Airbus A330-300 Malaysia Airlines

1,964 CSTIJN  6 days ago

The A330-300 joined the Malaysia Airlines fleet in 2011, this aircraft (9M-MTI), joined the fleet in 2012.
I have had the pleasure to fly on this exact plane in 2023.
The aircraft survived the restructuring of Malaysia Airlines, after the airline had gone through some difficult times.

The aircraft is powered by the PW4000-100 engines.

On a personal note (you can skip this part):
As a Dutch person, we still miss seeing Malaysia Airlines around at Amsterdam Schiphol. Personally I am glad that Malaysia Airlines is making its comeback and I believe what many other Dutch aviation enthusiasts and people in the Dutch aviation industry believe and say “Malaysia Airlines will return someday”.

MH17 was a shared tragedy for both the Netherlands and Malaysia, it also came close personally, as I was supposed to be on that flight with my parents.
Just before we left the house, we found out that my passport was due to expire and we decided that we wouldn’t go.
A few years later, I was talking with one of my friends who was actually sitting at the gate before the flight but was told that they could be upgraded on the KLM flight to Kuala Lumpur, so they also didn’t get onboard.

To all who have lost their lives in the MH17 and MH370 tragedies, and to those at Malaysia Airlines who have sacrificed so much for the airline and its revival.
