Kenny Sing 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2018 hopefully AK not going to launch and suspend Ipoh flight again. TF always complaining about Ipoh airport runway is too short. it had been extended with additional 200m worth of runway length but i'm not sure how significant that 200m will be.

flee 5 Report post Posted June 20, 2018 I think the runway now is around 2,000m - it is probably still too short for flights to destinations that are further away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Sing 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2018 true true. anyway it is still comparatively longer than Congonhas airport, by 100m longer. and at a lower elevation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2018 Lake Toba! Found a lot RM 101 return but snapped up very fast! That means 4 daily flight for KCH-SBW-KCH and the addition is AK9465/AK9464. Glad to hear that, and hopefully they could beat MASwings (since they offer 8 flight daily) Make you think why they are still loss making when they're subsidised to certain extent.
