Roszaimy 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 I was back from Tioman, drove my friend to KUA since he's flying back to KUL. I saw there was a CI flight scheduled to arrive in KUA around noon from TPE and depart back to TPE about 1.5 hour after arrival. I didn't stay at KUA long enough because I had to return back to Terengganu. 2 possibilities: #1: A charter flight for Taiwanese to Club Med Cherating? #2: Reroute due to haze? Anyone?

Norman 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Possible #1 'cos #2 is not possible... no more haze and normally KUL's alternates either PEN, LGK or SIN for those international flights....KUA??? hmmm... -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Ngu 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Maybe it's #1. And the aircraft should be B738. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 I've seen them before, charter flights from Taiwan. And no, KUA is never an alternate because it is a no-fuel station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 It would be nice if KUA got some international traffic too since its such a popular destination now for tourist and holidaymakers. Perhaps in my dreams : CI (TPE-KUA-TPE) B738 2x weekly AO (MEL-SIN-KUA) B767 2x weekly EK (DXB-KUA-CGK) A332 1x weekly JL (NRT-KUA-NRT) B767 1x weekly MH (KUA-SIN-KUA) B734 3x weekly MH (KUA-TIO-KUA) B734 7x weekly MH (KUA-KCH-KUA) B734 7x weekly MH (KUA-PEN-LGK) B734 7x weekly Ok the list can go on and on.............................................................................

Although the pilots might have to break hard and use the reversers to the max...it will still stop before smashing off the runway.... Anyways...this is a fantasy what....we can dream rite...

Over the past 15 years or so I don't think KUA ever had MH service to anywhere but KUL/SZB. During the days of Pelangi Air, they had SZB-TOD-KUA-TOD-SZB and Silk Air also briefly served KUA in the 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roszaimy 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2005 IMHO, KUA is way too close to KUL, to me it is a similar case with IPH, which is about 2-3 hours driving from KL. KUA is lucky enough to have scheduled flight from KUL. PEN? JB? I think not enough load. Moreover, from my observation, a lot of my friends here in Kerteh do fly on business trips to KUL from KUA, that may already take about 50% of the passenger. Leisure travellers usually take the 4-hour express bus from KL, or drive, me think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I want to spend a few hours in the relatively quiet KUA just for the China Airlines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bing Chu 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2005 Capt R or anyone else in the know, How many and what other airports are there that are "no-fuel station"(s) I believe that even the remote airfields in the ulu of Malaysian Borneo have got fuel, why not KUA ? Which leads to the question, how do they get fuel (jet A1?) to places like Bario, Marudi and the like ? Must be a logistical nightmare ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2013 KUA now has a daily FY flight to Singapore, thrice daily MH flights to KUL and thrice a week FY flight to PEN. Small aircraft seems to fit KUA well. Maybe FY and OD can develop it further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
