With the long weekend around the corner, I've decided to take a R&R trip back to Penang. The flight back on Firefly was a surprise to us as we were on the newer plane as compared to the Forker that we were on the last time we took a trip to Langkawi.
I must say that the newer planes are much cleaner and it smells very much cleaner. The last time we were on the Forker, the planes were very run out and there was a certain stench in the cabin. To top things off, instead of the usual refreshment carts being pushed on the aisle to offer the guest some drinks or chips for sales, we were served with muffins and orange cordial.
This is definitely a certain change that we can expect MAS to come up with being the "Community Airlines" to get through the current economy. Besides upgrading the aircraft, Terminal 3 is going through a major facelift to the new SkyPark theme.
The preliminary works done to the old terminal looks rather promising and it should be a boost to the domestic flights as I would think more people would prefer to fly from Subang as compared to the LCCT in Sepang. With proper marketing, it should be a big boost to the low cost carrier segments as the of its strategic location.
I certainly hope that the Government would continue to develop this property as it would be a huge savings for us the Rakyat as we would spend less on fuel to get there, probably cheaper parking but most important factor which is the accessibility.
The facelift works should be completed withing the next few months to a year and I'm looking forward to fly from Skypark in the future.
Till my next post.....
Cheers
