Why did MH stop Operating AMD
Permalink Closed

AMD had only 4 airlines operating on international routes Indian, Air India, Singapore Airlines & Malaysia Airlines. AMD has a lot of International Pax going out to UK, USA and AUS, apart from the middle east. SQ is doing fine on AMD-SIN route and so is with AI on AMD-LON route


Does any one know what happened to MH ?


SQ and AI operate 3 weekly flights out of AMD to SIN and LON ?


whats up,


Sohil

Hey Sohil,


I dont know why MH stopped operating to AMD but I think it must be due to poor load factors or the aircraft might have been utilized better somewhere else.


It would also be great if you move this topic to Civil Aviation Discussions as it might get more attention there.This topic is clearly not related to photography.


Cheers,


Mayank

could be due to MH's internal problems.  Heard they are cutting down a lot of staff as a result of competition from a LCC from Malaysia itself.  AMD could be one of many fall-out of this.

MH is facing losses and did route restructuring recently, whcih uis why Ahmedabad went off the air map.


The Malaysian Govt is now "backing" Air Asia. MH may be looking to lease its 737 fleet also. 9W has some planes from here.

 well u need to check up in this regard because the latest news was that the Malaysian Govt apparently had a change of heart and are now fighting well with air asia on the routes where they can compete rather than just lay their arms on the domestic sector...

Not really Vabby,


Governments of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are signing an agreement that heavily favours Air Asia. Will try and get a link of that.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand ink deal harmonising AirAsia laws




KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14, 2006 (UNI)


Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand on Monday inked a landmark agreement to harmonise aviation laws relating to AirAsia which will smooth the budget carrier’s regional operations.


AirAsia’s chief executive Tony Fernandes, who has urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to speed up deregulation in the aviation industry in order to lower costs and spur growth, hailed the agreement.


‘‘I am pleased that the regional cooperation has received full support from the Department of Civil Aviation of Malaysia, Thai Department of Civil Aviation and Directorate General of Air Communications (Thailand),’’ he said.


Fernandes has said that the 10-nation bloc must harmonise regulatory requirements if it wants to achieve its goal of having open skies, and called for a European-style joint aviation authority.


The Malaysia-based airline, which dominates the crowded Southeast Asian low-cost sector, has joint venture operations in Indonesia and Thailand.


Under the new agreement, to be implemented in November, are four key areas including standardising pilots’ retirement age at 65. Currently it is set at 60 in Malaysia and Indonesia and 63 in Thailand.


The second allows pilots to certify the aircraft for flying and the third is to allow engineers in respective countries to certify one another’s aircraft. Currently different rules apply in the three countries, potentially causing delays.


The fourth area provides for aircraft from Malaysia or Indonesia to be freely substituted in the case of a Thai AirAsia aircraft being grounded.


Malaysia’s transport minister Chan Kong Choy said the ‘‘pragmatic approach and cooperation will not only assist the growth of the AirAsia group but more importantly spur the progressive growth of the aviation industry in the region.’’


Chan said separately Monday that Malaysia and Singapore are considering bringing forward an open-skies agreement due to be implemented in the region by 2008, which will allow unlimited capital-to-capital flights within ASEAN.
