Azran Osman-Rani mencuba perkhidmatan Pilihan Tempat Duduk Kosong di salah sebuah pesawat AirAsia X baru-baru ini.

SINGAPURA 10 Feb. – AirAsia X dan rakan teknologinya, Optiontown telah memperkenalkan perkhidmatan terbaharu kepada para pelanggan yang inginkan keselesaan tempat duduk yang dikenali Pilihan Tempat Duduk Kosong (ESo) bermula Januari lalu.

AirAsia X merupakan syarikat penerbangan pertama di Asia Pasifik yang menawarkan kemudahan dalam kelas ekonomi, pilihan tiga tempat kosong dalam satu baris dengan harga yang berpatutan.

ESo merupakan kejayaan kedua AirAsia X yang bekerjasama dengan Optiontown selepas menawarkan perkhidmatan Pilihan Naik Taraf Perjalanan (UTo) yang dilancarkan pada tahun lalu.

UTo membolehkan pelanggan AirAsia X menaiktaraf tempat duduk mereka daripada tempat duduk ekonomi kepada tempat duduk premium boleh baring (flatbed).

UTo telah membantu meningkatkan muatan dalam kelas premium AirAsia X melebihi 22 peratus dan hasil daripada naik taraf tempat duduk meningkat lebih 60 peratus.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif AirAsia X, Azran Osman-Rani berkata, syarikat penerbangan itu telah merevolusi dalam pelbagai cara dan pihaknya sentiasa melihat trend inovatif semasa bagi memastikan keselesaan pelanggan.

‘’Kami menawarkan mereka pilihan untuk membeli apa yang mereka perlukan dan ia bergantung kepada keperluan individu,” ujarnya.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-8949238470243036924?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/8949238470243036924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=8949238470243036924' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/8949238470243036924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/8949238470243036924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2012/02/airasia-x-perkenalkan-eso.html' title='AirAsia X perkenalkan ESo'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-4284050307164855326</id><published>2012-02-12T17:34:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-02-12T17:34:59.888+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Boeing 787 lands at the Singapore Airshow</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="entry-221978" class="entry-asset asset hentry" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; background-image: url(http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/aircraft-pictures/bg_entry_btm.gif); background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; width: 580px; position: static; background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;&lt;div class="asset-header" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; clear: both; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; "&gt;&lt;h1 id="page-title" class="asset-name entry-title" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 35px; line-height: 26px;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;LONDON, 30 Jan. - AirAsia X menyusun semula rancangan melibatkan sekurang-kurangnya 30,000 tempahan dalam talian yang dibatalkan berikutan penarikan balik penerbangan syarikat itu dari London, Paris dan India, kata Pengerusinya, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Walaupun kos bagi rancangan ini tidak didedahkan, Rafidah berkata, penarikan balik itu telah mengurangkan kerugian yang telah dirasai oleh perjalanan jarak jauh AirAsia X dengan meningkatnya harga minyak dan cukai kerajaan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Seperti yang dijanjikan, syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah itu mengumumkan semua penumpang, yang memegang tempahan bagi destinasi-destinasi tersebut, akan ditawarkan pilihan perjalanan alternatif tanpa sebarang kos tambahan bagi mengurangkan kesulitan yang disebabkan oleh penarikan semula laluan itu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Emel yang menawarkan pilihan tersedia akan dihantar kepada penumpang terbabit, termasuk pembayaran balik penuh, laluan semula ke destinasi AirAsia X lain (di Australia dan Asia Utara) atau berpindah ke syarikat pengangkutan alternatif yang ada tersedia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Rafidah juga berkata, sebarang kemungkinan bagi penyambungan semula laluan itu di masa depan tidak diketepikan kerana strategi syarikat penerbangan bajet tersebut bagi Eropah di masa depan masih terbuka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Justeru itu, apa yang akan berlaku di masa depan, kami tidak tahu, tetapi apa yang boleh kami katakan adalah pada masa depan yang terdekat ini adalah seperti apa yang telah diumumkan," katanya pada sidang media selepas menyampaikan ucap tama di Sidang Kemuncak Tahunan Majlis Pelajar Malaysia United Kingdom dan Eire 2012 di Marble Arch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Meskipun pembatalan tersebut, bekas Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri itu berkata, AirAsia masih kekal sebagai penaja kit jersi bagi kelab bola sepak London, Queens Park Rangers, yang dimiliki pengasas syarikat penerbangan itu, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Penajaan itu adalah sehingga akhir musim bola sepak 2012/2013.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Apabila penajaan kami tamat, lembaga akan membuat keputusan," katanya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mengulas mengenai laporan tentang kekecewaan pelajar Malaysia dan pengunjung yang kerap ke Eropah, Rafidah berkata apa yang berlaku adalah suatu yang amat malang dan dibuat berdasarkan kepentingan terbaik perniagaan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Apabila strategi perniagaan tidak menjadi, kami perlu menyelesaikannya, yang mana kami lakukan dengan memberi banyak makluman awal," katanya&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-2684825916156431997?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/2684825916156431997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=2684825916156431997' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/2684825916156431997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/2684825916156431997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2012/02/susun-semula-30000-tempahan.html' title='Susun semula 30,000 tempahan'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-8605597049762671170</id><published>2012-01-30T19:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T19:19:16.155+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Travelog AirAsia penuhi cita rasa penonton</title><content type='html'>&lt;img border="1" src="http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2012/0130/utusan_malaysia/Hiburan/hi_03.1.jpg" width="500" height="375" color="black" vspace="5" hspace="5" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;According to its latest airport planning document, Boeing has increased the aircraft's MTOW to 448t (987,000lb), an increase of 6t (13,000lb) from 442t (975,000lb).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Early freighter deliveries, said Boeing, have been certified at 442t MTOW and, after April, deliveries will reflect the expanded 448t MTOW. A service bulletin to operators expected at the same time will approve the 442t MTOW aircraft for operation at 448t, the airframer said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Boeing completed 747-8F and Intercontinental certification flight testing in August and October, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While Boeing said the move is not aimed specifically at regaining payload and range capability after a growth in structural weight during development, the programme has faced cancellations due to a performance shortfall of early freighters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings cancelled three 747-8F aircraft in September 2011 after "lengthy delays and performance considerations."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Additionally, Boeing's December 2011 update to its 747-8 and -8F airport planning document included references to the aircraft's operating empty weight (OEW) and max structural payload.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The document listed the maximum structural payload for the passenger configured model as 82.1t (181,000lb) and the pre-service bulletin for the 747-8F at 134t (295,200lb), which increased after April's update to 139t (306,000lb).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Further, the OEW of the freighter model was set to transition from 191.3t to 190.9t (421,800lb to 421,000lb), a reduction of 363kgs (800lb), while the passenger model was listed at 213t (470,000lb).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The figures were later listed as "TBD" or to be determined and Boeing said the removal was due to a further review of its catalog weights and ranges for the 747-8 family.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Boeing delivered a total of nine 747-8F aircraft in 2011, and is readying to deliver its first 747-8 to a completion centre for outfitting for a VIP customer in February, followed by airline launch customer Lufthansa in March, said programme sources.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-7782143507109053705?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/7782143507109053705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=7782143507109053705' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/7782143507109053705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/7782143507109053705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2012/01/boeing-increases-747-8-family-weights.html' title='Boeing increases 747-8 family weights'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-5635419110781144423</id><published>2012-01-17T20:20:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T20:20:53.116+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gantung bukan kerana MAS -Azran</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="ContentContainer" style="text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;div class="keydeck12" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal arial, verdana, sans-serif; padding-top: 5px; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 15px;"&gt;

(MAS).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Azran Osman-Rani menyifatkan dakwaan itu adalah serius dan boleh menimbulkan syak wasangka yang tidak baik terhadap MAS-AirAsia X.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;''Dakwaan tersebut langsung tidak relevan serta mereka yang membuat spekulasi itu tidak memahami dan tidak tahu apa yang berlaku dalam industri penerbangan,'' katanya kepada&lt;i&gt;Utusan Malaysia &lt;/i&gt;di sini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Penggantungan itu merupakan sebahagian daripada usaha syarikat mensejajarkan semula laluan untuk memberikan tumpuan kepada pasaran utama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Para penganalisis tempatan berpendapat tindakan AirAsia X amat menguntungkan MAS kerana syarikat penerbangan kebangsaan itu tidak perlu lagi bersaing, sekali gus berpotensi untuk meningkatkan pendapatannya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Tegas beliau, penggantungan destinasi London, New Delhi, Mumbai dan Paris diputuskan oleh Lembaga Pengarah berasaskan kepada kelangsungan AirAsia X.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Beliau berkata, isu penggantungan laluan berkenaan, sebenarnya telah pun dibincangkan sejak 2010, sebelum transaksi pertukaran saham MAS dengan Tune Air lagi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Azran memberi alasan, keputusan penggantungan itu dibuat kerana sudah tidak mampu menanggung kos minyak yang terlalu tinggi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Katanya, laluan di London misalnya diperkenalkan ketika harga minyak pesawat hanya AS$40 setong tetapi pada hari ini bahan api itu melonjak tiga kali ganda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;''Pergolakan di Mesir dan Libya pada tahun lalu telah memburukkan keadaan dan kehadiran 2012 juga masih tidak membantu mengekang kenaikan harga minyak.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;''Lebih buruk lagi pergolakan di Syria dan ancaman Iran seolah-olah memberi petanda harga minyak terus tidak stabil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;''Situasi terus meruncing apabila Eropah mengenakan cukai pelepasan karbon,'' jelasnya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Menurutnya, AirAsia X tidak mampu menanggung kos cukai pelepasan karbon kerana jarak perjalanan antara Kuala Lumpur-London adalah 13 jam berbanding Emirates hanya enam jam sahaja.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;Beliau berkata, tindakan AirAsia X menaikkan harga tiket sehingga RM3,500 ke London sejak tiga bulan lepas tidak banyak membantu kerana ia mengakibatkan permintaan menjunam antara 10 hingga 20 peratus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em; "&gt;''Tindakan kami menaikkan harga (tiket) menyebabkan ramai penumpang memilih Emirates yang lebih murah&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;font-family: 'Times New Roman';

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sejak MAS keluar dari Newark, syarikat penerbangan lain telah mencatatkan prestasi menarik bagi pasaran Asia Tenggara yang lumayan itu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Singapore Airline, yang telah membina rangkaian yang luas hubungan dari JFK di New York dan lapangan terbang Newark New Jersey ke beberapa destinasi di Asia Tenggara, melalui Singapura, kini hampir memonopoli destinasi di rantau itu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-8668228725137818706?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/8668228725137818706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=8668228725137818706' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/8668228725137818706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/8668228725137818706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2012/01/penerbangan-ke-ny-kerugian-mas-untung.html' title='Penerbangan ke NY: Kerugian MAS untung Emirates'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-2649794148741190009</id><published>2012-01-06T14:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T14:51:40.061+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MAS, Mastercard beri ganjaran pelanggan paling banyak belanja</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 style="color: rgb(178, 0, 0); letter-spacing: -2px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify;font-family: Arial, helvetica; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.1em; "&gt;

TOKYO 20 Dis. - Jepun hari ini memilih jet kalis radar F-35 buatan Amerika Syarikat (AS) sebagai pesawat pejuang generasi baru yang akan menjadi tunjang pertahanan udaranya, selepas kematian pemimpin Korea Utara, Kim Jong-il menjadi peringatan mengenai risiko meletusnya ketidakstabilan di rantau itu.

Jepun memilih pesawat tersebut bagi menggantikan jet F-4 lama yang digunakan oleh tentera udaranya selama ini, dalam urus niaga yang dianggarkan bernilai lebih AS$4 bilion (RM12 bilion).

Kerajaan akan membeli 42 unit pesawat F-35A selepas tahun fiskal 2012 bagi menggantikan dan memodenkan jet-jet pejuang yang digunakan sekarang oleh Pasukan Pertahanan Udara, menurut Kabinet Jepun dalam satu kenyataan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-3865758405748248547?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/3865758405748248547/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=3865758405748248547' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/3865758405748248547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/3865758405748248547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2011/12/jepun-beli-pesawat-tempur-canggih-f-35.html' title='Jepun beli pesawat tempur canggih F-35 buatan AS'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-2737697812179813248</id><published>2011-12-19T07:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-21T08:02:01.305+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Iran berjaya godam pesawat drone AS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2011/1219/utusan_malaysia/Luar_Negara/lu_04.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 307px;" src="http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2011/1219/utusan_malaysia/Luar_Negara/lu_04.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;





WASHINGTON 18 Dis. - Agensi Perisikan Pusat (CIA) dan tentera Amerika Syarikat (AS) menghadapi masalah keselamatan yang serius jika dakwaan seorang jurutera Iran terbukti benar.

Jurutera yang diwawancara oleh Christian Science Monitor itu menggambarkan dengan terperinci bagaimana sepasukan pakar negaranya menggodam Sistem Pengesan Kedudukan Global (GPS) sebuah pesawat drone AS dengan tujuan untuk menawannya.

Itulah pesawat sama yang didakwa oleh kerajaan AS telah mendarat di wilayah Iran pada awal bulan ini disebabkan kerosakan.

Pakar Iran dilaporkan mendapati kelemahan drone RQ-170 Sentinel itu ialah GPSnya dengan memeriksa drone-drone Amerika yang jatuh pada September lalu.

Berdasarkan maklumat itu, mereka memasang perangkap untuk sebuah drone yang menjalankan pengintipan di ruang udara Iran.

"Dengan mengganggu sistem komunikasinya, kami memaksa pesawat itu terbang dengan 'autopilot' dan di sinilah pesawat kehilangan 'otaknya'," katanya.

Pasukan Iran kemudian memprogramkan drone itu supaya 'mendarat dengan sendiri di lokasi yang mereka kehendaki'.

Jurutera itu berkata, seluruh proses itu semudah menggodam sebuah akaun Google.

Kajian pada 2003 mengenai kelemahan GPS menunjukkan tentera AS tahu tentang masalah itu sejak hampir sedekad lalu, dan jika benar sistem GPS RQ-170 dalam tangan Iran itu digodam, ini bermakna kelemahan tersebut belum dibaiki&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4260177589752715947-2737697812179813248?l=terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/feeds/2737697812179813248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4260177589752715947&amp;postID=2737697812179813248' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/2737697812179813248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4260177589752715947/posts/default/2737697812179813248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terbangdiawanbiru.blogspot.com/2011/12/iran-berjaya-godam-pesawat-drone-as.html' title='Iran berjaya godam pesawat drone AS'/><author><name>Acab Asyravin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01636465311397276561</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4yE-Z7jNxBM/ScGFQzbPzgI/AAAAAAAAABM/CVzCsRJDScc/S220/n1484936577_227669_8215.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260177589752715947.post-3122042795170309826</id><published>2011-12-14T23:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T23:49:02.950+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Malaysia Airlines cuts routes as planned</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, 'trebuchet ms', verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;Malaysia Airlines has confirmed that it will be cancelling its flights to Buenos Aires, South Africa, Karachi and more, as planned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: arial, 'trebuchet ms', verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt; The affected services are&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: arial, 'trebuchet ms', verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="intro"&gt;PETALING JAYA 7 Dis. - Malaysia Airlines System Bhd. (MAS) yang rugi berturut-turut sepanjang tiga suku tahun 2011, kini 'kritikal' sehingga perlu menggantung rangkaian laluannya untuk mencapai aspirasi keuntungan menjelang 2013.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Penggantungan laluan yang terkandung dalam Pelan Pemulihan Perniagaan MAS yang diumumkan hari ini, terpaksa dilakukan kerana syarikat penerbangan itu hanya mempunyai tunai sebanyak RM1 bilion yang cukup sehingga tahun depan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya berkata, langkah yang tidak popular itu perlu dibuat, bukan hanya untuk mengembalikan keuntungan MAS tetapi menyenaraikan MAS semula dalam 10 kedudukan senarai syarikat penerbangan terbaik dunia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Antara laluan yang telah menyumbangkan kerugian sebanyak 40 peratus kepada MAS ialah Cape Town, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires serta Dubai dan ia berkuat kuasa pada awal 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Beliau berkata, beberapa laluan lain yang bakal digantung akan diumumkan kemudian selepas ia dimuktamadkan nanti dan tidak menolak beberapa laluan Eropah seperti Frankfurt dan Rom juga sedang diteliti.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''MAS tiada pilihan lain terpaksa 'mengecut' operasinya untuk berkembang dan paling penting syarikat penerbangan itu perlu dikeluarkan daripada situasi sukar supaya ia boleh berkembang semula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Kami hanya mahu memberi keutamaan kepada perniagaan teras sahaja dengan mengambil kira MAS perlu mempunyai saiz yang betul untuk meneruskan kelangsungan MAS pada masa depan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Pengurangan tempat duduk tersedia setiap kilometer (ASK) kira-kira 12 peratus dijangka mampu menjimatkan antara RM220 juta hingga RM302 juta pada tahun depan,'' katanya pada sidang akhbar pertamanya selepas dilantik menerajui MAS di sini hari ini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hadir sama ialah Timbalan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MAS, Mohammed Rashdan Yusof.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dengan pelan pemulihan itu, MAS akan menjadi penerbangan premium serantau yang menumpukan laluan yang mendapat permintaan tinggi seperti Manila, Jakarta dan Narita.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Beliau menafikan MAS bakal bersaing dengan AirAsia Bhd. (AirAsia) kerana penerbangan premium menawarkan kelas perniagaan dan perkhidmatan penuh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ahmad Jauhari berkata, kakitangan MAS yang terlibat dalam penggantungan laluan akan ditempatkan di anak-anak syarikatnya bukan teras.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Kakitangan tidak mempunyai pilihan lain (untuk tidak menerimanya) kerana MAS mempunyai aliran kewangan terhad, sambil menyifatkan keadaan semasa MAS adalah lebih teruk berbanding ketika kerugian sebelum ini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Pemberhentian kerja secara sukarela (VSS) adalah pilihan terakhir yang kami akan buat,'' katanya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ahmad Jauhari menambah, tindakan kedua dalam pemulihan itu ialah memenangi semula hati penumpang MAS melalui penerimaan 23 pesawat baharu pada 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tegasnya, penggunaan pesawat baharu adalah kritikal kerana antara faktor-faktor yang menyumbang kepada penyusutan pelanggan adalah penggunaan pesawat yang lama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Katanya, meskipun MAS memiliki krew kabin terbaik dunia namun persaingan hebat penggunaan pesawat baharu oleh syarikat-syarikat penerbangan khususnya dari Timur Tengah memberi kesan kepada MAS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Kami menjangkakan pesawat baharu mampu memperbaiki pengurusan pendapatan dan jualan taktikal dengan mengoptimumkan hasil antara RM394 juta hingga RM477 juta,'' kata beliau.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tindakan ketiga adalah memberikan tumpuan terhadap pengurangan kos melalui simpanan yang diperoleh daripada penjimatan kos tetap, pemerolehan dan program pembaikan produktiviti yang menyumbang antara RM309 juta hingga RM392 juta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mohammed Rashdan berkata, pelan pemulihan yang dirangka itu mampu mengurangkan kerugian MAS pada tahun depan dengan unjuran aspirasi asas kes sebanyak RM165 juta dan sasaran dilanjutkan RM238 juta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;''Kami mahu mengekalkan tahap peningkatan keuntungan dan menjana keuntungan selepas cukai sebanyak RM900 juta pada 2016,'' jelasnya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
