At this moment, UL have at least confirmed on five narrow bodies and two A330s. Next two to three months, acquiring at least seven aircraft in the first phase.

Hi Aaqib, Is it good idea if Myanmar Airways flying YGN-MAA-CMB ?
Any idea what aircraft they’d be operating? They do have A319’s which would be a good aircraft to deploy

Finally a low-cost carrier from Bangkok.

I wonder what delays Fitsair's launch to Singapore as they have already sufficient fleet to expand?

KUL should remain on the cards for FitsAir….Bangkok (DMK) would be a good market to venture in to, not forgetting AirAsia’s strength in the region
Sustaining the above routes may prove to be challenging
Do you think Fitsair's plan of launching Bangkok affected after announcement of AirAsia resuming DMK-CMB route?
I guess Fitsair better speedup the launching of new destinstions quickly as it seems International airlines are starting to resume flights to Colombo Airport in coming months. What do you think?
Fitsair also better think about Jeddah route as its not being served by any Airlines currently. How Fitsair can make Jeddah work out with A320ceo?

What are your thoughts of Fitsair expanding into India and the Maldives with ATRs?

There is few routs to be fixed before this sector . SGN ( Vietnam ) MNL ( Philippines) can start via BKK additional flight and Via HKG . Also ICN must be daily flight . Also UL 364 CGK must extended to DPS - Denpasar , Bali with one hour technical stop at CGK

ATR’s seem practical as they have previously operated them…..in this case they should deploy them from RML to Maldives and South India

What happened to the plans to get 400s? They are much faster (over 100 ktas) and will be back in RML and turned and gone on its way to TRV while the ATR is still wallowing in the clag back from MLE They also carry 90 pax whereas the ATR tops out at 72 and then you have problems carrying all the bags
Any reason why they aren’t fully utilizing them unlike the other LCCs in the region which look for optimal utilization
