A Deep Dive Into The Fleet Of Malaysia Airlines In 2022

In years gone by, Malaysia Airlines had a much larger and much more diverse fleet of aircraft. Indeed, the airline had once operated the Boeing 747 and, more recently, the Airbus A380. Unfortunately for fans of those large jets, the airline has reduced its fleet size in recent years. On the plus side, Malaysia Airlines and its fleet of twinjets operate with greater efficiency with lower operating costs - an important characteristic for the post-COVID world. Today, we examine the 2022 fleet of Southeast Asian carrier Malaysia Airlines.

Never got the chance yet, but they seem to offer a decent product for very affordable fares. Their crews also come across as extremely friendly, very typical malaysia. As a plus, they have a small fleet of A350s that fly exclusive routes, so it’s worth trying to seek it out as an avgeek to say “I’ve been on the MH A350”.

[@arshiaseyyedshakeri890]

Only the longhaul routes are worth it. In short domestic and asian routes you're better off with any airline other than MH.

[@AR11177]

ive been on the Malaysian Airlines A350 From heathrow to Kuala Lumpur. Everything about it was really good. I dont see why people shouldn’t take Malaysia Airlines. And its really cheap considering if you want a Layover to Australia Rather Going Direct.

[@SojuPast3810]

Flew on their A330s recently. Not terrible but they are showing their age especially with other Asian carriers having 787/A350s to ICN.

Personally flown on MAS airline's Boeing 737 for FREE! it was 2020 and covid lockdown hit when I was at Vietnam. Malaysia took the virtue to bring back every Malaysian back to our home with their own fleet. Kinda suprised because despite being an evacuation transport, they still treated every passenger with good services and in declining financial stability Malaysian Airlines still made sure every citizen gets back home safely without any charge

Malaysia airlines is one of my favourite airlines (probably because I've flown them a lot), The A350s on the Heathrow- Kuala Lumpur route are great, comfortable, friendly crew, good entertainment, great food and a smooth flight

Hey simple flying! big fan here I just wanted to give a suggestion for possibly the next fleet deep dive video! So here is my suggestion "Air India". Hope you can do this airline!

[@Marley-po3tx]

[@kellyashpat]

I had the good pleasure of flying onboard one of Malaysia Airline's Airbus A380 between London and Kuala Lumpur. Unsurprisingly, that remains my favourite aviation experience to-date. Whilst this video covers the current fleet rather well, I'd also like to share, that many years ago, Malaysia Airlines used to pride itself on the quality, warmth and hospitality of their cabin crew. Unfortunately, that's a quality Malaysia Airlines seem to have lost in the last decade or so. Cabin crews on my flights in recent years haven't been as friendly, warm and helpful. In fact, I get better services from cabin crews of its national and regional competitor, Airasia. Hope it's something the airline can work on so that we can one day see a return of the spirit of its old tagine, MH is Malaysian Hospitality.

[@yslee1401]

KUL-SYD routes are now so busy. Not sure why Malaysia Airlines does not try to operate this route using the A380. Many transit passengers to India, China and Korea uses KLIA as a transit hub because its typically much cheaper than transiting via Changi

[@WafiyNF24alt]

Malaysia airlines didnt use A380 for KUL SYD because Airbus A380 very high maintenance so Malaysia airlines use A359 and A333, A332 only

[@yhfhdcf]

@@WafiyNF24alt no, the a380 is a failure. no one was dramatic or talked much about it during its retirement for most airlines.

6:18 London, Tokyo (NRT&HND) and Auckland (AKL). But the latter 2 are not always guaranteed to get the A350s, sometimes they use A330s for those routes.

[@FahroeIbrahim]

Fyi, “Mohd” in any Malay name is pronounced “Mohammad”. Is a shorterned version, used due to name registration simplification. At time, its further simplified to “M.” eg. “M. Ali”.

[@nurrizadjatmiko21]

@@idawan09i am afraid that's true because i saw it too

thats because the a380s are not good enough for airlines and are stored, they need to at least go to some flying for a bit or else they will sit there rusting and might not be suited for flying after a long time of storing.

[@alfitojanuardi8682]

[@magnustan841]

Interesting choice to remove IFE from their refurbished 737s and install tablet holders instead. Could this be a new trend for short haul aircraft on full service carriers, what with streaming services becoming popular? The airlines save on maintenance and fuel through reduced weight too. Is lack of IFE a deal breaker for travellers, even if these streaming content through airlines’ app, is available?

Surprising that not a word was spoken of Malaysia Airlines most famous and rather cursed flagship, B777-200ers most famous for, we all know why! Their intro into the fleet in 1997 was widely publicized and actually the longest flight recorded till around 2006 I think (MRA registered triple 7). Post pandemic and twin accidents the 777,747,380 long haul fleet disappeared and only the much smaller 350s, that too only 6 remain! Hope in the future they buy larger jets like the 350-1000 or the 777-9 or best of all bring back their 380s. But it's nearly impossible and practically non happening🙃

[@zakiasakura6481]

Unless they open new long haul destinations acquiring more larger jets are not feasible.

[@Win2User]

It's sad that they are now focusing on the Asia-Pacific region so Europe and American destinations probably won't come back

I'd buy those A380s if I could get them for the ridiculously low price of €1 each plus a share of any profits made from them for x amount of years. But in reality Malaysia Airlines wouldn't agree to that because my business model would be (pardon the pun) winging it.
