Malaysian

Malaysian has been the global launch customer for the A320NEO but as Pratt and Whitney has not yet been able to fix the engine problem Malaysian will NOT order more A320NEOs with the PW1100 engines and will instead wait until the the CFM LEAP engines get certified. Malaysian is still considering switching to 737s and if the 737 MAX will be more cost efficient than those will be the choice said the CEO.

BLU today unveiled their new livery on the 7th 737-600 which we took delivery earlier today.

All Global Group carriers have had fantastic weeks and especially Panama Airlines which has been truly growing it's loads and the future look bright on reaching our goal of 5 million weekly passengers worldwide on our 2nd anniversary. Malaysian´s 767s will be replaced in the coming week with the last one leaving on the 28th of March marking the end of an era. Until then they have both been recommissioned to mobile cinemas flying around the world showing movies to less fortunate children around the world. Kung fu Panda 3 has been a success according to some of our guests.

After the attacks to Brussels Zaventem airport earlier today Malaysian has decided to cancel all flights to BRU from KUL and GFS who is one of the largest cargo carriers at the airport decided to also cancel all flights from BRU and instead put in non stop truck service to Liege and Amsterdam where cargo flights will continue to be operated without disruptions.

The Malaysian flight to BRU (MAA 2083) which is currently in flight as this is written will diverted to Amsterdam and the same schedule will continue to be flown to Amsterdam with Bus service to Brussels.

We are very sorry for what happened and we offer condolence to all families of the victims. We have send special condolence packages to the families of the victims offering them all 10,000 Unity dollars which can be utilized on all Unity flights. The CEO said "The Global Group is very sorry for what happened but we can not be stuck in the past. We will do anything we can to again put a smile on the faces of the relatives by offering each family of a victim 10,000 Unity dollars and lifetime Unity Diamond membership. This is the least we can do".

The CEO today released a statement on his private Twitter account regarding our future restructuring od the group:

"After having some loss making airlines I will be completely restructuring the Global Group. First of all SACA and GFS have liquidated because the changes needed to restructure them were just too large to have an efficient restructuring. I will not liquidate any more enterprises. Malaysian, Panama Airlines, BLU, new GFS and Pakistani will run large operations while new SACA, Argentine Airways and Air Iraq will run small scale operations but still add a significant number of destinations. Pakistani will only stay in the north and never move in to Karachi in order to not compete with Gorbi. I have given every employe a resignation form which they can sign at any time if they think this restructuring is wrong or too hard. We can not be the next Pan Am."

He states that a restructuring is needed and we will not be the next Pan Am.

This week we have founded BLU Connection which is based in the Bahamas but also operates regional traffic for BLU Barbados on crucial routes where the AN-148s are too large. 

BLU Connection is operated by Bill Lear Air which is founded in honour of the aviation pioneer Bill Lear who redefined the private jet. The CEO made the press announcement today where he said:

"In our effort to put maximum pressure on the Early Bird and Beobird groups we are starting yet another airline, this time in the Bahamas to put pressure on the dirty slot blocking business of Early Bird. This airlines is BLU Connection which temporarily tries out routes for a future large BLU carrier which will for once properly serve the Bahamas market and put the Global Group in the position of dominating Caribbean Airline with 3 large carriers in the area. This airline will later serve low demand routes for both BLU Barbados and the future BLU Bahamas airline. We soon realised that we will be operating mainly CRJ-100/200 aircraft and renamed the enterprise Bill Lear Air in honour of the designer of the CRJ 100 aircraft and the great aviation pioneer which he was. The airline still operates on behalf of BLU Connection."

One of the CRJ-700 and 10 of the CRJ-100 aircraft where the special Bill Lear Air livery, the rest all where the BLU Connection livery.

BLU also released a special Spirit of Sir Edward Elgar livery which is featured on a 737-700. Sir Edward Elgard means a lot to the CEO and he is his favorite composer and musician of all of time:

Malaysian is now the only carrier in Malaysia after the bankruptcy of Raffles Airlines. Malaysian has since the beginning in February 2015 been constantly been pushing on Raffles which as a result made Raffles achieve just under 65% SLF for the last months while Malaysian kept a SLF of around 90%. Even before the bankruptcy more passengers preferred Malaysian and in the last week before the bankruptcy Malaysian carrier 43 passengers more than Raffles.

Malaysian is now determined to offer over 15,000 weekly departures from Malaysian destinations and thereby 7000 weekly departures only from Kuala Lumpur. We will also carry more than 5 million passengers by the year end. In order to fund the quick expansion Malaysian has decided to return all except five 787s to their lessors and end most European flights, though the number of Australian and New Zealand flights will be enlarged. Malaysian will in the close future announce an order for new 45 787s which will complement the long haul fleet. In the coming two weeks the A321E standard fleet will grow to 100 aircraft and the A319E light fleet will grow to 50 aircraft. Because the A320NEO with the CFM LEAP-1A28 engines has been certified an order for 100 of them is not unlikely according to the CEO. If this order would happen then the A320NEO would once again be in service with its launch customer.

From now on all flights to Baltimore which both BLU and Panama Airlines operate will be playing the song "Good Morning Baltimore" performed by Nikki Blonsky from the fantastic movie Hairspray which is truly worth watching. The movie is now available in every seat on all Global Group flights.

All Malaysian flights to Bangkok will be playing the song "One Night In Bangkok" performed by Murray Head from the movie Chess in all 50 daily flight to Bangkok. The movie is available on in every seat on any Global flight.

Malaysian just signed the biggest order in the history of Malaysian aviation an order for 80 A321-200E and 50 A320-200NEO theese aircraft will be produced both in Toulouse and in Hamburg and will be used to expand and replace the Malaysian fleet. This order is signed due to Malaysian not having the possibility to wait for the A321NEO and rather wants to expand quickly. Though about 100 A321NEOs are planned to be allocated to Malaysian.

Indo will not be able to order any aircraft in theese categories until all aircraft are delivered so that this is in no way seen as cheating.

Malaysian has now cancelled all leasing contracts for the ordered A320NEOs due to the low demand and the current recession in the aviation market, theese aircraft are also not the perfect fit for Malaysian. In order to not disappoint the lessors IndoSky will instead lease them and fly them in the strong Indonesian aviation market. They will be used to replace A320s without sharklets and 737s. Thought the CEO pointed out one problem which is what to do with the 737-600 which still is a big question if this aircraft should be taken out of service or replaced by A318s or even Cseries. If theese routes should be operated by a subsidiary or purely franchised out? Or should the just be kept?

If anybody is interested in running a franchise in Indonesia, closely collaborating with IndoSky only please contact me and Indo will grant you traffic rights. Thereby you do not have to have a holding in Indonesia. Global Group will own over 50% of the company but will not be in control of it but could at any time switch ownership if unpleased by the direction the company is heading or if collaborating with competitors., this is due to the time restrictions of the CEO. This would be brilliant opportunity to learn the game.

Malaysia sadly shut it´s doors today after having completely cleansed the Malaysian market leaving no competitors. The story will continue with IndoSky and CBE Airways.
