Thursday 4 December 2025 has seen MH126 (A333 9M-MTM), the 0225 hours PER up to KUL airborne at 0305 hours. Gate arrival is likely at around 0832 hours, 37 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Unusually at lunchtime - off peak - there was a queue to take off from SYD on Thursday 4 December 2025.

MH122, the 1210 hours SYD-KUL (A333 9M-MNI) did not take off until 1300 hours. Gate arrival looks like 1832 hours, 47 late.

4th Dec MH377 CAN-KUL diverted to PEN due to bad weather at KUL. Friend was due to catch MH147 to MEL, rebooked on MH129 the next day.

Given 35 MYR food voucher and a room at Mercure Living Putrajaya. Would have assumed MAS would get them a room at the Ibis or Swissotel nearer the airport.

Tuesday 9 December 2025 sees MH148D, a 1300 hours MEL-KUL taking off at 1325. Gate arrival for A333 9M-MNM is showing as likely at about 1849 hours, 46 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Wednesday 10 December 2025, MH134 (A333 9M-MTM, the 0800 hours BNE up to KUL) took off at 0841. Gate arrival should become about 1446, 36 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

MH134 (Sunday 14 DEcember 0800 hours morning BNE up to KUL, A333 9M-MTM) took off at 0848 so gate arrival should be approximately 1458 this afternoon Malaysian time, 48 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

A333 9M-MTJ is operating MH251, the 2030 hours KUL-SYD airborne at 2120 mid evening on Sunday 14 December. Monday 15 sees arrival at gate likely at 0831 hours, 36 behind. This aircraft returns at a scheduled 1025 hours as MH250 so hopefully it won't be too late departing.

The PER up to KUL MH126 (the 0225 hours airborne at 0358 with A333 9M-MTC) should arrive at its gate at around 0915, 80 minutes tardy. The inbound only arrived 36 minutes late in PER at 0201 this morning so the aircraft lost time on the ground in what's a tight scheduled turnaround of an hour. Insufficient in my view.

 

[Melburnian1]

A339 9M-MNJ is on Wednesday 17 December operating MH129, the nicely timed 0950 hours KUL to MEL in the sky at 1040 for presumed gate arrival of 2145 hours, an hour behind schedule. The return flight MH128 isn't timetabled out of MEL until 0030 on Thursday 18 so in theory it ought be on time.

 

[Melburnian1]

A day later, history repeats with MH129 (A333 9M-MTG) likely to pull into MEL at around 2149 hours, 64 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

MH126 from PER to KUL on Friday 19 December 2025 is the scheduled 0225 hours that was up nup and away at 0327 with A339 9M-MNG. Gate arrival is likely at about 0849 hours, 54 late.

On Monday 22 December 2025, MH122, the 1210 hours SYD-KUL took off at 1243 with A339 9M-MNL.

It flew via Cronulla, turning back to the coast near Thirroul and then flew down to Wollongong before undertaking racetrack patterns above the sea offshore from Unanderra.

I assume it's dumping fuel and may be returning to SYD. It is flying at an altitude of less than 3,000 metres. @jb747 or @AviatorInsight may be kind enough to have a squiz and correct me if needed.

UPDATE: By 1355 hours, FR24 was stating the aircraft was diverting back to Sydney.

FURTHER UPDATE: By 1423 hours, it was back at a gate or on the apron in Sydney.

Monday 22 December 2025's MH147, the 2035 hours KUL-MEL (A333 9M-MTJ) did not take off until 0022 hours on Tuesday 23, so gate arrival becomes 1045 hours, 210 minutes behind schedule. This is its fourth consecutive badly delayed flight, with yesterday's 1540 hours CGk to KUL MH720 not arriving until 2250, 240 minutes late, so in the circumstances, it was quickly turned around for the Melbourne flight.

9M-MNL (see previous post) remains in SYD as at 0700 AEDT on Tuesday 23 but hopefully will depart back to KUL today.

MH126 (Tuesday 23's 0225 hours PER-KUL) took off at the unpleasant hour of 0403 so arrival at gate for A332 9M-MTY should be about 0926 hours, 91 late.
