BC Tam 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 I think the quality of news reporting at the Daily Express has taken a sudden nose dive (see also http://www.malaysianwings.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14959&page=19) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) A Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) Airbus A350 plane conducted its test flight from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) on Tuesday, 9 January. https://www.propertyhunter.com.my/news/2018/01/4565/sabah/mas-airbus-a350-conducts-test-flight-to-kkia No wonder we got so many complaint of "misquote" from various quarters.

Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Hilarious. The plane (9M-MAC) has been making familiarisation flights since 27/12/2017. The way it is reported made it sounded like it is the first flight MAC flew into BKI (well, the water canon salute too). Anyway, it's arranged in a way for the ministers and MAB's management team in that flight, and a press conference following that I suppose. Hence then it was reported. Still, hilarious. OCDN daily did report our state tourism minister was on board though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) The last two weeks have been a bit busy for BKI spotters, with MAB's A350-900 making its crew training and familiarisation flights to this city. Here is the last A350 flight from KUL carrying BKI MWinger Samuel on board touching down. Taxiing back to the terminal And here is a view of the airport from the air Edited January 15, 2018 by flee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 Unlike the previous 2 weeks or so, we had slightly better sunlight and runway 20 active. All these after the A350 is gone. Oh well, today first time ever Silk Air sent their B738 instead of their usual A319/A320. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 Good catch of the MI B738, Waiping - I think they have to eventually send them to BKI as their Airbus fleet is shrinking! Now, I wonder when they will send the Max.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeO 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 How long was the flight KUL-BKI onboard the A350? I think the farthest the A350 flew from Dec-Jan was KUL-BKI. KUL-BKK only about 1hr 45mins the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
