The only statement that I disagree

Malaysia Airlines and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)

The Qantas/Emirates partnership has robbed both Malaysia Airlines and KLIA an invaluable opportunity for growth, which they may blame on the tardy process of negotiations between Malaysia Airlines and Qantas to reach agreement on jointly setting up an Asia-based premier airline dubbed RedQ, which would likely be based at KLIA in direct competition with SIA and Changi for hub status. But the choice of Malaysia Airlines as a JV partner may not be strategically viable for Qantas since the former is itself struggling in red ink. Besides, KLIA is not as strategically positioned as Changi. In the end, it may be a blessing in disguise for Qantas now that RedQ may evolve naturally out of its focus on Changi as a hub for its Asian operations, in form though not in name.

The only statement i disagree, KLIA is not as strategically as changi. In every hub or airport, has its own "Special characters" as compared to others. I would say that Alor Setar Airport in Kedah has located strategically in South East Asia. Back to main point KLIA although has less connections than Changi. It has plenty room spaces to grow. KLIA offer more regional route network through Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia. KLIA is the main low - cost hub in South East Asia. KLIA also provide low landing price as compared to Singapore Changi airport.
