Airasia will stop flying after june 2012..if...
Air Asia will stopped flying after june 2012 because the a320 are going for a heavy maintainance and they dont even own a hangar.
Buy 20% MAS then used the MAS engineering falilities and staff to do the heavy maintainance. !!

From what I hear, they have not paid for previous maintenance work on the B737s; and they have not paid the MAB too. Really a magical operation going places, truly malaysia boleh! How they are going to get the heavy maintenance done for the A320's is anybody's guess...the most probable way would be to get DCA to defer the requirements. Good luck guys!

The Pharoah has spoken!
Dr M says fed up with MAS, backs AirAsia swap deal
(The Malaysian Insider) - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad threw his weight today behind the controversial share swap deal between the national carrier and AirAsia despite strong opposition from the right-wing Malay ground and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) staff against Tan Sri Tony Fernandes’ involvement.
Critics have accused the budget carrier’s ambitious boss of taking advantage of the loss-making national airline to fuel Fernandes’ personal ambitions, the latest being the acquisition of English Premier League club, Queens Park Rangers.
The national carrier will sponsor QPR’s home jersey for the next two seasons, while AirAsia’s logo will be emblazoned on the team’s away and third kits.
The still-influential former prime minister said today he was “fed up”with MAS’ management over the years.
“Government had supported MAS with funds and protection but MAS had never done well,” the country’s longest-serving prime minister of 22 years wrote in his blog today,comparing the two airlines.
In contrast, he observed that AirAsia being a “newcomer” into the aviation industry had defied the odds and grown from a two-plane operation covering four routes into Asia’s biggest budget carrier.
“All I wanted to see is Air Asia’s management playing a role, indirectly or directly in the management of MAS,” said Dr Mahathir (picture).
The 86-year-old appears to be pushing AirAsia to the forefront in recent months,including suggesting, during this year’s Langkawi International Dialogue at Putrajaya last June, the budget carrier open up new routes from Malaysia to several African countries.
MAS and AirAsia inked the deal on August 9, which allows the loss-making national carrier to swap a 20 per cent stake for 10 per cent in Asia’s top money-making budget carrier.

AA used to send their 737 to MAS for maintenance long ago (under TF), but then stopped it & now sending to Singapore I think.
Reason being is most probably that any aircraft sent to MAS enginineering is never released on time, while in Singapore it's always on time!
Even AAX which has A330 & A340 is not sending to MAS engineering, eventhough MAS has capability for A330 & A340 maintenance.

SB: the monitoring of internet blogs and forums
Otherwise we get nothing but cuts and pastes from internet blogs which may be true but may cause some cojoneless people to be nervous about replying to.
Running scared from engaging in discussions about MAS's problems give the authorities the green light that nobody cares and the culprits can continue with plundering the national coffers through MAS with wanton abandon. The plunderers know that MAS people are scared to expose them ( even when the have access to incriminating evidence ) and they encourage this apathy and denial through their tentacles in MASEU and MAPA. Why do you think that this had been hidden and even when exposed got swept under the carpet with nary an NFA?

Where else can you vent your view.
Sireh no problemo,,,,,
Tun Mahathir is angry at MAS because he said the airlines never improved.
I wish he said that infront of a big mirror. TR cannabalised Mas in open day light for so many years during his tenure, Did he ever notice it. Ibrahim LSG given XX years contract. under xxx xxx.
Who actually appointed the Tarbusus to run Mas. ( xxxxxxx Tarbus is an old malay movie).
There were so many unseen hand rigging the airline from the backstage. It is a cash cow , It is so sickening to see that despite the losses and dignity in the drain... MAS sponsored QPR and somebody else getting the name outside Malaysia.........still they are telling blind Malaysian that it is a business and marketing strategy. Wonder whose business was that

AA aircraft not realeased on time by MAS
Shumway76,
If am going to do a job for somebody and may be not get paid for the job done whilst I have my own job to do, so I might as well take it easy.
AA knew it they can get away without paying Mas or Mab but do that in Singapore. Next thing LKY will lelong their aircraft in Sungei Road. History has proven that AA over 5 years they can get away with daylight robbery by not paying in full . In business track records are vital.

Ipohmari, bad idea to insinuate any wrongdoing of mahathir in this forum. Almost all of the Mara sponsored flyboys and those of TUDM think of mahathir as their god; in their mind without mahathir, Mara would not have sponsored in their flight training them especially with their poor basic MCE/SPM. With mahathir, miracles happened and riff raffs get launched into the aerospace world well above their stations. Have you ever get into a technical, industrial or philosophical debate/discussion with these fellas? Their " depth " and basic understanding about most issues would send your head into an orbit. No wonder the " astronaut '" was able to shake the whole scientific world with teh tarik experiments!
So it's a big no no in trying to shame them into seeing their " god " in a different light. This diabolical kaka kutty is their saviour, deliverer, their Raja Mahdi. Mas boys will curse and swear at your audacity to associate him with anything improper. Be warned!

TR to face justice soon?
The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department has declared that TR broke the law; can MAS now pursue criminal charges and civil suits against him to recover the previous losses due to his criminal acts?

Ex-MAS boss broke the law, says Nazri

Did the former DFO Dr Don make any headway in his legal suit against Tajuddin? In case the GLCs do win their cases against Tajuddin, will AK assume any of the liabilities?

Firefly ala kaput?
End of the road for Firefly’s jet serviceBy Lee Wei Lian, The Malaysian Insider
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 – Firefly’s jet service became a casualty of the strategic collaboration between Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and AirAsia today and the fledging budget carrier will now focus on its turbo-prop fleet.
Malaysia Airlines announced today that all of its subsidiary’s jet aircraft will be redeployed into the parent company’s operations by December 4, 2011 saying that the move addresses the continuing heavy losses being incurred by Firefly jet operations.
Little was known about Firefly’s financials previously as profit and loss statements were never disclosed by MAS.
The national carrier said that it deeply regreted any inconvenience caused to passengers of Firefly Jet services and gave its fullest assurance to passengers that it will honour all jet flight seats sold on Firefly.
The MAS-AirAsia strategic collaboration was inked on August 9 as a deal between the government’s investment holding company Khazanah which controls MAS and unlisted Tune Air which controls AirAsia.
The move renders AirAsia as Malaysia’s only major airline operating in the budget or value segment prompting fears that the collaboration would give rise to an airline industry cartel.
MAS had since last year used Firefly to compete against AirAsia, launching competitively priced flights from KL to East Malaysia and adopting the same low cost model such as charging for meals on board.
A fare war had erupted late last year with Firefly offering 50,000 seats as low as RM9 and AirAsia responding with a million free seats.
It was also seen by some as a threat to the booming low cost carrier despite AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes dismissing any such notions

Real investigation or sandiwara?
By Shannon Teoh, The Malaysian Insider
The share swap between Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and AirAsia is being probed by Bursa Malaysia and the Securities Commission (SC) for insider trading.
The finance ministry said today that investigations were still ongoing despite the two airlines agreeing to the deal nearly three months ago.
“It will take time because it involves so many accounts and a huge value. So we need to separate those that are genuine and those with inside information,” Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Awang Adek Hussin told Parliament today.
Shares in budget airlines AirAsia had traded for as low as RM3.14 on June 23 and was finally traded at RM3.92 before being suspended on August 8 before the swap was announced.
It later dipped below RM2.80 on October 26.
National carrier MAS was suspended at RM1.60 but climbed to RM1.90 following the deal.
Awang Adek also said there was no need for either company to file any announcement with Bursa if there was no material development prior to the deal as the matter was considered private and confidential.
