Sharil Abdul Rahman 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Just want to report sightings after a trip to Singapore. Saw what i presumably XXA at the SAE hangar - some maintainence work? I also saw what i think is XAA at a remote stand, where the Lion 747 used to park. Saw 1L open, but didnt see any stairs connected there. Also saw the 727 minyak masak and 727 transmile hanging infront of the MAS Cargo apron. BTW, the construction near the aero-train is i think for the extention of the aero-train line, because i saw the Y-columns that they used to make the aerotrain line being set , with re-bars still sticking out of it. One last sad story - Jalan pekeliling is now officially closed from the bunga raya side. Bye Bye plane hunting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 With the "security concern" as well as closures of spotting places around KUL, it is bye-bye to KUL spotting. It has been a good period, 2003-2009. Thanks for the memories and friendship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 Yeah. Time to rethink about next year's anniversary gathering. MalaysianWings but no spotting in KLIA is a bit hard to bear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joseph Foong 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 This is really a sad news for me, becuase my last visited that place is on 2006-2008, but now it seems i never have a oppurturity to spot these metal bird's landing or take-offs at that place anymore, hopefully they only closed for temporary and not for permanents..

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 I believe permanently closed from 1-Jan-10. Yes, as per notice which appeared in yesterday's New Straits Times: Malaysia Airports would like to inform that Jalan Pekeliling - West Side through Kompleks Bunga Raya heading to the LCCT-KLIA will be closed effective from 1 January 2010. We will be commencing the new terminal construction works and this route is part of the project site. We regret any inconvinience caused and Malaysia Airports looks forward to serving you better in the future. Thank You !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 Now I wonder how does it affect travelling between MTB and LCCT? Jalan Pekeliling is the nearest route, right? So bus fare will go up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
