Hon Kit 3 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 As BG87 door closed, Pilot wave good bye to us and being pushed back for taxi. Final prep for taxi. And making her way out for departure. Airside team should have enough test shot to shoot her by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Biman is normally using either C2, C4 or C6 in the Satellite Terminal. If the active landing runway is 32L, the standard route would be passing on taxiway F in between the Main Terminal and Satellite Terminal.... seldom she'll pass near the cargo complex. You can access the 32L threshold area by driving along the perimeter road near it. Check google map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaity 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Thank you very much for the reply. I checked the Google Maps and saw the road is called Jalan Pekililing. Unfortunately I will be flying in from Singapore for just that day only and don't have a car or a driver's licence yet. Is it possible to walk all the way from MTB to the threshold area? So taxiway F is right in front of Anjung Tinjau in the MTB right? Would it be backlit during that time of Biman DC-10 arriving at 1750 on Saturdays. Hi Shahid, it will be a long walk ( I guess at least an hour ) if you decide to do that. You best bet is to stay at Anjung Tinjau for that DC-10. The place is OK without backlit.

Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 At the rate things are going ... BG will be operating the DC10 till 2054. Not that I mind. Just don't take them too seriously about retiring it. A bit like reading about Ethiopian's changes (latest latest but not latest) on airline route. Waste of electrons only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
