  1. My version of the Singapore Airlines Cargo visit to Kuching International Airport.

    Finally her turn to line-up Runway 25 via Alpha.

     

    Been quite a while since I last spot at KCH, seems to get lots of good traffic recently. Man, look at the size comparison of the three different types of plane, the legend 747 is massive! Thank you for sharing with us Geo, great shots as always.


  2. 5/05/2017; flying to KCH with AK.

    Will share few of them later

     

    Seems that both of us are regular flyers from SBW Tarmizi. I'll be flying to KCH on AK6469 12:40 flight on Friday. Perhaps we might bump into each other someday haha.. and thanks for sharing these pictures. Look like 9M-MXX is still there from the tip of its tail.


  3. Poor KUL. And MAHB still boasts about how well they're doing or have achieved. Ya, they managed to get Himalayan United Bangladesh Uzbekistan and other third world countries carrier.

     

    It's not that they dumped KUL altogether. By replacing the route with KA equipment (which is 100% owned by Cathay Pacific) they are actually doing smart cost management which in turn will give cost effective operation. KUL in a way does not loose anything as they are still collecting charges from them unless they reduce the number of flights, and airport charges on airlines are not based on the country's status.


  4. It has been a busy week at SZB this week!

     

    This afternoon saw the arrival of the Breitling DC-3 on its World Tour. The weather was not good and the light was weak. But we had a good number of spotters turning up to greet this grand old lady!

    Yup, she is indeed a classic beauty. Had the chance to meet this lady in person a few years ago at RAF Waddington (WTN) together with the first civilian blue and yellow jet team during the annual Waddington airshow...hence my avatar haha. As always great shots flee and thanks for sharing.


  5. AK5205. Wasn't monitoring ATC at the time so no details on what the problem was.

    KCH-PNK route has just been launched with the first flight taking off on 5th June. A dummy booking showed a fare of RM165 as opposed to Xpressair offering RM720 on the same date. This could spell the end of Xpressair in Kuching.

     

    This is actually a great news. Perhaps AK could plan more direct international flights from KCH to several other destinations to include BPN, SUB, HLP or even DPS and UPG.

    ..an early morning arrival on my return flight from KCH, flight MH3690 on 20/3/17. Begin to like flying in this aircraft although it felt a bit flimsy initially especially during take off. Once in the air at cruising speed it was steady as a rock even when entering some heavy storm clouds over Tanjung Manis. Am sure I will be flying in this aircraft frequently in the future.


  7. 'China Express Airline will make Kuching as its South East Asia hub; Beijing Glory shall manage two SEDC hotels – Damai Puri and Grand Margherita – in Kuching; there will be increasing connectivity for Chinese, Korean and Japanese tourism markets; Beijing Glory will take over management of some tourism destinations such as Bako and Mulu National Park; there will be rebranding of SEDC’s Sarawak Plaza'

  8. KUCHING: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) group managing director Peter Bellew has apologised to its disabled passenger Peter Tan for not accommodating his special requests and misplacing his customised wheelchair, among other things.
