Firefly's Flymail Super GT GiFT..

Thanks Firefly..as mentioned in previous posting link, I'm very lucky as one of top 15 members won Firefly's Flymail contest on last Friday. Tuah badan and rezeki awal hari Jumaat. So breaklunch tadi aku curi masa terbang ke Firefly ofis kt Complex A MAS Subang utk claim gift. Sampai je di MAS Complex A n lepas amik SZB visitor pass aku terus naik ke 3rd Floor utk ke ofis Firefly. Masuk je ofis Firefly, ada sorg staff tanya, "encik datang interview ker?". Hahaha..nak je aku jawab "kalau ada kerja kosong nak je di interview". Lagi pun aku dah lama bercita-cita nak tukar profesyen kerja n join aviation field plak. "Bukan, nak jumpa Mrs Shariza utk claim Firefly's Flymail gift" jawab aku.

So lepas signed pengesahan menandakan aku adalah antara pemenang bertuah n claimed gift tu, Mrs Shariza pun menghadiahkan gift goodie bag berisi 2 tiket masuk grandstand utk Super GT race 18 & 19 June ni kat Sepang bernilai RM100 setiap satu, 2 entry pass Super GT party worth RM50 each, 2 cards Touch n Go special Super GT edition, T-shirt n cap. Overall memang berbaloi hadiah dimenangi. After claimed gift, aku lepak lunch borak-borak dgn sorg member yg kerja dekat MAS di cafe MHub @ oneMH before balik ofis. Thanks again Firefly...

MaLaYsia AirLines's 1st A380 Enters FiNaL AssEmbLY

The first MAS A380 VTP arrives in Toulouse, France by Airbus Beluga.

Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) first Airbus A380 has entered the airframer's final assembly line in Toulouse. The superjumbo jet, which entered the line on 7 June, will have its front, central and aft fuselage sections, wings and horizontal and vertical tails assembled at the first stage. This will be followed by the installation of engines and tests on the aircraft's electric and hydraulic systems, mobile parts and landing gears. Final ground tests and first engine tests will take place after that, before the aircraft is flown to Hamburg for cabin completion and painting. MAS, which has six A380s on order, has said it is due to receive its first in April 2012. The airline is likely to deploy the superjumbo jet to London, followed by Sydney and Melbourne.

MaLaYsia AirLines To Join ONEWORLD alliaNce

Malaysia Airlines is to join oneworld®, adding one of aviation's most frequent award winners to the world's leading quality airline alliance. Malaysia Airlines was unanimously elected a oneworld member designate by the Chief Executives of the alliance's member airlines, at a meeting on the sidelines of IATA's 2011 World Air Transport Summit, which opens in Singapore today. A formal alliance membership agreement will be completed soon. Malaysia Airlines is expected to start flying as part of oneworld late next year. As it prepares for its alliance membership, Malaysia Airlines intends to develop bilateral links with a number of oneworld's established partners, who include some of the biggest and best names in the airline industry. It already code-shares with oneworld partners Cathay Pacific and Royal Jordanian. When it becomes part of oneworld, its customers will gain access to the alliance's truly global network. It will expand oneworld's global coverage to almost 950 destinations in 150 countries, served by a combined fleet of more than 2,600 aircraft operating some 10,000 flights a day and carrying 358 million passengers a year. Three established oneworld member airlines currently serve Malaysia, with Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian flying to Kuala Lumpur, and Cathay Pacific also to Penang and, through its Dragonair affiliate, Kota Kinabalu. Opportunities for expanding the alliance's coverage of the country will be explored as Malaysia Airlines prepares to join. When it becomes part of oneworld, members of Malaysia Airlines' Enrich frequent flyer programme will be able to earn and redeem rewards on any of oneworld's 14 other top-class carriers, with top tier members able to use any of the group's 550 plus airport lounges, and its network will be covered by oneworld's range of alliance fares.At the same time, frequent flyer cardholders of oneworld's established airlines will be able to earn and redeem rewards when flying on Malaysia Airlines. Qantas will serve as sponsor of Malaysia Airlines' entry into oneworld.

Malaysia Airlines Chairman Tan Sri Dr Mohd Munid Abdul Majid said: "The Board of Malaysia Airlines had targeted entry into an alliance this year. I am glad we are at the stage where the initiation with oneworld is formalised." Malaysia Airlines Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Tengku Azmil Aziz said: "With the world airline industry increasingly focused on alliances, we have carried out careful analysis of the options now available to Malaysia Airlines. The time is clearly right for our company to join one of the global airline groups, and oneworld is clearly the best option for us. As a company highly focused on quality service, we are immensely proud to have been invited to join the highest quality alliance with the best airline partners offering a global network that best complements our own. We look forward to completing all joining requirements as soon as possible." American Airlines' Chairman and Chief Executive Gerard Arpey, Chairman of the oneworld Governing Board, said: "Today's agreement with Malaysia Airlines represents another significant milestone in our journey to establish oneworld firmly as the world's premier airline alliance with members unmatched in brand and service quality. We look forward to welcoming Malaysia Airlines to oneworld." oneworld CEO Bruce Ashby said: "oneworld already features four of the best airlines in Asia-Pacific, including member elect Kingfisher Airlines. Adding another leading Asian carrier, in Malaysia Airlines, will greatly enhance oneworld's offering throughout the world's fast growing region for air travel demand." Qantas Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said: "Malaysia Airlines is an ideal candidate for oneworld, with its world-class reputation for customer service mirroring oneworld's own focus. Its Kuala Lumpur home will provide our customers with another of the world's best airports, geographically well placed between our existing hubs. Qantas is delighted to be serving as its sponsor in joining oneworld."
