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.

No wonder we got so many complaint of "misquote" from various quarters.

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.

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.

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.

it's a good start for the year of 2018 with these specials, and held few Mwings mini gathering in BKI for the first time since decade ago. thanks for sharing the photos of these remarkable history, especially Silk Air finally decided to send in their 738 for BKI, after 4 years. :drinks:

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.... :)

A350 galore - the two weeks of flights to BKI ensured that many BKI spotters got a chance to sample the new MAB Airbus. This one sent another MWinger, Waiping, to KUL....

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.

I flew on the A350 BKI-KUL. Flight time was 2 hours 2 mins on my watch.
