Good or no good, have to see la when in operation. As long as salary are being paid, good la. If not close shop in 6 months. Nevertheless, good luck.

I think, a third malaysian airline is good to create healthy competition. However, we must not forget that Malaysia Airlines will always be our ambassador flagship. Thank you.

What about BERJAYA AIR? I flew them from Koh Samui (Thailand) to KL. Landed at the old Subang Airport - creepy ghost town.

[ciku]

heard asmara air did not get the approval from the transport ministry afterall. gov changed their mind. MAS is still bleeding why introduce another competitor.

Airlines airlines
It is such a competative market today you get what you pay for.
Look at what you are paying for - You pay 3000 baht for One Two Go and you get a virtual deckchair squashed up against the person in front of you. You Pay the the higher prices of Thai airways an you get a comfortable seat. If you chose to pay for a deck chiar don't complain.

[mohan]
