Condolence to the family of the fisherman who perished while rescuing the RMAF crew

Batik Air Malaysia sounds nicer too, compared to Malindo. Amd I agree, Batik Air livery needs changes.

Aiyaaa... how can I miss MKZ!!!

My 2016 Aviation Resolution : To fly into or out of Ipoh Airport (IPH), as I'm now partly based in Seri Iskandar, Perak. Maybe I'll try IPH-SIN-IPH. I have gone through all commercial airport in Peninsular Malaysia except Ipoh and Kuantan. As for 2015, I flew first time into and out of Kerteh Airport, on both Firefly and Malindo's ATR72s.

Could AirAsia X or MAB arrange charter flights from secondary hubs such as Kota Bharu, Johor Bahru, Penang and even Alor Star to Jeddah or Madinah? Agree. Umrah/hajj pax hardly choose their travel agency based on what airline they will fly. Usually their selection is based on price, hotel location from the holy mosques, religious advisory services (Ustaz/Mutawwif group) and recommendations from friends/family/colleagues. As for hajj, you dont get to select which airlines. Tabung Haji will allocate for you.

Why not focus connecting Indonesian cities in Sumatera such as Medan, Acheh, Palembang, Pekanbaru, Batam, Padang etc to Jeddah through KLIA2? They are nearer to KUL compared to CGK. And AirAsia does fly to these destination from KUL

CAPA have been reporting a lot on Malaysia lately. The latest is about Malindo Airhttp://centreforaviation.com/analysis/malaysias-malindo-air-part-1-network-model-emerges-focus-on-international-market-expansion--klia-259829

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Engineering campus took a long time to be built in the 1990s because Penang, Kedah and Perak insisted the campus to built in their respective state... and at that time, all 3 states were under BN. Finally they settled for Transkrian which includes parts of Penang, Kedah and Perak. And all this for a branch university campus. I can't imagine how much politicking there will be if a new airport is to be built in Kulim where all 3 states might again demand it to be built in their state.

How to know which Umrah travel agent is flying their customer to MED and JED using MH A380?

Truly agree.

Not so much. Pious, relugious or not, at the end of the day, quality, reliability, price, comfort and safety will be reasons people choose an airline. BTW, the route that Rayani intends to fly are already flew by other airline that doesnt serve alcohol onboard.

I'm waiting for the time when Perlis also will request their own fully functional airport... Subang to Kangar on ATR72 anyone?

I will be at LIMA15 on Friday... day trip, fly in early morning, fly out at night... who will be at LGK on Friday 20th March?

Waah... Butterworth is the place to be... to be exact, Telok Air Tawar

Even if there is no official regulation regarding prohibition of drones near airports, a simple common sense will say it is very dangerous. I hope even the RMAF will act on those involved
