Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2016 PK-LOF was at BKI too today doing another round of China charters. Now back at DPS. Speaking of which, will there be a possibility for JT to pick up the slack left by AirAsia and start regular DPS-BKI service? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 BKI looks pretty messed up at the moment, presumably due to the torrential downpour I see outside AK1792 from SIN done a missed approach As have MH2638 and MH2640 from KUL MH81 from NRT been doing circles above for a while As has OD1012 from KUL MH2638 has now landed at LBU MH81 headed in same direction it seem MH2640 and AK1792 appear to heading to MYY OD1012 still persisting above, hoping for break in weather perhaps, which seem likely since it has quitened down outside for now AK5130 from KUL now joining in the party Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 MH2640 already at MYY, AK1792 touching down soon OD1012 going to join them soon it seem AK5130 has landed at BKI, place presumably cleared, business to resume shortly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Doesn't seem like the refugees at LBU and MYY are reawakening yet OD1006 from KUL now approaching BKI from south, I can hear the rain intensifying outside LJ61 (Jin Air) from ICN following in approach Both OD1006 and LJ61 already on the ground 9C8593 (Spring Airlines) now coming in from PVG MH2640 has now departed MYY for BKI it seem MH2638 stirring at LBU And I still hear rain getting heavier outside MH2640 making her way in now MH2638 departed LBU and AK1792 from MYY MH81D just departed LBU All making the final hop hopefully OD1012 also joined the queue from MYY Things gonna get plenty hectic/chaotic at BKI arrival hall soon Edited September 8, 2016 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 If it is raining, can they get off the plane? Will ground crew be able to handle the plane and risk a lightning strike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Incredible, MH2640 has just done another go round As has MH2638 MH81D doing circles over Kuala Penyu AK1792 and OD1012 heading here too. more in hope rather than anything ? Now we see AK1602 from CGK and AK6267 from TWU coming in to join the party One can only imagine the anxiety and growing frustration up there now I make that seven flights flying in circles/patterns off eastern Sabah coast waiting for the still unrelenting rain here to subside Also incoming are AK238 from HKG (already flying circles above northern edge of Sabah) ZE501 (Eastarjet) from ICN 7C2501 (Jeju Air) from ICN OZ757 (Asiana) from ICN AK5134 from KUL MH2628 from KUL Mercifully OD1012 and MH81D are now on the ground, rain still persistent outside MH2638 coming in soon Edited September 8, 2016 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I make it there will be 13 aircrafts in the 738/320/321 category congregated at BKI very soon, unless they are able to keep one or more of them looping circles in the air for a while (but for how long ?) Plus the rain has just restarted Pretty/Serene it isn't going to be at BKI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Firdaus Bolong 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I pity the crews and the pax. even the ATC. such a headache to contend with. and I wonder if we have enough stands for all the aircrafts. Will be demoralizing for those stuck at the airport/aircraft after such a long day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 I was also listening on 8/9 evening and it was interesting but didn't continue as it was getting late for me. Mr Director and the team at kinabalu ATC sure had a busy shift that night. Though the worse I think was in October 2014? Just before the Donggongon flood, it rained most of the time for 8 continuous days and the heaviest on the last. I can just hear the fatigue and frustration from the ATC crews, as planes do another go around thinking the rain has stopped but it didn't. Even the pilots were also saying it's been a bad week if i recall correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 CZ8693 (from Guangzhou), MH8805 (from Nanning), KA65 (from Hong Kong), AK5118 (from KUL) and AK5304 (from JHB) approaching BKI, MH2134 just left TWU heading here, and I hear the rain intensifying outside now Wonder if ATC is holding breath ?!
