Isaac 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Did anyone spotted any diverted traffic into BKI from HKG?? I assume there are some, now that Typhoon no. 8 signal has been hoisted due to Typhoon Usagi. Unlikely as they knew the typhoon is coming. So they are totally prepared for this. Even MAS canceled today's MH384 & MH385 (KCH/BKI part operated as scheduled, just the BKI/HKG sector was canceled). I suppose MAS did not want to take the risk of having its 738 stuck at HKG for days as this could affect its flight operation at BKI. The KA morning flight operated as scheduled though.

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Was loitering about BKI last week and guess what I spotted ? Old wine in new bottle - fantasy livery for sure !! Here she is in closer up shot I guess MH's widebody fleet renewal programme has some way to go yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted September 23, 2013 MH have four B772s that are less than 10 years old. Perhaps a decision has been made to retain some of the newer aircraft for their European services and charters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted September 23, 2013 The aircraft looks like A300. Hong Kong Express canceled flight and aircraft at KKIA before departure this afternoon 1635. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 23, 2013 The aircraft looks like A300. That is probably the fourth livery that she is sporting Now, if MH is to ever order the A350, I wonder if this particular model will see yet another extension of service life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) The aircraft looks like A300. Hong Kong Express canceled flight and aircraft at KKIA before departure this afternoon 1635. Yeah I thought I saw HK Express (or HK Airlines') Airbus A320/ B738 on the FID and wondered if it will make it back yesterday to HKG. Was loitering about BKI last week and guess what I spotted ? Old wine in new bottle - fantasy livery for sure !! Here she is in closer up shot I guess MH's widebody fleet renewal programme has some way to go yet Ah so here she is, remember I was asking the whereabouts of her a few years ago? I have always been wondering where she is!! She has another sibling with a cutaway section on the side. Just love the details inside! Did you see her sister too, BC? There is another DC-10-30 from memory, or perhaps the DC-10-30 model was in MAS' building office in KL.... Edited September 23, 2013 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, dunno where that one is nowadays I last saw a DC-10 model (wearing red/blue cheatline livery) at entrance to MAS admin building at BKI. That was many years ago, before the airport redevelopment Funnily enough...they did pay attention to other details...she comes with registration 9M-MTA.

Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 As all folks in Sabah would know, SESB will be carrying out planned power cuts across the whole state due to power plants malfunction at Sepanggar. Sabah Electric Sentiasa Blackout, you see. So coverage for T-WBKK4 will be affected. Still, there is F-WBKK1 ?at a different area so hopefully there is still some coverage, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
