Waiping 12 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Seems like China Southern no longer charter but scheduled flight. Maybe can try to book online and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 Not spotting related, but apparently BKI will have inline baggage screening by year end I guess that will bring operations to what the airport was originally designed for and those clumsy looking glass walls partitioning off the check-in islands can be gotten rid of eventually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder whether they will take them down when inline baggage screening is implemented... we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Around 1130 on 6/3 I switch on FR24 and saw an A342 without flight info heading to BKI from BWN. I have no doubt it was to be HRH Sultan of Brunei's plane V8-001. My best bet then was the plane to do a few touch-n-go at BKI before heading off to SDK and TWU and then back either to BKI or straight to BWN. The previous few touch-n-go has always been to TWU and SDK since lesser traffic. In fact, was told that most of the TnG request to BKI tower ended up being rejected. So I drove back home to get my camera while keeping an eye on the A342. To my surprised the plane landed and parked at the far end of T2. As I approach T2, there were plenty of security personnel and some transport truck from logistic company. So I thought someone came to do some shopping. The plane's engine was left running as the personnel loaded into the aircraft. At around 1230, about 1 hour after arrival, the VIP entourage arrived, some 20 of them. Soon the plane was cleared for push-back and departure. Self-power push back. My son always do that when flying FlightSim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted March 9, 2017 No it was meant to be a joke. Yes the tug was available. Saw them having a discussion near the nose gear, then the bar was removed. Have no idea what they were doing at that time. Then the reverse was deployed. I thought they were testing the equipment, until they power up and the plane move back slowly.
