Malaysia Airlines has embarked on a significant route rationalisation as part of its restructuring plan to stem its losses anticipated this year and in 2012.
The route rationalisation involves the withdrawal from the following loss-making routes:
Effective 6 January 2012: Daily flights Kuala Lumpur – Surabaya B737.
Effective 10 January 2012: Thrice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Dubai A330.
Effective 12 January 2012: Twice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Karachi – Dubai A330.
Effective 13 January 2012: Twice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Dubai – Damman A330.
Effective 30 January 2012: Daily Langkawi – Penang – Singapore B737.
Effective 31 January 2012: Thrice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Johannesburg B777.
Effective 1 February 2012: Twice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Cape Town – Buenos Aires B747.
Effective 2 February 2012: Thrice-weekly Kuala Lumpur – Rome B777.
“The withdrawal was based on our own independent internal profitability and yield analysis," said Malaysia Airlines’ Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya. However Malaysia Airlines will start operating back to these routes when the business is stable.

MAS Should Take Opportunity When Qantas Grounded Its Fleets
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.

Facts that I discovered about MAS
Overall I would satisfy on MAS new A330-300 but I was hoping 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. Forget about business class seat, as the new Business class are better.
Boeing 737-800 Malaysia Airlines are great except their seats on Economy class are so small at 30" as compared with other mainstream airlines such as Garuda Indonesia (31-32"), Thai Airways (31") and Singapore Airlines (32").
If I'm not mistaken that MAS new A380 Business class are great but the seats can't recline more than A380 of Qantas Airways. What a shame for 5 Star airlines that can't beat 4-star airlines such Qantas, Garuda Indonesia and Thai Airways in terms of seat size and degree of reclining.

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.

Los Angeles & Las Vegas
October 6th - 21st, 2010 - This is my first time I went to States and this is my longest vacation ever which is almost 3 weeks! TOTALLY TOTALLY GREAT EXPERIENCED!! I've travelled to Los Angeles (City of Angels) and Vegas (City of Lights).
I never taught that I could go to States before I start working. This is something totally unexpected for me. I spend about 3days 2 nights in Vegas, the city of entertainment and gambling city! It took about 3 hours drive from Los Angeles. Vegas I would said that it is very very nice city with full of lights. I never been to any city like Vegas before. This city is totally clean and nice. The people moves around 24-7. The people are busing with gambling during the day and night. For Shopping, Las Vegas is a great place to shopping because the tax rate here is cheaper as compared to Los Angeles. Furthermore, there is a lot of factory outlets here! Of course you need a cash even though it is cheap! For example, u can get Coach handbag here at around $USD150 but in Malaysia would cost you more then $USD600! Electronic devices here is cheaper as compared with Malaysia maybe due to tax differences. I watched Zumanity, Cirque de Soleil in Vegas. Good show and I recommended to all of you but you must consider of your age if you are below 18 because the show is totally 18SX.
Disneyland is great theme park! Very nice theme park among I visited so far. I went to Universal Studio and 6 Flags Magic Mountain as well. Back to the story again, you have to ask yourself which category do u want to go. If its thrill theme park then 6 Flags Magic Mountain is the top priority, in terms of variety of rides and nice theme park then Disneyland is your choice and if you like 3D stuffs and Hollywood movie experience then Universal Studio is your choice.
Traveling to States is something travelling to another world! MAS flights really comforts me as their economy class seat among the biggest ever with 34". MAS operates 3 times weekly. I wish MAS refurbish their Economy seats with better In-Flight Entertainment system.

Expand the Expandable of Malaysia Airlines
Expand Malaysia Airlines when there is an opportunity available. Malaysia Airlines should deploy new routes to Zurich, Madrid, Athens, Kuwait City, Doha, New York, Hawaii and Christchurch. Don't ask about the load factor because there is so many ways to improve the load factors by simply marketing strategy, product offering and transiting before the final city. My suggestion or my point of view is Malaysia Airlines should introduce new business class on their fleet. Current business class seat are small in size and are not full flat lie bed. Besides that, Malaysia Airlines could deploy on the following routes:
1) Kuala Lumpur - Doha - Muscat - Doha - Kuala Lumpur
2) Kuala Lumpur - Kuwait City - New York - Kuwait City - Kuala Lumpur
3) Kuala Lumpur - Tehran - Moscow - Tehran - Kuala Lumpur
4) Kuala Lumpur - Tokyo Narita - Honolulu - Tokyo Narita - Kuala Lumpur
5) Kuala Lumpur - Johannesburg - Sao Paolo - Johannesburg - Kuala Lumpur
6) Kuala Lumpur - Melbourne - Christchurch - Melbourne - Kuala Lumpur
7) Kuala Lumpur - Zurich - Kuala Lumpur
8) Kuala Lumpur - Athens - Madrid - Athens - Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia Airlines might concerned on the availability of an aircraft to deploy these routes. Malaysia Airlines could use operating lease for temporary to test the markets and when the market is there, malaysia airlines can subsequently purchase a new aircraft to cater the demand and growth.
With the new aircraft, Malaysia Airlines can reduce fuel consumption with better fuel efficiency aircraft. Besides that, Malaysia Airlines can offer a new products such as new first, business and economy class, nicer interior, shower for first and business class, Wifi and mobile phone coverage on board.

MAS 737-800 Simulator
Malaysia Airlines Launches A New Training Centre
Subang, 24 January, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) , proudly marked another step towards becoming the undisputed leader in the aviation industry in Malaysia by stepping up on its pilots training centre. In a modest ceremony, MAS together with CAE, a world leader in providing simulation and modelling technologies and integrated training solutions, held a small opening and launching ceremony of its new B738 simulation training centre in Glenmarie, Subang.
The new training centre, maintained and operated by CAE, features a CAE 7000 Series Boeing 737-800 Level D full-flight simulator (FFS) and a CAE SimfinityTM Boeing 737-800 Integrated Procedures Trainer (IPT) acquired from CAE in November 2009.
The High Commissioner of Canada, His Excellency Mr. Randolph Mank graced the event as the honoured guest. Also present at the event was the Senior Trade Commissioner of Canada, Mr. Douglas R. Bingeman.
Mr. Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services in his opening speech commended MAS as the training centre was built in record time.
"MAS has been a great customer of CAE since our first sale of simulation equipment 28 years ago," said Roberts. “Advanced flight simulators are essential to the safe and efficient operations of airlines around the world. Simulation-based training ensures that new pilots required to meet growing demands, as well as more experienced pilots, are regularly trained and re-trained in essential skills and decision-making judgement.”
Roberts was optimistic about the aviation industry, citing a global growth trend which is expected to increase the demand of pilots to approximately 18,000 yearly. “One of the highest rates of pilot growth will come from Asia for both passenger and cargo traffic,” he added.
MAS CEO, Tengku Dato’ Seri Azmil Zahruddin remarked that the launch of this training centre marked the start of future growth and innovation in MAS. “It is a very significant and important event for us as this marks the beginning of new aircrafts coming into our fleet,” said Tengku Azmil.
“The relationship also marks the more innovative, professional and international way MAS is moving forward in terms of business operations. “It is necessary for airlines to do things in a new way, to work with partners and ensure that they meet our high safety standards. It is a big step for us,” added Tengku Azmil.

Malaysia Airlines opportunity left it out.
I wrote this specially for Malaysia Airlines management team, not to condem but there is a room for them to capture the market. I see opportunity and they see nothing. I can see there is opportunity to deploy new routes such as.....
Kuala Lumpur - Tehran - Moscow and vise versa
As you know, a lot of Arabic or to be specific Iranian migrating to Malaysia or work or business or further study here. Iranian do fly to Moscow especially for technology discussion and technology transfer for military. Iran Air do offer to Kuala lumpur and Moscow service. However, Iran only cater low-medium traveller because lack of quality products. Malaysia Airlines can fulfil this gap by deploying a new route from Kuala Lumpur to Moscow and transit in Tehran.
Kuala Lumpur - Kuwait - New York or Kuala Lumpur - Kuwait - Zurich or vice versa
Look to our competitor, Garuda Airlines. Before they capture the market to Amsterdam route, they introduce Jakarta - Dubai - Amsterdam route until when the direct flight is needed with high demand. Transit will help them to fill the empty seats. Kuwait is one of the rich with oil country and consider wealthy country. Kuwait do have their own national carier, Kuwait Airways but the product offering cannot beat Malaysia Airlines and I can see there is oppurtunity for Malaysia Airlines to capture the market in this route. Singapore Airliness do offer Singapore - Zurich direct flights with largest aircraft ever build, A380. Malaysia Airliness loss the market share to Singapore Airlines and need something refresh and new to deploy to respective routes.
