Tony: Why AirAsia & X still send aircraft to MAS Engineering?

Posted on September 21, 2013

AirAsia A320 and AirAsia X undergoing maintenance works in MAS Hangar No: 5 in KLIA

AirAsia A320 and AirAsia X A330 aircrafts are a regular sight in MAS Hangar 5 in  KLIA.  It seems that Hangar 5 has been reserved exclusively for AirAsia and AirAsia X at the expense of MAS.

MAS had to send its own aircraft B737-800 for maintenance to Hydrabad GMR (MRO JV between MAS and GMR) in India, which was one of the failed investment of MAS.

On 28-8-2013 MAS 737-800 (aircraft no: 9M-MLE) had to be sent to Hydrabad GMR where MAS had to involve pilots and crews, turn around time and, more importantly FUEL COST.  MAS had to pay all all these unnecessary expenses. Yours is sure that if MAS is their own company, TUAN Azhari Dahlan and AJ wouldn’t have allowed AirAsia or AirAsia X to utilise Hangar 5.

This does not make economic sense unless AirAsia and AirAsia X are paying at rates that no other airline engineering departments could refuse.  Is this the case here?  If we were to go by AirAsia’s track record of owing airport taxes to the tune of RM125 million, which was paid in advance by its passengers, then it will be highly unlikely that AirAsia is paying above market rate for the maintenance works.

Why is the top management in MAS allowing such decisions to be made by Tuan Azhari Dahlan of Engineering Department  at a time when AJ’s so-called Business Plan was to cut cost.?

For background information, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has been quoted to  have said soon after the MAS-AirAsia share Swap was un-wound on 2-5-202 by YA Datuk Seri Najib, that AirAsia will NOT send its aircraft to MAS for maintenance.  With the current development, we should just ignore him and his gang because SPINNING IS TALKING TO THEM.

Tuan Azhari Dahlan, the highly qualified engineer in MAS
We have been told that this TUAN Azhari Dahlan was specifically head hunted during the height of the share swap.  He was from AirAsia. Of course, we are told that he is highly qualified in the aviation industry!

Tuan Azhari Dahlan is the last remaining employee that was believed to be specially head hunted by the then top management of MAS comprised of AJ, En Mohamed Rashdan Yusof, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun both from AirAsia.

En Mohamed Rashdan Yusof aka Danny, the whiz kid from Khazanah was the Deputy Group CEO or regularly referred to by AJ as his co-pilot. He was the former business partner of Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, the current MD of Khazanah, when they were both founded BinaFikir Sdn Bhd in 2002 HERE. Please read HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.

Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and his crony Rashdan
The BinaFikir’s duo: Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, MD of Khazanah and his former business partner, En Mohamed Rashdan Yusof aka Danny (now Khaznah’s whiz kids and expert in formulating share swap) and who has now been absolved into Khazanah again as … Both were the key players in the MAS-AIrAsia share swap

BinaFikir Sdn Bhd was the consulting company that was specially commissioned by Tan Sri Md Nor Md Yusuf, the present chairman of MAS, to come out with the plan to save MAS.  At  the time of appointment BinaFikir Sdn Bhd, it was just incorporated for a month or so.  Despite it was in its infancy, it came out with the brilliant idea of “Widespread Assets Un-Bundling” known as known as the famous WAU.  Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof would like us to believe that MAS was  saved  by BinaFikir’s WAU!  In 2008, MayBank was so impressed with its performance and bought it for RM8 million. The  current status of BinaFikir is unknown. May be someone get help to enlighten us.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes from AirAsia, AirAsia X, director of MAS until 2-5-2012 and EXCO MAS (after the inking of the notorious Mas-AirAsia share swap by Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar).

Datuk Kamarudin Meranun from AirAsia, AirAsia X and director  and EXCO of MAS until 2-5-2012.

Tan Sri Azman Yahya of SCOMI fame, was also a member of EXCO of MAS, director of AirAsia and MAS. He did not seek re-election as direcotr of MAS in 2012. He is also director of Symphony House Bhd.

At that material time, the top management of MAS headed by AJ has the benefit of the advice of the like of Mr Shane Nollan of PlaneConsult, Mr Conors McMcarthy, the chairman of PlaneConsult and director of AirAsia and PlaneConsult, the world famous consulting firm that deal with low cost caarier.  Aj should thank his lucky to have such brilliant personalities around him.

Under such circumstances, it boggles the mind why MAS was fine for RM10 million by MyCC for the notorious MAS-AirAsia share swap.  Until this date, no one from MAS or Khazanah has the courage to  defend the MAS-AirAsia share swap.

Two simple messages to Tan Sri Mokhtar, En Mohamed Rashdan Yusof, Tan Sri Md Nor Yusuf , En Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun:

YOUR COLLECTIVE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.

SILENCE IS NOT THE OPTION WHEN PUBLIC FUND IS INVOLVED!

The Parts 3 of the previous posting will be posted tomorrow.  Thereafter, Part 4. Yours truly regret for the delay because of the ongoing trial in court.

    the only logical reason that tony is sending his planes to mas for maintainnce is because at the end of the day he can move his planes out and put the cost incurred in Air Asia 555 buku hutang wih Mas..Accumulate ,Accumulate Accumulate monhs then years ………then minta discount in the millions to settle the debt.And the monkeys running Mas will accomodate willingly .

    The bloody clueless CEO pretending to be stupid. Is he trying to help AirAsia or MAS? Priority should be given to MAS aircraft not to the pariah. The pariah ahs said that AA will not send its aircraft to MAS for service. WTF was he doing now? Bloody liar and he has been taking the authorities and MAS for a ride. The botak in the engineering must be thrown out of MAS otherwise MAS will be sponsoring the pariahj.

    This lackey will just hang on to look after his pariah boss. This lackey will hang on until he has resolved all the maintenance problems then he will leave like the other Al Ishak, Rozman Omar, Shane Nollan. The pariah is fortunate to have that useless CEO around. Another Tak Malu fella. Kt is a sad day for MAS.

    Intentions of the Cancelled CCF……

    WCK, the intentions of the cancelled CCF are still being carried through and why has this et al being allowed to carry on at MAS expense? It has to be mandated by the BOD and since the BOD is toothless anyway, it has to be mandated by …..where does it stop?

    Meanwhile, the minority shareholders are not protected by the SC and the MSWG …..deathly silence…..where’s the much touted corporate governance in this country. And since this is not my first comment on the subject, ridiculous does not even come close….

    Why all the way to Hyderabad?

    Singapore is a lot closer!

    And the Singapore GLC ST Aerospace (part of the Singapore Technologies Group) has plenty of experience in maintaining B737s and Airbus A320s.

    They are fully qualified too, with US FAA certifications.

    And, if I remember right, AirAsia’s A320s were being maintained by ST Aerospace.

    You kata “Tuan Azhari Dahlan is the last remaining employee that was believed to be specially head hunted by the then top management of MAS comprised of AJ, En Mohamed Rashdan Yusof, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun both from AirAsia.”

    You lupa one lady in the PR Department.
    She was parachuted into the company when the position she was to slated fill was still occupied by another person.

    Danny & Tony know the story. This person’s brother is in AirAsia X.
    See the connection?

    She is still trying to make herself relevant – looking after only the BOD, at whatever expense and no accountability of spendings.

    Dig deeper. You will get gems of maklumat!
