How do we progress?? --- meaning? the AK sake or the industry's sake.. Tamak! -- bit ironic..they didn't want to use the KLIA because they wanted to maximise their profit..had they wanted to use KLIA then there'll be no problem in airports,LCCT whatsoever..

MH 2625 BKI-LBU-MYY-KCH-KUL Remember this flight?always wanted to take this flight but never materialised.

Otherwise freeing up another seat so that it can be taken by a show-up passenger so they can get a double profit on one seat....3 words.. OUT-OF-ORDER...

Always love going to Soekarno-Hatta as the variations of airlines is vast, even though the traffic to and from the airports is always terrible during afternoon till night. Good photos there, keep them coming.

Good photos...how's the runway extension has gone now?is it near completion?

Still going strong this Twin Otter...wonder if MASWings will want to replace them with the Glass Cockpit Twin Otter..

It's Kalstar,mainly operating in the Kalimantan (Borneo) part of Indonesia.It's been operating for a few years now.

Haven't been to BKI in more than a year.think I'll be suprised by hw much BKI has changed once I got home this October.

I see at least 3 F50's and one is ex MASWINGS.Where are these dutch ladies going??

He blamed the rain apparently..just say something like 'hope the passengers are not shaken and am sorry for the incident but it was out of our control'...typical..and dissapointing..

@waiping.. Yup,my flight needed to be towed out of the pothole.the pilot tried using thrust power but to no avail.

Sam,just before the holding point,I got a photo but internet connection in Jakarta is bad right now.

My flight to KUL yesterday got delayed as our 734 main gear got stuck in a pothole.will upload photos soon..

Thus coming back to the point in this route tussle between AK and MH. AK's reason is fully economics,profits and profits.which is why they only want to fly big,fat routes. MH reason for not wanting AK to fly/compete on these routes-they've spent millions(hopefully only a small part of which is taxpayer's money) and years to create awareness and brand of Malaysia,only for someone else to come and ruin the price market. And,taxpayers money are used by MH(only if it's true) to provide social services.We all know domestic flights in Sabah and Sarawak sometimes fly on subsidies so that the citizens can get from point A to point B. So don't blame MH if they want exclusivity on certain aspects of this business as they have to juggle between profit,social service and promoting Malaysia,being a flag carrier for half a century.Something's got to give if you're juggling with these things,and during these times,the profit has to come later. Let me make things clear,I'm no anti-AK and I fly both MH and AK frequently,and I love seeing them tripping over themselves in order to compete for our(passenger) affection and trust.But I think this conspiracy theory of MH hiding behind govt skirts is quite absurd when they've provided me cheaper and better services time and time again since about 4 years ago.

Which is why they're contradicting themselves.. They wanted to built Labu but forced to stay at KLIA/LCCT but now campaigning of making KLIA a 'hub'. Sure KLIA belongs to MAHB,but why don't they just use the MTB instead of pushing the govt to spend more money building the LCCT,using what you called 'taxpayer's money'?

I'm sorry,but let's keep politics out of this topic. I can't understand the outcry by AK/D7 regarding this issue.They said of making KLIA a hub but which KLIA will it be?the LCCT or the KLIA itself? I'm sorry but govt spent lots of RM into the ready-made master plan of KLIA only to alter it due to the presence of a certain LCCT-which is built on demands from AK/D7,as if it's not enough for the govt to give in to their demands of refusing to use aerobridges in KLIA(and people call it white elephant,but if AK uses it will it be a white elephant),there's an outcry for routes. On protecting MAS or not,I must draw a comparison where AK have franchises everywhere eg.FD/QZ and the upcoming Viet-Air Asia or whatever it is called.MAS on the other hand,don't have these franchises to draw extra profits from.So you tell me MAS don't deserve some kind of protecting?

I'm not pushing it but,anyone with answers please?thank you

Anyone with exact dates when will this begin please?As my connecting flight to BKI is only 1hr50 minutes away from my scheduled touchdown time in KUL,but with both of my flights being MAS,I may be able to check in all the way to BKI,but I fear I will not have the time to visit the cathedral of plane viewing namely Anjung Tinjau..hehe...

And I'm flying back to Malaysia next week,to be greeted by Rapid Kl bus at the Sattelite??How unlucky..

Evry body laughed at AirAsia when they offered RM 0 fares in the early days...look at 'em now.my point is,criticism is easy as the onlookers are always 'smarter' than the doers.all the best Silverfly...

Hi everyone,quite a while since I posted in this forum,and quite a while since I've been in Sabah,esp KK.Really miss my home now.Anyone got the latest overview on the redevelopment of KKIA?

It's the world we live in..Desperate ppl look for loopholes everywhere just to get something out of nothing

I've recieved the compensation once...BKI-CGK flight was delayed for 3 hrs...They sent me my RM200 voucher thru email provided...

Was surfing seatguru.com for the best seats on MH A330,just realized that there's a possiblity of -200 or -300 series... MH 710 CGK-KUL Departure 1110---A330 Usually which aircraft type do they use for this sector?The -200 series or the -300 series?? Anyone?? THx in advance....

@Rayner...What's with the aerobridge in the 1st pic???Under repair or what??
