        One missing. Yes, not great.

        One shot down. Hardly their fault.

        Move on.

        I've flown MH a bunch of times. Really good airline. Excellent service, great lounge. One of the best First lounges actually.

    Malaysia Airlines screens prayers before take-off

    PETALING JAYA: National carrier Malaysia Airlines says a prayer is displayed on its in-flight entertainment screen on all commercial flights prior to take-off. Its corporate communications department said this had been the airline’s practice since 2014. “It is displayed for 15 seconds. We have the prayer displayed on all the screens on all our aircraft before take-off,” the department’s spokesperson told FMT in a message over WhatsApp. FMT had also contacted low-cost carriers AirAsia and Firefly on the issue. Both responded by saying they did not want to comment on the matter. They were asked to respond to media reports quoting Federal Territories mufti Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri who had proposed that all local airlines begin their flights with a prayer. According to a Malaysiakini report, Zulkifli had said Muslims are encouraged to say a prayer before embarking on a journey to ensure smooth and safe travel.

    Better to fly Singapore Airlines.

      To be fair in both of these instances it had nothing to do with the airline itself. It's either pilot or external factors outside of anyone's control?

        Airline planned a route over Ukraine that almost every other airline avoided didn't they?

        • Techie4066 on 24/09/2022 - 13:08

          … the surveillance data showed that three other aeroplanes flew through the same sector as flight MH17 at around the time of the crash, … flights for Air India (flight AIC113), EVA Air (flight EVA88) and Singapore Airlines (flight SIN351). All the flights were under the control of Dnipro Radar. At 13.20 (15.20 CET), the distance between flight MH17 and the closest of the three aeroplanes was 33 km.

          …

          A single operator decided to stop flying over Ukraine because of growing unrest in the country. This decision was made in March 2014, i.e. before the armed conflict broke out in the eastern part of Ukraine.

          Insofar as the Dutch Safety Board was able to ascertain, no other operators changed their flight routes for safety reasons related to the conflict in the eastern part of Ukraine after this. This did not change after the Antonov An-26 had been shot down on 14 July 2014, which, according to the Ukrainian authorities had been done using a more powerful weapon system than MANPADS.

          Data provided by EUROCONTROL reveal that during the period between 14 up to and including 17 July, 61 operators from 32 states used the airspace above the eastern part of Ukraine. On 17 July 2014, 160 flights were guided through UKDV until the airspace was closed at 15.00 (17.00 CET).

          Operators - including Malaysia Airlines - assumed that the unrestricted airspace above FL320 over the eastern part of Ukraine was safe. This was despite the fact that the conflict was expanding into the air and that, according to the Ukrainian authorities, weapon systems were being used that could reach civil aeroplanes at cruising altitude.

            @Techie4066:

            Operators - including Malaysia Airlines - assumed that the unrestricted airspace above FL320 over the eastern part of Ukraine was safe.

            And the US Federal Aviation Administration.

            On April 23, the FAA issued a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) prohibiting U.S. carriers from flying over the Crimean region and portions adjacent to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. It didn't cover the air space where MH17 crashed. "This action was taken due to the unilateral and illegal action by Russia to assert control over Crimean air space, including international air space administered by Ukraine, without agreement by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)," the FAA said in a statement. Similar notices were issued by other countries.

            Another NOTAM was issued on Tuesday prohibiting flights in an expanded area close to where MH17 crashed—but crucially it only applied to operations between 26,000 feet and 32,000 feet.

        • UrMumsOnlyFan on 24/09/2022 - 13:25

          Incorrect.

          The doomed Boeing 777 was following an air traffic routing between Europe and Asia that is issued by dozens of jets a day and was in a section of air space deemed safe by international aviation authorities.

          "This was a very commonly used route and passenger jets fly at high altitudes over many of the world's hotspots all the time," said Norman Shanks, professor of aviation security at Britain's Coventry University. "They chose the most direct and economic flight route possible, which keeps their fuel costs down and is something we expect as customers. They were no different from any other international airline."

          MH17 was flying at 33,000 feet when disaster struck—well above the trajectory of missiles commonly used by militias in ground conflict, and high enough that its routing was approved by the airline's flight planners, air traffic controllers and ultimately the pilots.

          British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa and KLM are among the airlines to have used exactly the same routing over eastern Ukraine in recent days, according to website FlightRadar24.

          "Fifteen out of 16 airlines in the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines fly this route over Ukraine," Malaysia's transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said Friday. "European airlines also use the same route, and traverse the same air space."

          Another NOTAM was issued on Tuesday prohibiting flights in an expanded area close to where MH17 crashed—but crucially it only applied to operations between 26,000 feet and 32,000 feet.

          The pilots of MH17 filed a flight plan asking to fly at 35,000 feet throughout Ukrainian air space, the airline said in a statement Friday. However, upon entering Ukrainian air space, MH17 was instructed by Ukrainian air traffic controllers to fly at 33,000ft.

          "MH17's flight plan was approved by Eurocontrol, who are solely responsible for determining civil aircraft flight paths over European air space," the Malaysia Airlines statement said. "Eurocontrol is the air navigation service provider for Europe and is governed under ICAO rules."

          Had the timing been a few minutes different on that day then it could have been Singapore Airlines (or Air India).

          Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew told parliament that Flight SQ351, which was headed to Singapore from Copenhagen, was just 90 kilometres from the Malaysian plane — a distance covered within minutes by passenger jets.

          “As there were no restrictions for flights above 32,000 feet (9800 metres) or any information suggesting threats to aircraft at those heights, SIA, like many other airlines plying between Europe and Asia, had continued to use that airspace,” he said.

          Perversely, after MH17 Singapore Airlines put a header on their website and posted on social media that they are not using Ukrainian airspace. Fortunately for them, they are rarely mentioned whenever Malaysia Airlines is being criticised.

        Were you born after 2014? Also the airline was propped up multiple times saving it from collapse by the Malaysian government prior to the pandemic. It had no reason to exist based on its own merit. Downvote me as much as you want but I won’t fly this airline for free.

        • b0b0 on 25/09/2022 - 20:43

          I wasn't the one who downvoted you :(

          I'm a Malaysian who doesn't have much choice when it comes to flying home from Australia. Air Asia announced bankruptcy not long ago and left us with credits with conditions that we just can't use.

          I'm just glad that the government supported our national airline so we still have a full service airline to fly home today. MAS is definitely not a great company itself but I do think a lot of things were out of their control and I'm just thankful they are still around post-covid..

          May MAS continue to be unpopular but still somewhat surviving so that there is good enough deals for us Malaysians to fly home!

          • cheapcheapverycheap on 27/09/2022 - 18:51

            @b0b0: Oh i am sorry if i was a bit harsh. But i think MAS can do better. I wish you safe flights, sincerely.

    Just traveled with MH from MNL - KL and KL -MEL
    Reasonable price, allow to reschedule once for free, but you must book directly with them. I booked through trip.com and they asked me to pay more expensive than I paid for a new ticket.
    So I won’t use trip.com anymore
