Greetings once more to all...
As for this moment, as far as the latest info i have got, most of their cadets will be from the middle east. No news yet regarding MH sending their cadets there yet. Rumours said that some of their principal investors are from the middle east, so no wonder their cadets will be mostly from that region. Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air etc....But rumour are still rumour. No black and white. Heard from some MAB Btu Airport Security guys telling me that recently a number of middle eastern/arab guys coming there. "Potential" cadets maybe. Lets see how it goes. By the way, DCA personnels were there last December. So, its more likely going to start up soon with all the rapid construction and development going on now. Bintulu is a nice place, with a clear airspace, and there is a longhouse just in front of the new airport. Interesting environment. Trees, and trees and many trees surrounding the airport area. Be sure to check out the pictures of Bintulu Airport at www.airliners.net or www.jetphotos.net. Please do check out their cadet pilot recruitment advertisement in the Borneo Post, dated 15th @16th February 2007.
