airline will be making its presence felt at the Kuala Lumpur

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BA quit the London-KL route in 2001 due to a slowdown in global travel demand following the 9/11 terrorist attack in the US.<br /><br />BA’s
GM (Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa) Jamie Cassidy said Malaysia
has been on the airline’s radar for “quite some time now” amid the
significant rise in passenger movements between KLIA and Heathrow
International Airport.<br /><br />“About 460,000 people are travelling the
KL-London route yearly. Malaysia has grown into a tourism hub from the
last time we were here.<br /><br />“Malaysian projects in London such as the
Battersea mega-redevelopment has also spurred travel between both
destinations. We cannot find a better time to come here,” he told a
media conference yesterday in Kuala Lumpur.<br /><br />Another airline
plying the same route is the financially bleeding Malaysia Airlines
(MAS), who is a code-sharing partner with BA via the oneworld alliance.<br /><br />In
reference to this, Cassidy said alliances do not stop competition in
the ever-competitive airline industry. He said BA will still work with
the national carrier to cater to various transit passengers from London
and KL respectively.<br /><br />“There was no discussion about our launch
with MAS. That would be anti-competitive,” he replied when asked whether
BA consulted MAS before deciding on the route.<br /><br />The restructuring
plan unveiled by Khazanah Nasional Bhd in end-August to save the ailing
MAS included rationalisation of routes, which might witness the
national airline cutting operational cost by suspending its long-haul
routes — London, Paris and Istanbul.<br /><br />MAS now utilises the new Airbus A380 to serve its daily London service.<br /><br />BA’s
KL-London flight is open for booking from today, with all-inclusive
return fares starting from RM3,696 for economy class, RM5,390 for
premium economy, as well as RM15,264 and RM29,658 for business and first
class seats respectively.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Published : NST on 2 October 2014 </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello again,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">KUALA LUMPUR: AIR crash investigators and forensic experts are
counting on a more detailed analysis of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17’s
flight data recorder (FDR) and the remains of passengers to build a
comprehensive picture of how the airliner was brought down and where the
“high-energy objects” that penetrated the aircraft had originated
from.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive" height="346" src="http://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/021014NEWS10.transformed.jpg" width="521" /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Currently, the probe is being conducted in tandem. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One area is focused on the painstaking analysis of the FDR, while
the other involves a more detailed look at the wounds on the remains of
passengers. This covers entry wounds, depth of projectile in the
remains, type of projectile, entry angle and exit wounds, if any. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dutch Safety Board spokesman Sara Vernooij told the <em>New Straits Times</em>
that data from the FDR on board the Boeing 777-200ER jetliner could
help narrow down the coordinates where the aircraft was shot down.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Vernooij said besides narrowing down the coordinates, the FDR would
also reveal additional information about the status of the engines, the
aircraft’s altitude, acceleration force and the status of the onboard
systems. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It can also help investigators determine the position of flight
control surfaces, such as the flaps, aileron, horizontal stabilisers,
slats, spoilers and rudder.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> “However, the process of encrypting the FDR will take time, as it
contains binary data (zeros and ones) that needs to be converted into
workable data before it can be analysed. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“A more detailed analysis of the data is also needed before we can
say what kind of ‘high-energy objects’ had penetrated the aircraft,”
she said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When asked about the key information that the probe team would
focus on in the hope of pinpointing the perpetrators, Vernooij refused
to comment, adding that it would be covered in the final report. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Department of Civil Aviation director-general Datuk Azharuddin
Abdul Rahman said he could not say for certain if the FDR could
determine the trajectory of the high-speed objects that had penetrated
the aircraft and brought it down.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I was there in Farnborough in the United Kingdom when the investigators analysed the data from both black boxes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“As stated in the preliminary report, there were no abnormalities or
warning signs heard in the cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The recording
stopped abruptly.” </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, he said, investigations were still in the early stages,
and experts would analyse the FDR and CVR more thoroughly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Azharuddin touched on the characteristic scouring mark on the underside of the jetliner’s left wing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whether the FDR or CVR could have recorded the impact of the
missile on the underside of the left wing “depends on certain
circumstances”, he said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“It depends on whether the missile exploded above or below the
aircraft, how severe the glancing blow was to the left wing and how it
had affected the handling of the airplane.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the forensic side of the investigations, Kuala Lumpur Hospital
pathology consultant Dr Mohd Shah Mahmood said once all the victims
had been identified and accounted for, investigators would move to
the next phase of the probe, which was to study the pattern of the
victims’ injuries and check them against their seating arrangements.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“You can see that the remains that were either intact or relatively
intact were (those of victims) sitting in the front and at the
back of the aircraft, while those who suffered the most injuries
were (seated) in the centre.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Investigators may also notice that those who had sat in the centre of the aircraft, near the engines, suffered more serious injuries compared with those seated in the front and at the back, who did not suffer any burns.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“There are a lot of theories going around, but since the plane had
just begun its flight, the fuel tank would have been full and those
sitting near the wings (where the fuel bladders are located) would have
sustained more burns compared with the others,” he said in an
exclusive interview at the hospital. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dr Shah said most of the remains had multiple injuries from the
impact of falling from more than 30,000 feet to the ground, adding that
many had fractured or crushed bones in several places.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Most of the remains in the first few batches were intact. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“That is why the process of identification was faster compared with the later remains.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He said the investigators, however, had yet to enter the next phase
of investigations as there were still victims unaccounted for,
including two Malaysians: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s
step-grandmother, Siti Amirah Parawira, and Shaliza Zaini Dewa, who was
on board the aircraft with her Dutch husband and three children.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He said the remains had been analysed by the Disaster Victim
Identification (DVI) team, comprising experts from Germany, Belgium,
Australia, United Kingdom and Malaysia.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, Dr Shah said, remains with possible criminal evidence would be examined by the DVI team from the Netherlands. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The Malaysian DVI team had no opportunity to examine the remains of
MH17 passengers with possible criminal evidence, as they had gone
straight to the criminal investigation team handled by the Dutch DVI
team.” </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He said upon the remains’ arrival in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and
later, Amsterdam, they were first scanned for chemical, biological,
radiology and nuclear explosives before going through the computed
tomography (CT) scan.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Using the CT scan, the DVI team would later separate the remains, which may contain embedded <br />metals or other evidence, from the rest. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Remains with foreign object embedded in them would be subjected to further investigation. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“This is important, as the objects could be evidence that could
help in the investigations into the downing of the airplane.”</span></span></div>

<div class="story" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TheStar : Monday September 22, 2014</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">KOTA KINABALU: The expansion work on the KK
International Airport (KKIA) will finally be completed next January
after a delay of more than two years.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Transport Minister Datuk
Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the final phase of the expansion works – the
extension of the airport’s runway and taxiway – would be completed by
then.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><img alt="Deep in discuss ion: Liow (centre) talking to his deputy Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong (right) and Sabah MCA chief Wilfred Yong during the Sabah MCA convention in Kota Kinabalu." src="http://www.thestar.com.my/%7E/media/Images/TSOL/Photos-Gallery/Nation/2014/09/22/mcaliowkkia2209.ashx?w=620&h=413&crop=1&" height="266" width="400" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “The new contractor has managed to bring forward the
projected completion date from March to January next year,” said Liow,
the MCA president, after opening the party’s state convention here
yesterday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said the expansion work was more than 95% completed
at the KKIA, which had been handling at least 6.5 million passengers
per year. “We are now back on track.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Liow said the airport runway had been extended by some 600m to a length of 3,780m so that it could receive larger aircraft.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The RM1.4bil KKIA expansion work began in 2005 and was initially targeted for completion in mid-2012.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Liow said his ministry was also looking at the extension of the
Sandakan airport runway and Lahad Datu airport expansion as requested by
the Sabah government.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Earlier when launching the Sabah MCA
convention, Liow said members must understand the reforms the party was
undergoing and that members must know their role and be proactive about
it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">MCA members, he said, should play a leading role in the community they lived in.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“They cannot be the passengers. Party branches and divisions have to be active as well,” he added.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said the party’s transformation must take place in the shortest time possible.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“We have come up with a ‘Stronger Together’ campaign. It not just a
slogan but an initiative aimed at strengthening unity in the party,”
Liow said.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He added that one of the party’s priorities was to strengthen small and medium enterprises.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Liow also directed MCA leaders to visit Sabah more frequently to assess the situation on the ground.</span></span><br />

<div class="story" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TheStar : Wednesday September 3, 2014</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello again, </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PETALING JAYA: Brahim’s Holdings Bhd’s new term
business is expected to be affected once Malaysia Airlines’ (MAS)
migrates its operations to a new company (Newco) by July next year.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to AllianceDBS Research, when MAS migrates its business to
the Newco, the ailing airline company is expected to renegotiate its
supply contracts, including the catering contract with Brahim’s
subsidiary, Brahim’s Airline Catering Sdn Bhd (BAC). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“There is
unlikely to be compensation for any breach of supply contracts because
there will be limited equity capital left in the old company once the
selective capital repayment is completed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “We also expect renewed
emphasis on revenue yield management, which will put an end to its
current aggressive promotional fares. These measures will hurt BAC’s
sales volumes,” said the research house in a note yesterday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="inlineAd" id="content_0_inlineAd" style="float: left; width: 100%;">
<div id="inlineAd1">
<div id="div-gpt-ad-1392882089877-0" style="width: 600px;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> It expects earnings to contract by 22% and 11% in Brahim’s
2014 and 2015 financial years ending Dec 31 respectively. The research
house however projects earnings to grow by 15% in 2016. Brahim’s sources
up to 75% of its sales from MAS’ inflight meals.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> AllianceDBS
also noted that regional flights typically consume less meals vis-à-vis
long-haul flights, while the focus on yield management would lead to
higher fares and lower load factor/passenger traffic going forward.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
“BAC is unlikely to be able to secure new contracts from other airlines
to fill the void left by MAS, especially not in the near-term. While
passengers could theoretically switch to other airlines which could in
turn ramp-up capacity to gain market share, we believe this is unlikely
to happen.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> According to the research house, the strong passenger
traffic in 2013 was mainly driven by MAS’ aggressive fare promotion.
But this had led to industry-wide yield compression, which had in turn
dragged airlines’ profitability.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “As such, we expect the other
airlines to take the opportunity (arising from MAS restructuring) to
lift fares again to more sustainable levels. Also, the other airlines
will feel less need to cut fares given MAS’ renewed focus on yield
management.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “However, the anticipated higher industry-wide
airfares would make travel more expensive and reduce passenger traffic,
and consequently, demand for BAC’s in-flight meals.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> All of these factors, said AllianceDBS, would not bode well for Brahim’s.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
“Adding salt to the injury, Brahim’s has to service a large term loan
which it took in 2013 when it acquired 34.3% effective stake in BAC.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
“The group has since refinanced the loan with a lower-cost term loan,
but we estimate the annual interest expense still amounts to RM11mil per
annum. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “This financial leverage will weigh on Brahim’s bottomline should the in-flight catering business slow down substantially.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Till then, see ya~ </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello again, </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">KOTA KINABALU: The sea curfew in Sabah’s east
coast will be extended till Sept 19 amid continuing intelligence reports
of that southern Philippines based criminals were planning to carry out
kidnapping activities.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abd Rahman said the 7pm to
5am curfew was necessary to maintain security in the area as kidnap
groups based in neighbouring islands were still planning hits in soft
targets along the border.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“We have also received reports that there was a possibility of them
trying to smuggle firearms,’’ he told reporters here Wednesday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said the curfew was also needed to check on smuggling activities
including syabu and other subsidised Malaysian goods like fuel.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jalaluddin said that tour and resort operators and also fish farmers
were happy with the curfew, as they felt safer with the restricted
movements at nights.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The curfew also enabled the security forces to carry out patrols and enforcement effectively.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said since the curfew was enforced, a total of 92 people have been
arrested of which 64 were caught for contravening the curfew order.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The others were mainly people caught without proper documents.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The curfew order covers six districts - Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Semporna, Kunak and Tawau.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello again,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">CBCSNEWS : <span class="time">August 8, 2014</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The United States Air Force is conducting an investigation to
explore recent allegations of cheating from its base in Grand Forks,
North Dakota. The Air Force has administered new proficiency tests to
its air traffic controllers at the base.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="time"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="time"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">CBS News has learned that
as many as 28 air traffic controllers from the 319th Operation Support
Squadron have been identified as possibly being involved with cheating
on their air traffic controller proficiency exam. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Grand
Forks Air Force base is home to 2,100 air force personnel, and 82 are
air traffic controllers. The base also carries 12 active-duty Air Force
aircrafts.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to an official press release stated late
this afternoon, an air traffic controller "possessed images of the test
materials" and then sent the document to fellow Airmen. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The base
has since administered an updated version of the proficiency test.
Those who fail the test are "subject to the standing procedures for
failing a proficiency test, to include re-training and re-testing
according to Air Force Instructions."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"It is important to note
that at no time was safety, security or effectiveness of the air traffic
control mission ever in jeopardy," said spokesperson Lt. James Fisher.
"However, as a prudent measure, those Airmen allegedly involved in the
incident are not being scheduled for ATC-related duties at this time."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The news comes as the latest of several military cheating scandals in
2014. In January, more than 90 officers at the Malstrom Air Force base
in Montana were suspended after many of the staff were caught cheating
on their monthly nuclear program proficiency tests, resulting in the
termination of nine overseeing commanders. In February, 30 sailors at
the Navy's nuclear propulsion school in Charleston, SC were also accused
of cheating on their written certification tests. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Due to the
demanding nature of this job, Yahoo Finance has ranked air traffic
control, or ATC, as the 8th most stressful occupation in the United
States. According to Lt. Fisher, to become an ATC, hopeful candidates
must achieve and maintain a Federal Aviation Administration ATC
Specialist Certificate as well as score at least a 55 on the Armed
Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Test.</span></span></div>

made against one of its planes travelling from Bangkok to Phuket on
Tuesday.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“We confirm there was a bomb threat against AirAsia Flight FD3003 on
26th August as reported and we have fully-co-operated with the Airport
Authority of Thailand (AoT) who handled the case,” Air Asia said in an
emailed statement to <em>The Star Online</em> on Thursday. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The flight landed safely at the Phuket International Airport (HKT) at 12.15pm, Tuesday. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The AoT said in a statement that HKT received a phone call of a bomb
threat against AirAsia Flight FD 3003 after its departure from the Don
Mueang Airport in Bangkok. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Upon receiving the threat, AoT confirmed that the Airbus A320-200
with 167 passengers, 4 crew members and 2 pilots, had departed at
10.55am from the airport. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“AoT then proceeded to enact its emergency procedures by designating
an Isolated Parking Area for the flight and dispatching relevant agents
to receive the aircraft,” said the statement. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A commanding officer at the scene led an Explosives Ordinance
Division (EOD) unit and other related officers to inspect the plane’s
luggage as per emergency protocols. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to the AoT, the inspection did not turn up any suspicious objects as detailed in the threat. </span></span></div>

</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“Initial checks have led authorities to believe the bomb threat was intended to stir confusion and harass travellers. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">KUALA LUMPUR: A Malindo Air flight OD1158 bound for
Penang with 37 passengers and crew on board was delayed for several
hours after the plane was halted due to a bomb threat before take-off at
the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Tuesday.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Malindo
Public Relations and Communications director Raja Sa'adi Raja Amrin
said the flight captain was alerted of a possible bomb threat during
boarding and as per standard operating procedures, the airline alerted
the control tower and the authorities.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said the plane, which
was scheduled to depart for Penang at 3.40pm, was taxied to a remote
bay to disembark the passengers safely and they (passengers) were
quarantined as part of the safety procedures.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"The Bomb
Disposal Unit conducted a thorough search of the aircraft and the
passengers' luggage and later gave clearance that the aircraft is safe,"
Raja Sa'adi said in a statement here Tuesday night.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said
the passengers, including one infant were provided with meals, and had
been transferred on another flight which departed for Penang at 9.30pm.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Assuring that the situation was dealt professionally, Malindo Air
stressed that the airline took such threats to the wellbeing and safety
of passengers very seriously.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya police
chief ACP Azmi Abu Kassim, when met at the airport, said the flight had
to be delayed after one of the passengers uttered the word 'bomb' to one
of the crew during the inspection of boarding passes.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He said
during the inspection, the man showed his boarding pass to the crew and
asked: "Kenapa nak periksa sekali lagi, bukan ada bom pun," (Why do you
need to check again, it's not like there is a bomb here,")</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Azmi
said the man was probably unaware that the word 'bomb' was a very
sensitive word in the aviation industry which involved the safety of
passengers and crew members.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"After being alerted by the
airline, our Canine Unit and Bomb Squad were rushed to the scene to
carry out thorough inspection on the plane, but found nothing.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"The Malindo Airline crew concerned who was asked to identify the
passenger who uttered the word also failed to remember," he said, adding
that the police were still carrying out thorough probe on the incident
to prevent untoward incidents. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello again,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TheStar : Friday August 29, 2014</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airlines has debunked a report by an
Australian news portal that described one of its planes as nearly empty,
saying that the London-KL flight was actually over 90% full.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The portal — <i>news.com.au</i>
— had alleged that the airline was “burning through its cash reserves”
to stay afloat and used pictures in social media by passengers showing
empty seats and check-in lines.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One photograph used by the portal
was by MasterChef UK 2014 winner Catherine Chin Wan Ping Coombes, who
later defended MAS, saying that Flight MH01 was full and that families
with children boarded first.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In an e-mail to <i>The Star</i>, MAS said it appreciated the support given by Chin.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The MH01 flight carried 464 passengers. MAS is touched by the ongoing
support of its loyal guests and it strives to provide world-class
service to all its passengers,” it said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Malaysians, who have been on MAS flights after the MH17 incident on July 17, have also come out to defend the airline.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Communications student Carmen Teoh, who took a MAS flight to London,
said her flights to and from the British capital were all full.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The Caucasian lady next to me seemed nervous and even stopped a steward
to ask why the flight route seemed to have deviated but it was all okay
in the end,” said the 23-year-old.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“If we Malaysians do not stand by our national carrier, then who will?” she said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">IT consultant Johari Yusof, 36, said his flight back to Malaysia from London three days ago was about 80% full.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“When there was turbulence, some could afford to laugh. There were also more foreign passengers than Malaysians,” he said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Senior manager Elly Yusof, 40, intentionally chose MAS for all her
destinations to support the airline after the MH370 incident and will be
flying MAS to Cambodia this Sunday.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Rather than ‘abandoning’ or
bad-mouthing our national airline in its time of difficulty, we should
try to support it instead,” she said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Daniel Wa, 26, who recently
flew to Cambodia via MAS, said he felt that the flight attendants were
even more caring towards passengers after the MH17 incident.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“They were more polite and explained to the passengers whenever there was turbulence to assure us that we were safe,” he said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Law student Lisa J. Ariffin said those afraid to fly on MAS were
“missing out on the experience” as the cabin crew were the friendliest
she had ever encountered.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Khazanah Nasional will announce today its restructuring plan for MAS.</span></span></div>

<div class="story" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TheStar : Wednesday July 16, 2014</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">LONDON: AirAsia has been named the “World’s Best
Low-Cost Airline” at the 2014 World Airline Awards, bringing the tally
to six consecutive wins of the coveted award by the airline.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">AirAsia also won “Asia’s Best Low Cost Airline” award for the sixth
consecutive year. The Skytrax World Airline Awards is the global
benchmark of airline excellence and one of the most prestigious
accolades for the airline industry. This annual global survey is
conducted over a 10-month period, covering over 245 airlines from the
largest international airlines to smaller domestic carriers. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A total of 18.9 million customer surveys were completed, measuring
standards across 41 key performance indicators of an airline’s
front-line product and services.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">AirAsia Group chief executive Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (<em>pic</em>)
in a statement said: “It all started with a dream 12 years ago. From two
aging aircraft and just six routes back in 2002, we have grown to
operate a proud fleet of over 160 aircraft, 95 destinations and carried
over 250 million guests. It is a great honour to be acknowledged as the
World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for six consecutive years and for that, I
thank our guests, whose valuable criticisms and feedback made us an
outstanding airline today and my incredible team of Allstars who work
hard every day to deliver only the best. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“In aviation, the one thing that remains constant is change and
innovation. However, such strategies are only successful if they are
supported by partners such as airport authorities. We invite them to
work as a team and help us to continue to be the world’s best.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“This year, we are proud to announce a comeback in the low cost
carrier market in Japan, with new partners and investors. We shall
re-emerge with a greater strategy and business plan in our quest to
revolutionise Japan’s low-cost carrier segment. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“We are also ecstatic with the grand launch of AirAsia India, our
latest affiliate committed to innovatively tap into India’s underserved
aviation market and becoming the obvious choice for low-cost travel in
India, via lowest fares and unparalleled service and product options.” </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">SEPANG: The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) handled a
record 20.3 million passengers in the first five months of this year, an
increase of 12% compared with 18.2 million passengers recorded over the
same period last year.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd (MAHB) Managing Director Datuk
Badlisham Ghazali said between January and May, the KLIA-Main Terminal
Building (MTB) also registered passenger movement of 26.7 million.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"This significant growth in traffic performance was due to the rising
demand for air travel, expansion of routes and increased frequencies by
both full service and low-cost carriers. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"We have long surpassed the original target growth in our business
direction document which was to record 60 million passengers, annually,
by the year 2014," he said in his speech at KLIA's 16th anniversary on
Friday.</span></span></div>

He said the tragedy of the missing flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers
and crew members, did not have a big impact on tourist arrivals to the
country as the Ministry of Tourism actively conducted promotional
activities for Visit Malaysia Year 2014.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Badlisham said MAHB also revised the target to record over 10 million
passengers by 2020 under its new five-year business direction.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last year, MAHB recorded 79.6 million passengers at all its 39
airports in the country which included five international, 16 domestic
and 18 short take off and landing ports, including 47.5 million
passengers at KLIA.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"This is a growth of 19.1% from that registered in 2012 for KLIA and the highest, year-on-year, increase since 2014," he added.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A total of 63 airlines operate from KLIA to more than one hundred destinations. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last year, KLIA welcomed seven new airlines, namely Malindo Air, Air
France, Turkish Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Iraqi Airways, Regent
Airways and Shanghai Airlines.</span></span></div>

<div class="story" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">SEPANG: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) retired the Boeing
737-400 passenger aircraft from its fleet Saturday night, 22 years
after it entered the carrier's service in 1992.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The last 737-400 series flight touched down in Kuala Lumpur
International Airport (KLIA) at 9.31pm Saturday, after taking off from
the Bayan Lepas airport in Penang at 8.41pm.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It carried 85 passengers and was served by 10 cockpit and cabin crew.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Capt Wan Muzainal Wan Mahazir, 42, who piloted the aircraft, said he and his crew had fond memories of the 737-400.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <img alt="MAS' last Boeing 737-400 flight on the KLIA tarmac.

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"It has been a good, memorable 22-odd years that the 400 series has been servicing MAS. </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"(We) still have vivid, fond memories from when we started our early
days training on the 400 series, 20 years ago," he told reporters here.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He added that the 400 series would be replaced by the 737-800 series, of which there are 53 planes currently in service.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">MAS chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the 737-400 had an exemplary safety record.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"It's like the retiring of an old friend," he said, adding that MAS
would be banking on the 800 series to ply the routes previously serviced
by the 400 series.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ahmad said the 800 series saves 15% to 20% more fuel compared to the 400 series, and could fly for five hours one-way.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ahmad said MAS expected to see more deliveries of the 800 series this
year and the next, with a total of 64 of the aircraft by year-end 2015.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">MAS had eight of the 737-400 in service before they retired it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Boeing 737-400 entered MAS' service in May 1992, and at one point
ran 54 of the aircraft, making the company the largest operator of the
model outside the United States.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Commenting on the 100-day anniversary of the MH370 incident Sunday,
Ahmad said the search was still underway and that efforts were ongoing,
by all parties involved.</span></span></div>
