I meant MH is likely to send their ML series 738s rather than MX series, unless you're lucky

Yay, hope it's assigned on routes out of KUL OT: any exact dates for the A330s?

[SliverKris]

That has been posted here before, I am so certain about it.

Delivery: Tentative 12 April 2011
1st flight: KUL-BNE 15 May 2011

Just in at MW, 2nd A333 is now preparing for 1st test flight.

Was flying on VN from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh today and saw a MH's 738 MX series there..

Hm, usually operated by ML series.

[KevSQ]

Yeah..i was surprised as well...perhaps some last minute change for the day..

Maybe there was one lying around, so they decided to send it there. Perhaps like how SQ sends SV rather than SR birds to KUL.

Did you actually see the registration as MX- series or did you assume it was MX- series based on the colours on the plane?

The reason why I'm asking is that there are at least two of the leased ML-series that came in the new colours. So, it could have been one of these ML-series without the Sky interior or PTVs that you saw.

[KevSQ]

Surely the registration on the landing gear...

MH's 1st A333 'NG', 9M-MTA, has arrived in KUL in the new livery.



Now if only someone crash the ribbon, climb up the stair and snap MH's new J seats and Y seats on the A333. Those seats are probably the ones that will be featured on MH's A380s next year.

9M-MTA will commence KUL-BNE-KUL on 20 April 2011, 3 weeks ahead of schedule. 9M-MTB is on the line as F-WWYX.

[SilverChris]

Hope we get a pic of the J cabin. I presume the Y seats are the current ones?

What a coincidence, MH also registers their new A333s as -T-, ala SQ

[SliverKris]

In the mean time, there'll be a lot of joyride offers by MH's big shots, before the launch flight to Eagle Farm on 20 April:
