In memory of B737-400 operations in Malaysia: Thank You B734 (1992-2014)

Yesterday (14/06/2014), another chapter in Malaysian aviation history comes to an end. Malaysia Airlines officially retires its Boeing 737-400 aircraft from their fleet, after 22 years of faithful service to Malaysia.

The history of Boeing 737-400 in Malaysia began in May 1992, where at one point, MH operates 54 B734s, making it the biggest operator outside of United States.

The final flight was celebrated with the water canon salute, to honor the flight. It was piloted by Captain Wan Muzainal Wan Mahazir, and 9 crews. 85 passengers was onboard the aircraft, including fellow blogger Azuan Ahmad Zahdi.

Below are the photos of the B734 snapped by me throughout the years:












The last 2 photos was snapped at Langkawi International Airport, a memorable experience for me.

To the B734, We thank you for your 22 years of faithful service to our beloved nation. She was replaced by newer generation of the Boeing 737, the Boeing 737-800.
