TF-FIW parked at T2 for 2 nights after dropping off the ultra rich in Sandakan as part of luxurious round the world trip. Earlier she came in from Cebu. After Sandakan the tour headed to Jaipur.

Probably the result of route suspension due the virus outbreak.

Throwback Jan 2017, a host of VIPs including HRH the Sultan of Brunei flew in with their own metal to attend the wedding of then CM of Sabah's daughter. We were treated to a full house at terminal 2 including the B748 BBJ and 9M-III etc.
Fast forward 3 years later another wedding saw full house terminal 2 again. This time HRH brought in his newer B787 BBJ V8-OAS.
HRH the King came in on 9M-NAB.
Turkish registered TC-MMM from Sarawak with CM onboard.
N828TK dropped of an unknown VIP before heading to T1 for parking overnight.

I don't think feedback on social media will have any impact on the current administrations policies. In fact as of now it seems more like case of wait and see what happens next.

So what happened to all the expertise and experience from SARS episode previously ?
Well if he had said otherwise I wouldn't have believe him anyway. There were claims that private hospitals are turning away suspected patients and referring them to government hospital instead.

Wonder how is the load for flight, considering the return flight was rumored to cost RMB2600 one way?

One can only imagine the goldmine of an opportunity (PR wise) if that fleet of RMAF and chartered VIP jets had been deployed for the 'rescue flights'
Oh well, opportunity lost I suppose. After all, 'exceptions' are by nature a one off opportunity mostly
Maybe embassy personnel are involved?

The good start continues :-
LoongAir first flight from Xian to BKI. Some say it's charter but others say it's scheduled.

First proper spotting session for the new year. Starting off with a small mosquito.
9M-LCS formerly PK-LDG of Batik Indonesia. Probably roped in to as Malindo has allocated 1 B737-900 for charter duty to Japan since end of 2019.
Finally able to photograph 9M-VAA in good light. Been trying to get her ever since her schedule changed to afternoon arrival. Weather hasn't been kind until today.
The icing on the cake. Private jet bringing Taiwanese megastars like Lee Hom, Power Station and David Tao back to TPE after a private function the night before. Didn't get a glimpse of the megastars as I was taking the photos of 9M-VAA arrival above.
May this be a fruitful year for everyone. Cheers!

Well thanks MAVCOM for the 2 decisions in my favor for the airport tax claim recently. I sincerely hope that MoT's decision is right and really put the consumer interest in front.
It is like I can't just go to IJN now, but have to take a number at HKL and wait for my turn to have my case "transfer" to IJN.

Yes it's Tiger Reloaded featuring SQ as the new "parent". They started SIN - BKI around 9 - 10 years ago. 9V-TRB had the honour for the first flight which was also the airplane's first revenue flight. They were competing with Jetstar then but somehow seems like Jetstar timing and load was better eventhough TR was offering something like RM99 per way. Departure around midnight then.
I like to think that SQ still have faith in this route as compared to CX/KA that had stopped entirely.

Is M Jets somehow related to MBI group or M Express the courier service company?
-
It's back to the WX station 1 and 2. At least now there is less interference at both sites.

10 hours ago, Craig said:Applied for 3 weekly services. Most countries grant services based on frequencies whilst some grant based on weekly seats (e.g. Australia/India in Malaysia's case) and "units" (e.g. Indonesia). No idea what 1 unit is equivalent to.
