    front-plane.jpg

    AN AIRPLANE mounted on a trailer was stranded on the Tampines Expressway (TPE) for more than an hour early yesterday morning, unable to pass under an overhead pedestrian bridge.

     

    The Boeing 737-300, with its wings and nose removed, was being moved from Seletar Airport to the airport emergency services training ground of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in Upper Changi Road, where it will be used for rescue and fire fighting training.

     

    The trailer, bearing its gigantic cargo, was trundling down the extreme left lane of the expressway at about 1am when it came to the bridge. It had to slow down and stop.

     

    Tampines resident Jackie Ong, 24, who lives in Block 492C in Tampines Street 45, just off the highway, said: 'The trailer moved back and forth but it wasn't able to pass under the bridge with the plane on it.'

     

    Finally, some air was let out of trailer's tyres to lower its height. The trailer then passed under the bridge, but on the extreme right lane, where the bridge is slightly higher off the ground than at other sections. All three lanes of the affected section of the TPE had to be closed during this manoeuvre, which stranded about 15 cars.

     

    A CAAS spokesman said hiccups are anticipated along the way when planes are being transported, but could not say whether the problem for this particular trip had been anticipated. She added that no damage was caused to the overhead pedestrian bridge, the trailer or the aircraft.

     

    Mr Ong, a director of a food and beverage company, said he was at first worried that the plane might not be cleared out of the way by the morning rush hour.

     

    The laden trailer was accompanied by a convoy of motorbike-mounted security officers, in line with regulations which require vehicles taller than 4.5m to be escorted by police en route.

     

    The driver of a vehicle which collides into a building or structure can be fined up to $5,000 and jailed up to two years.

    From TTG ASIA

     

    KOTA KINABALU – Air­Borneo is scoring a first and also giving the east Malaysian state of Sabah a boost with the launch of special direct charter flights from Kota Kinabalu International Airport to Australia, Japan and China.

     

    The state’s inaugural charter flights, operated on a Boeing 777 aircraft with 270 seats in a two-class configuration, will fly to Sydney and Tokyo, from November 15 and 19 respectively.

     

    The return from Sydney is on November 21 and on November 23 from Tokyo.

     

    The flights will be full service and include inflight entertainment. AirBorneo managing director, Capt E Leong, said the launch flights would be fam trips for a consortium of agents, major tourism suppliers and representatives from government ministries and agencies.

     

    “We are also looking at other destinations such as Osaka and Nagoya, Brisbane and Melbourne, Beijing, London, the UAE and Russia by mid-2009.”

     

    In December, a return charter to Osaka will be introduced on the 17th, and to Nagoya on the 28th. The inaugural charter to Beijing will start on January 24, 2009.

     

    With Kota Kinabalu International Airport as the hub, AirBorneo’s international strategy is to operate to destinations that do not

    have direct services to the tate capital.

     

    “This will compensate for the hundreds and thousands of tourists that we lose each year due to the lack of connectivity and convenience of flights to Sabah.

     

    “We also have a ready market for locals travelling overseas who now have to bear with long transit times,” Capt Leong added.

    Kota Kinabalu is now served by Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia, and foreign carriers such as Royal Brunei Airlines, Dragonair, Cebu Pacific, SilkAir, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines.

     

    These airlines, which offer a combined 107 flights a week and connect Kota Kinabalu to 15 foreign destinations, make the airport Malaysia’s second busiest, after Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

     

    As for the charters, AirBorneo will only sell packages through its consortium of selected inbound and outbound wholesalers in Malaysia and overseas.

     

    Advertising and marketing of these packages will be carried out by the consortium, and will be supported and assisted by AirBorneo.

     

    At press time, package prices were being finalised.

     

    Capt Leong said they would be relatively cheaper compared to packages paired with regular scheduled flights, and they would be on sale soon.

     

    AirBorneo, formed in early-2008, aims to become a short- and long-term charter flight specialist, offering point-to-point services connecting Kota Kinabalu to major cities overseas.

     

    The parent company, Borneo Bayu Management & Services, is also a majority stakeholder in the International Flying Academy of Sabah, which is the state’s only flight training centre.

     

     

    Very interesting... hmm...
