AK 6506 brings new life down from air!!

What an interesting topic rite....

Yeah, Air Asia brings a new born baby down from the sky... What does this mean? Let's check out in the following article which I had read through from a local newspaper in Malaysia named The Star.

SEPANG: The baby boy, who created national headlines when he was born on an AirAsia plane, has been named Asia Liew Ya Hang.

His mother Liew Siaw Hsia said the Chinese name ‘Ya Hang’ means ‘AirAsia’ in Mandarin.
“It’s the best name I can give my son who was the first baby born on the airline’s plane,” she said in a statement yesterday.

The mother and baby are currently at the Putrajaya Hospital.

Asia Liew Ya Hang was safely delivered on board Flight AK 6506 on Oct 21 when the aircraft was about 800m in the air.

The flight from Penang to Kuching was diverted to the low-cost carrier terminal here when Liew went into premature labour.

The airline has presented Liew and the baby free flight tickets for life to celebrate the birth.

So what do you think about this interesting articles?? Congratulation to Madam Liew Siaw Hsia for giving birth to a little boy named Liew Ya Hang in the mid-air of flight AK 6506 during the Penang to Kuching route. Once again I would like to say BRAVO to Air Asia for bringing the baby boy and touch down on the tarmac of LCCT.

Air Asia X : Malaysia's 1st A340

Hey there, here's another nice photos that I browsed and get intrested when I'm on the Airliners.net webpage.

Nothing much, its a Air Asia X (a subsidary company of Air Asia) which flies extra liong mileage than Air Asia. As usual, Air Asia X (D7) is also well known as a low cost carrier where it brings the motto of "connects Asia and Europe" a couple of months ago. So let's look on thier aircraft which they used to served its route.

Firstly, I would like to introduce this Airbus A340-300 which carry a registration number 9M-XAB. This A340 is the first A340 in Malaysia and this also shows that D7 is the first airliner in Malaysia to use this A340-300. This great red bird carry a tile "Xanadu" and serve the Kuala Lumpur to London, Stanstead route!! This shows that D7 is one of the connector for Asia and Europe in the low cost carrier's sector.

The above is the Air Asia X's Airbus 340-300 which can be seen is running on the runway 32R at KLIA. At the back are MAS's A330s and B777s

Malaysia Singapore aviation network seems bright

Here is one of the shortest posting for "Freedom Of Space"!!!

Regarding to the title above, Malaysia and Singapore will have a brighter aviation network starting from now onwards. According to a press in Malaysia, both Malaysia and Singapore will expand their aviation network with adding more frequencies in or out to Singapore. This will open more opportunities to the tourism network and these will including more new daily flights to 6 destinations throughout the whole Malaysia.

So, are you ready for the boost as well?? Let's wait for the further notice from both of the country and hopefully these will be a reality in the Malaysia and Singapore aviation network!!! Currently, the airliners of Malaysia such as Malaysia Airlines, Air Asia, Firefly and the airliners of Singapore such as Singapore Airlines, Jetstar, SilkAir and Tiger Airways are flying between these two country with a number of destinations and frequencies.

Jetstar Airways 5th Birthday Sales

Jetstar Airways is having its 5th Birthday Sales from now onwards!! Firstly I would like to wish Jetstar "Happy Birthday" in advance. Okay, let's look on what Jetstar will gives us in conjunction of the birthday sales this year.

Do you know about Jetstar? Here, JetStar can be said as a part of Qantas, national carrier of Australia. However, Jetstar (JQ) is a low cost carrier based in Australia. However, the first flight of sister airline, Jetstar Asia Airways had launched somewhere around 2004. This marked Qantas' entry into the Asian low-cost market and signified its intention to battle key competitor SingaporeAirlines on its home ground. Qantas has a 42.5% stake in Jetstar Asia's ownership and yet Jetstar Asia (3K) is also 1 of the competitor for Silk Air, a low cost carrier from Singapore.

Although 3K is another sister airline of JQ, but the airline still carry a big star logo at the tail of the aircraft used. The differences is just only the name from Jetstar to Jetstar Asia. The people are still call this 3K as Jetstar nowadays. Currently Jetstar Asia (3k) operates 9 Airbus A320-200 with 11 routes in South East Asia. Jetstar Asia aircraft feature leather seats with a seat pitch of 30 inches and free online seat selection and allocation. Passengers are required to purchase the food and drinks onboard with its programme called "Star Cafe" because its a low cost carrier just like the others LCC airliners do.

Alrite, now let's move back to the title again. 3K is now offering its passenger a big birthday sales. For the Kuala Lumpur to Singapore route, 3K will have a promotion of RM9 for its base fare and for the route from Kuala Lumpur to Darwin via Singapore will be having a base fare from as low as SGD 168. And yet, there are many promotional routes as publish on their official website. So, have a look on the sales & promotional page now.

Visits Jetstar's official website, http://www.jetstar.com/ for more information and details about the carrier.
