jahur 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Past few weeks. Traffic frequency for the 737 a320 is gradually picking up. Widebody p2cargo charters days might be numbered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jahur 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Had the opportunity to get upclose with the Antonov 124 days ago. This is probably the first time i've seen this(Except in KLIA) along with the IL-76 in Kota Kinabalu. That leaves the AN-12 and AN-22 not yet spotted. Probably the only time i thought about having wide angle lens as this plane refuses to fit itself into a kit lens. 😂 Crew arriving ahead of schedule. With Volga Dnepr everything is DIY. Pushback tow bar, traffic cones, Wheel Chokes, Loads of spare tyres are brought in by them. Once it has been decided no pushback is required the Tow stick is stored back into the cargo hold. Aircraft did a 360 turn without pushback required photos here onwards are all video screenshots from my camera. With adverse weather coming in Atc had to prioritize arrival traffic first. So the aircraft took off behind schedule. As you would expect it even brough on a large crowd from the surrounding GA hangars and even avsec at the opposite end of the runway came out to spot its departure 😂 Another note if this plane was loaded it would've rotated right infront of Terminal 2 even with full Runway length in use for departure. But since it was empty with only fuel it rotated very early as expected. Early left turn to avoid weather. Bon Voyage.

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) 9M-AJY still circling up there, but it would seem 9M-MLS had had enough and making her way to MYY (?) to wait it out Edited November 4, 2021 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, saw a couple of people sweeping up that part of the runway nearby the right angle turn at Jln Selangor Felt sorry for people in 9M-MSB having been waiting (at least 20 minutes or so) at end of runway 30 only to have to backtrack along runway to return to terminal, together with 9M-RAR close behind Tough to understand logic why 9M-AQB was pushed back and made her way towards runway 30, even as 9M-MSB and 9M-RAR were already on their way back to terminal. Yes, she too had to make her way back after a while 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted November 4, 2021 I guess it will take quite a while to clear all the accumulated congestion - have to wait till the rain stop before they can even start repairing the damaged runway at least (it's still pouring out there as I click away .....) 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted May 9, 2022 9M-VVA just aborted an approach into BKI runway 20 - wonder what happened ? Very late too, I think just about over the Grace Ville area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far for 2022 foreign carriers in bki, scoot, royal brunei, jin air, air busan and recently jeju air have re-establish flights. Not sure if Air Seoul or Eastar jet will resume anytime soon. In the future with result of Korean Air and Asiana merging we would see Air Busan and Air Seoul consolidated into Jin Air, leaving it as the only main LCC operator along with Jeju air and Eastar. Another interested carrier is Tway Now waiting is whether PAL would launch its q400 flight into BKI along with Starlux. China carriers via its foreign ministry visit have informed state tourism that they would not return until 2023 Q3 earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
