BC Tam 2 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 Is this what it's all about ? All set for B747 historic landing KUCHING: A B747 aircraft with a full load of passengers onboard will make a historic landing at the Kuching International Airport here tomorrow. The jumbo jet, from Kuala Lumpur, is expected to touch down at 4.40pm, shortly after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has toured the extended airport runway. “The runway, measuring 3,800m, is the longest in Borneo,” Global Upline Sdn Bhd adviser Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing said yesterday. Global Upline is the turnkey contractor of the RM850mil extension project. The airport terminal building has earlier been upgraded and extended. “The runway can now take the Airbus 380,” Ting said, adding that Najib would receive a certificate from the Department of Civil Aviation to mark the event. The certificate will then be handed over to acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. Ting said Najib would also open Global Upline’s Four Points by Sheraton Hotel near the airport. ......... read in full here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 MAS is offering el-cheapo fares in hope of filling up a jumbo load just so it can be proven in-situ to the PM that the extra bit can do what it was built to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) MAS is offering el-cheapo fares in hope of filling up a jumbo load just so it can be proven in-situ to the PM that the extra bit can do what it was built to do There was a time when MH Jumbo fly in from somewhere every Thursday and my office had a perfect via as it came in for landing on runway 20. That was about 15-20 years ago. Now even if you got the cash you can't fly Jumbo BKI - KUL. This is a chance for a very long time. If you can get on the plane it would be great. If not at least can capture the historical moment with your camera. Somehow B747 seems to be frequent in KCH than BKI.

Isaac 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 That would have been the KUL-BKI-NRT-BKI-KUL runs I believe (whoops, wrong thead !) MAS also used to substitute a 744 on the once weekly KUL-BKI-ICN-BKI-KUL run in the 90s till year 2001. After that it has always been on 333. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
