kianhong 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 I balik kampung (Pieter: going back to hometown) over the weekend. Went to spotting at WMKI for the first time to catch the only scheduled flight into Ipoh. Aircraft arrived earlier than schedule thus no landing shots and it departed on time too. I guess I shouldn't worry too much about my flight back to SIN city tomorrow. Waiting for pax to board. WMKI airport terminal overview with limestone hills and main range in the background. This airport has some pretty interesting instrument approaches because of its location in Kinta Valley. DCA Ipoh - WMKI control tower. Take-off roll. The fence!! Climbing. Some interesting houses in the background. Gear up! Thanks for viewing. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Vic ... yeah I am currently holidaying in Ipoh. I have no idea what's ETA of this Asialink F27 as she has been doing BTH-SIN-BTH all this while. I will monitor SIN departure flight board tomorrow and hope she will be on-time on this inaugural. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Update : I've got in touch with a representative from Asialink, apparently the flight has been postponed to first week of July due to "some unresolved issues with the Ministry". I guess better luck for me next time. <_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIR 2 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Update : I've got in touch with a representative from Asialink, apparently the flight has been postponed to first week of July due to "some unresolved issues with the Ministry". I guess better luck for me next time. <_> From ipohecho.com.my: Hardly two weeks after it was announced, the launching of the direct Ipoh-Singapore all-cargo flight was postponed “indefinitely” and, perhaps may even to be called off. According to a source, the Transport Ministry had issued the approval for the direct all-cargo flight, but the condition is that cargo can be brought in but no cargo can be flown out of Ipoh. Under such a condition, the operator Asialink Cargo Express (ACE) may not find it viable to operate the all-cargo flight. Edited July 6, 2010 by MIR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kianhong 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 From ipohecho.com.my: And what is this Ministry thinking about?! Some warlord tribe they are?! Totally nonsense!! When I spoke to the Asialink reps, I sensed the frustration dealing with the so-called Ministry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
