As I referring to Malaysian Chronicles' article on "
After Los Angeles, Malaysia Airlines may cut more routes", which was
published 29th January 2014, The Malaysian Chronicles and Investment
Aviation Analyst are advised to get accurate information. There are lots of mistakes and wrong
information in the article, which leads to misunderstanding. And I hope that Malaysian Chronicle and Analyst should take notes of their mistakes
There are four mistakes, both parties need to revise of this article. For example:
Mistake 1:
Comment 1:
Malaysia Airlines serves to Cairo?
Currently, Egypt Air is the only airlines serve between Kuala
Lumpur and Cairo via Bangkok and offers three weekly flights.
Mistake 2:
Comment 2:
MAS flies once a week to Dubai? This is wrong
information. Malaysia Airlines is currently operating DAILY flight to
Dubai. Since 5th January 2014,
Malaysia Airlines changed its fleet by deploying Airbus 330-300 on this route.
This Airbus aircraft is more fuel-efficient and offers better inflight cabin
better than ageing Boeing 777-200ER.

Emirates offers four times weekly?
Actually, Emirates offers FOUR DAILY flights with mix
aircrafts of Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 777-300 and Airbus 380-800. This is based on MAHB
Timetable.
Mistake 3:
Comment 3:
a) Air Ticket Price. Based on Malaysia Airlines’ and Emirates’ website show that, the different from
the statement. Malaysia Airlines offers lower price ticket (which is less than
26.57%, including taxes) than Emirates, on Economy class (on 1st March 2014).

b) Needs
a minimum seven flights? The airline has already reinstated the daily flight to
Dubai since 5th August 2013.
Mistake 4:
Comment 4:
Not much money to be made?.. Hmm.. I am so not sure
with the point… Yes, Malaysia Airlines is currently operating three weekly
flights to Istanbul. Therefore, it actually reflects to demand of the airline
on this route. However, since Turkish Airlines has resumed back its service to
Kuala Lumpur from 25th April 2013, the airline is currently, offers
with a four weekly flights and utilizing mix fleet of Airbus 330/340. Since the
introduction of this route, the demand becomes increases. Besides, the airline
plans to increase flights to Kuala Lumpur in this year. Thus, it shows that
there is increasing demands on this route. Starting 30th March 2014,
Turkish Airlines will increase its flight to six and become daily flight from 28th
April 2014. I don't think, it is just only for leisure destination, it can be as business destinations as Turkey on of the powerful economy countries in the world. Turkish Airlines' hub in Istanbul Kamal Antarturk Airport is one of the fastest growing airport in Europe and the world (similar to Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi) and becoming transit hub especially from Asia to Europe (vice versa). Turkish Airlines has extensively routes network in Europe and one of the largest airlines in Europe. With Advantages offers by Turkish Airlines and Istanbul/Kamal Antarturk Airport, have attracted passengers and 'stealing' market from Gulf hubs in Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Review 1:
Comment 1:
Why Malaysia Airlines should suspend flights to
Frankfurt?
I need more information/evidence and need some clarifications on this statement. Malaysia Airlines
is operating five weekly flights to Frankfurt. The airline is now competing
with Lufthansa on this route. Lufthansa is serving between Kuala Lumpur and Frankfurt
with four weekly flights basis. Starting on 30th March, Lufthansa
will introduce nonstop flight to Kuala Lumpur from its hub in Frankfurt am Main. Moreover, the airline is raises
its frequency to Kuala Lumpur from four to five flight basis. Besides that, Kuala Lumpur becomes the airline
transit before continue its journey to Jakarta. The point is there is demand between Kuala Lumpur and Frankfurt.
After review of the article, I hope that the
Malaysian Chronicles and Aviation Analyst should do more study and get more information before publishing articles, in order to avoid misunderstanding, especially to the readers/Netizens. Arios!
