Radzi 2 Report post Posted September 11, 2006 Ever wonder why FAX is not a subsidiary of Air Asia, instead it is owned by some individuals that happens to own Air Asia as well? Reportedly FAX pays about RM 2 million per month (?) to Air Asia for ground handling. Remember also that unlike Air Asia, these rural routes need to be subsidised by the Government because oherwise it will not be viable commercially yet it is the lifeline for people in the interior. BTW, there is a FAX F50 based in BKI with he FAX sticker above the forward entry door. Anyone catch it yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaity 1 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Hi JK, nice shot of the short little plane. It is sad to see the plane fly empty. I don't see the point why it should fly since both ways also empty. Subsidy or not, wasting unnecessary resources. I have seen schools using recycle envelopes to post letters again. Yet, money is burnt this way to get subsidy. Sad, real sad. I certainly hope they have better answers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan Kong 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Emperor, I noticed there is a small hill in the background, can go there to shoot pixkah? or is it inside the airport area itself? if can, i wont be shooting through the fence already <_> anyway... here are some of the pictures that i managed to snap before we land in Sibu airport: view of the old Sibu airport runway... not a long runway but it can accomodate F27, F50 and Twotters... now college and stadium are being built on the old runway the big roundabout must be familiar to those who had been to Sibu After the roundabout, go straight to the airport way, take the next left hand turn and you will reach a small road like this... you may get some pictures from here oh yeah... landed on runway 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sung 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 As you can see from the photos, there are some MAS ground crew operating it, this is because FAX and MAS has signed an agreement which MAS will operates the aircraft in term of flight crews and ground crews for a year including maintenance and overhaul at Subang Airport and BKI. But then, recently, MAS F50 approval has been pulled back due to MAS no more owning them and FAX has to find other supplier or build their own maintenance facilities. Last week, FAX F50, 9m-mgd flew to subang airport due to some technical faulty from bintulu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
