Emirates to cease MEL-KUL flights as of 1st November

[wjohn]

Had a few schedule changes to deal with today, availbility search shows no more MEL-KUL flights on EK after 30OCT. Bit of a bugger.

I have flown that route a couple of times. It was great in that it got into MEL about 2am, so enough time to get home and sleep before work the next day.

Disappointing that it is being dropped, but the loadings never looked that high.

Might have to do a last run, for old times sake.

We could look at having a trip on the last flight...

Emirates Ends Malaysia - Australia Service in Oct 2016 :: Routesonline


Flight will now go direct to DXB at 6am ex MEL. Similar to Syd schedule but with B77W.

Might tie in to Emirates deal with MH.

 

[JessicaTam]

Hmm. Tempting.

Last flight in or out?

 

[zainman]

Please make MEL all 380 by taking the 777 off of this route!

Oh that's a shame. Loved the timing of this flight getting into KUL early morning allowing plenty of time to connect in Asia.

I would like to think so. Will give MH chance to do better between this city-pair

This is more against EY than anyone else

EY now have double daily MEL-UAE where Emirates only had one daily.

Umm, OK then.....

Umm, OK then.....

As opposed to taking one of the many redeye flights arriving at ~7am, I'm guessing?

Yep. I only live half an hour from the airport.
