April 2011)- Malaysia Airlines has launched its new A330-300 aircraft today.

Starting with a launch flight MH8888 from KLIA, guests were taken for a short journey to experience the new interiors and features of the aircraft. Upon arrival, the traditional water salute welcomed the latest aircraft to the Malaysia Airlines fleet, followed by a mixed drum ensemble. An eclectic dance performance symbolised the potpourri of cultures, as the passengers disembarked from the aircraft.

Malaysia Airlines’ Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Tengku Dato’ Sri Azmil Zahruddin said, “We are delighted to launch our first A330-300 five months after the delivery of the new B737-800 in November. The latest fleet is aimed at creating a strong and sustained platform for us to serve our discerning customers and for Malaysia Airlines to remain profitable. These aircrafts will serve the growing markets of South Asia, China, North Asia and Australia.”

The new Airbus A330-300 is the first of 15 aircrafts to be delivered to Malaysia Airlines over the next four years, as part of the airline's fleet renewal programme. It is the second fleet after the B737-800 to sport the dynamic livery with red and blue lines representing the Malaysia Airlines’ corporate colours.

The enhanced A330-300 has a total capacity of 283 seats, 36 seats in Business class and 247 seats in Economy class (Singapore Airlines (SIA) has 285 seats, 30 seats in Business class and 255 seats in Economy class which MAS better than SIA on their A330-300). All seats are equipped with AC power supply and USB port for laptops and electronic equipment. The new interiors are installed with mood lighting in all cabins and spacious overhead baggage compartments.

To provide enhanced experience and comfort, the sophisticated features and interiors of the new A330-300 Business Class cabin offer comfortable angled lie flat seats, a fold-out privacy divider and six-way adjustable headrest, among others, presenting the traveller with both a mini office, as well as a place to unwind.

The Economy Class cabin, features lightweight and slim design seats with four-way headrest. Each seat is equipped with individual audio-video on demand smart screens. The latest movies, TV programs, moving map and games are available for both cabins.

The first commercial flight on the new A330-300 will be from Kuala Lumpur to Brisbane departing on 20 April 2011, followed by flights to Shanghai, Osaka, Beijing, Perth and Delhi on later dates.

Kuala Lumpur – Beijing eff 21 JUL 11
Kuala Lumpur – Brisbane eff 20 APR 11
Kuala Lumpur – Delhi MH190/191 eff 15 SEP 11
Kuala Lumpur – Denpasar MH715/714 eff 15 SEP 11
Kuala Lumpur – Osaka Kansai eff 14 JUN 11
Kuala Lumpur – Perth MH127/128 eff 24 JUL 11 Day 4
Kuala Lumpur – Shanghai Pu Dong MH388/389 Day 2 (17MAY11 – 28JUN11) MH386/387 eff 01 AUG 11

Planned 333 service to Dhaka, once a week from late-July 2011, is now CANCELED

Overall I would satisfy on MAS new A330-300 but I hope that their Business Class seat can be reclined more. MAS A330 are better than Singapore Air A330-300 from my point of view. Except changing aircraft from Boeing 777-200 to A330-300 it is not a good idea because A330-300's Economy class are smaller at 32" as compared with 34" on 777-200.

Bangor University

Bangor University is a university based in the city of Bangor in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales, which one of the smallest cities in Britain.

You maybe curious to know why I'm posting about this university. Actually I wish I could further study there to finish my ACCA. It was my dream to further study in UK since I was a child. Why this place you may ask? Outskirts of the city? Simply peaceful city, beside the beach and yet cost of living quite cheap as compared with other cities.

I do hope everyone could pray for me so that I could achieve my dream. I hope I could fly this coming January 2012.
