Malindo Air review by Trish 2017-03-03

February 26th 2017, my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth with Malindo airlines took off. We took of during a thunder storm. I smelt something from inside the airplane during take off, I asked my partner what it was, he said it was just food. All of a sudden a passenger yells "THERES FIRE ON THE WING" and the left wing was sparking. There was panic throughout the entire airplane, the flight attendants were the worst I've ever experienced and hid from the passengers. Some even sat down in their seats and said nothing, they were in shock. I was absolutely terrified by this point. All of a sudden the entire airplane has an electric shock go through it from the top to the bottom of the plane, almost like lightening hit the plane. Then everything turns off for a second and another electric shock goes through the plane. The wing is on fire. no one is telling us what is going on and we are terrified. The pilot announces that they have lost communication with the airport and will be landing blind. We land, there is no emergency services. Malindo tried to shove us onto another one of their dodgy flights and we refuse. They promise to pay for our hotel and never follow through.
