RM79M on KLIA alone, i think it would be interesting to see how much it spends on the other airports in malaysia in comparison to KLIA..I believe that MAB should allocate more to amenities within KLIA, such as Newer TV's, Astro, More Shops, More Immigration Officers during Peak Hours, Better Staff Training (Some of those staff look and act like they havent been paid for a year and that someone just rudely woke them up...) and perhaps better baggage handling facilities... and the list goes on and on...
MAB and MAS would do well i believe to visit forums such as M-Wings, Airliners.net to learn about customer feedback on its products, and ways to improve its services...
Agreed. Or they just need to fly down to Changi to observe and learn. HKG would be good as well.

That may be possible. But bear in mind however most Asian currencies have been swinging upwards as well after the renminbi has been revalued. The AUD has also rallied today. As such, the appreciation of RM has to outpace these currencies in order for us to have a lower exchange rates with those countries.

Yup, and Mr TF confidently said that he'll be able to turn in a profit for Valuair in 2 months.

Thanks for the info Azahan.
-
No worries mate.

So, I guess Valuair may well be a true LCC then, no more free meals and all. Perhaps they may even stop flying to Perth, to prevent competing with QF.

Hahaha........Gav's cheeky here.
Perhaps I should go learn how to fly over here at Parafield Airport as well, where all the CX cadets are. And a few others I think.

Nice pics Azahan and Jonathan.

Will we get to see more pictures posted ?

Can't be anywhere as bad as Adelaide's International Terminal. It is in every sense of the word like the size of a Cow Shed. Small. It takes you ages to claim your luggage, ages more to clear through quarantine not to mention ages to check in as well. And when you have more than one flight arriving at the same time, the situation will be worse.

So it's like you need to drive a long route to get there heh ?
-
Wow, that was fast Gav. Thanks a lot.
Where abouts is this place ? How far from the MTB ?
-
I'll post some pics of this place in awhile .. its a really creepy looking placeThanks for that Gav. I'll check them out if I'm still awake or else I'll check them in the morning. It's 12.30 am over here now.

The services to HKG and CAN stopover at BKI right ?
-
we wanted to take the japanese guy to another place somewhere deep deep through some muddy trails and etc .. after coming half way .. he decided to turn back .. too hardcore spotting for him i suppose
Perhaps it was too hardcore then. Where is this "another place" anyway ?
-
I think you can try again. Not too sure.
-
Nice pics.
Seems like Azahan's shorts always seem to be getting its fair share of publicity.
-
How was the weather though ?
-
Nice Shots Gavin. Looking forward to see more being posted.

Happy Spotting

Read this on The Star online Metro North's section. Does it sounds like another publicity stunt ?
Aircraft-home, anyone?
BY CHRISTINA KOH
KAMPAR: Perak is considering a developer’s proposal to build a multimillion- ringgit bungalow project in Tronoh where house buyers will get a light aircraft to go with their home.
If approved, it would be the first housing project of its kind in the country.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said the developer had during a briefing in Ipoh on Friday explained that the 132-bungalow housing area would come with a 1.5km airstrip.
“Each bungalow will have a hangar to park the aircraft and pilots will be provided for those who cannot fly their planes.
“We will study the proposal thoroughly. We have to be objective about this,†he told reporters after attending the Tunku Abdul Rahman College convocation ceremony here yesterday.
Tajol Rosli said the project came with another proposition to set up a Carnegie Mellon University campus.
He said the university project would only proceed if the ‘aircraft home’ concept was approved, as the two projects would complement each other on a 200ha site belonging to Perak State Secretary Inc.
“The university, which is well known in the United States for its information technology, would be too expensive to set up here on its own,†he said, adding that five people had so far made their bookings.
According to plans, house buyers would get a two, four or six-seater aircraft depending on the size of the bungalow priced between RM800,000 and RM2.5mil.
With the aircraft, the house buyer could fly to any of the over 100 airstrips in Malaysia, including Subang in 25min, Penang in 20min, Medan in 45min, and even land in Gerik or Pangkor Island.
Tajol Rosli said the ‘aircraft-home’ project, if approved, would be one of the state government’s efforts to bring development to Perak.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, who was also present, said the ‘aircraft-home’ project was a good idea.
“If approved, it could attract investments to Malaysia and bring in people to invest in property and generate other forms of economic growth.
“This includes the service industry and technical support for the aircraft,†he said.
