Juergen Witte 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Just stumbled over the first photo of Berjaya Air´s new ATR 72-500. Just see: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Berjaya-Air...next_id=1499766 So, Berjaya´s Dash-7 era is going to end soon ... The first one (still wearing factory registration F-WWEC) will become 9M-TAG Edited April 25, 2009 by Juergen Witte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first one (still wearing factory registration F-WWEC) will become 9M-TAG Looks good The Dash-7 will be around for awhile I think as the ATR can't operate out of Tioman and Pangkor. I heard the expansion plan for Tioman is off and no plans for expansion of Pangkor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 Met a Berjaya pilot doing ATR conversion in SZB. They're supposed to take delivery of the aircraft last week, but due to some problem, they haven't done so yet. Not sure of the nature of the problem though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 With this postponement does it affect FY and MasWing's delivery as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the expansion plan for Tioman is off and no plans for expansion of Pangkor. Why would they buy these if they cant operate at these two airports. Any idea on the min landing/take off distance on a full load? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The runway length at Tioman is 3,254ft and Pangkor is 2,598ft. The runway length for ATR sea level MTW is 4,232ft. Edited April 29, 2009 by Alan B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case they should sprinkle some Atr 42 's into their fleet. Edited April 29, 2009 by jadivindra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yusoff 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) So where will they use the new aircraft? USM (Koh Samui) with 4724ft rwy length. Do they still fly to USM? edit: Yes they do.. Probably with spanking new aircraft, Berjaya is thinking of network expansion. Could be Phuket... Could be Batam ( ) ... Who knows...
