Bullbear is really running wild again ;-)

"BullBear Folks, though AA made no reference in the latest business plan, the company has been already cutting flights to Borneo"

Yes they can cut the frequency for a higher yield! Why? Malindo meanwhile have canx Tawau, Miri and Sibu and reduced more than half of the capacityto Kuching and Kota. So how? ;-)

15-Jan-2014 Thai AirAsia X (Bangkok Don Mueang) has taken delivery of its first A330-300 HS-XTA (cn 662) earlier on January 15 at Bangkok Don Mueang.

The aircraft transferred from parent carrier AirAsia X (D7, Kuala Lumpur Int'l) will likely be used for the certification process ahead of the launch of proposed long-haul operations from Bangkok Don Mueang to destinations in North Asia, Australia and Europe.

6,5% seatshare is not 6,5% marketshare ;-). Looks like malindo have problems to fill the big 737-900 and looking more on the small atr72 with new frequencies from subang against Firefly.

Although the airline continues to advertise service launch begins from 27JAN14 on its website, however online booking is not displaying available flights until 19MAR14.

Very professionel!! :-P

Malaysia has load factor of 93 percent. Never seen that in my time. Even when we had 2 planes. Can't wait for Klia 2.

From TF Twitter: Malaysia and Indonesia having record load factor. Philippines now cash positive. Thai despite political issues will have record month.

@ kcloh
Malindo have now 6 B737-900 and 3 Atr72. This moment im at Kuala Terengganu airport..some angry malindo passengers here...flight to subang is canceld. Im here with Firefly.

@Bulkbear
Visit the LCCT! Fuller is not possible! Expect a very high loadfactor for AA IN Q4!

Malindo cant stand....they cancel Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru and Johor Bahru to Kota Kinabalu from 15th Februar. From 15th Februar Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi will be reduced from 2x daily to 1x daily. And from 2nd January, they will reduce Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu again! from 4 times daily to 2-3 times daily.

You post the same Thing every 2 hours?

Nadi to exit Malindo Air?

PETALING JAYA: More than a year into its partnership to form the country’s newest airline, Malindo Air, owners Indonesian billionaire Rusdi Kirana and National Aerospace Defence & Industries Bhd (Nadi) are said to have fallen out, with talk of a possible exit of Nadi from the business.
Sources say that the bone of contention between the two is to do with the leadership and management of Malindo Air. It is understood that Nadi, which has largely been content with letting Rusdi steer the airline, is now keen to appoint its own candidate to helm it. Rusdi, however, is adamant that Chandran Rama Muthy, his former personal assistant remains as CEO of the airline.
This difference of opinion, among others, has led to the possibility of Nadi selling its stake in Malindo Air.

3 out of 4 routes to India without AA-Flights, the two destinations in Bangladesh too. But dont you think that...if These routes are good...AA would be on These routes for Long?

I think he have fear from AirAsia! He urgently Needs some routes without competition to make some Money.

Karin Phua Trichy from 2 Jan 2014, Delhi from 30 Dec, 2013 and Mumbai from 15 Feb 2014...yes...Malindo going to India for real this time. Chandran must be happy to be so clever.

And Ahmedabad from 27 Jan 4 times a week. You really thinks that he is clever?

Karin...AA not flying into Mumbai and Dehli....and one daily to tiri against 3 daily from AA.

After two weeks bangkok and six flights with aa im flying home today...back to kl at the 18th dec...then two aa flights and i will taste aax firefly and mas for the first time...cu :-)

You just have a look at the Apron in the morning. When i was there in June there were several planes of the "first wave" parking at the Taxiways..i think 5 or 6. I think with LCCT2 they will push the international Connections to India and southern China for example.
AirAsia X is projected to grow from now 16 A330 to 23 A330 in 2014 for Malaysia and 2 for Bangkok. that will bring much more connecting passengers.
This week on the flight back from ChiangMai to Bangkok i talked to a Girl from norway. She was on the way to Melbourne....Bangkok-Kuala Lumpur-Melbourne with AA and AAX.

Projected New Year boom for Airports in Thailand! Don Mueang Airport for example expects around 65% more passengers between Dec 27 and Jan 2!
And which is the Airline with the most flights out of Don Mueang? :-)

Btw...i have a flight in Dec out of Subang...i have read there is only a slow bus. How much is a taxi from sentral Station to subang Airport?

@lga....to 1,20 in two years would be 8pz per year....you can show me a bank where i will get that?

A very good dividend was payed in q1!

Lol

And just one remark to BullBears cancelation lists...for example there is no flight on monday from Nanning to Kuala Lumpur...but BullBear says he is cancelled.....any question about that?

Looks like Malindo have still Problems to get enough People into their jets! I tried to book for tomorrow...oneway! And it is still possible to get Penang and Johor for just RM39 (AA 84+104), Langkawi RM89 (AA 158), Sibiu RM109 (AA 147), Kuching RM99 (AA 136) and Kota for RM159 (AA 224).
How wanna make Malindo Money when you can book this trips one day in front for such less Money?

Btw, Malindo now have 9 aircraft in Service, 3 ATR72 and 6 B737, fully planed and no Backup if there is a technical!

Malindo starts with flights to Chittagong in Bangladesh from January...flights are bookable three rimes a week. Seen any advertisement for the new route so far? :-)

Malindo Air

Dear Guests,
Please take note we are facing power outage in the area where our call centre is located at. This leads to inactive servers. We will keep you all posted on the development and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you.


I think they dont pay the bill :-P

"Thai Lion will force AA to lower prices for the routes in general. That is affecting their bottom line as seen in Malaysian scenario already...barely a year and we have lost so much!"

Karin, the most Impact on AA in Malaysia is MAS not the small Malindo! But "we lost so much" not because of the yields....look again at the operating Profit! Ist higher than one year ago.
Here in Thailand AA and NOK are so strong on the Route to Chiang Mai...but there is still air to fly.

What do you think how often they have to pay a dividend???? They paid in Q2...after tax i got 6%!! Come done Bullbear and go to the toilet to make kakakakakak

They paying enough for the right produkt ;-). Talking to some thais here from nok and thai aa....they have really no fear with thai lion. 'An indonesian produkt will not sell very well here...they can offer as cheap tickets as they want'.

Greetz from chiangmai....tasted Nokair today first time...very sympathic and the business is doing well but i think they are too small in the future. Thai AirAsia grows so much here..
