Radzi 2 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) This is the scene at SBW this afternoon. I arrived from KUL and parked at Bay 2. (Aerobridge is at bay 2 and 3). Then a F50 comes in and parked at bay 4. 2 more aircraft was doing approach, both from KCH. Amazing landed. To my surprise, it parked in front of bay 3, therefore blocking access to the aerobridge. The MAS personnel protests to the AK guys but to no avail. MH 2266 had to wait for about 10 minutes. Then the FAX F50 taxi out, and the MH B737 had to park at bay 4 and had to use stairs. The ATC somehow has no control of the parking position of aircraft. But I think everybody should be more attentive to the requirement of others. If you don't want to use the aerobridge, then don't block access to it. Selfish.... (BTW, I'm not criticizing the pilots. It is the one who marshall the aircraft in, or whoever was doing the bay allocation) Edited March 29, 2007 by Radzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwek 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Interesting . I wonder who assigns the parking bay...if it is not ATC, then is bay assignment planned by Apron or Ramp control, or is it MAB?? Not doing a good job at all to maximize the use of resources in the situation that you described. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ignatius 4 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 I thought usually ground controller assigns a/c to where they should park?? <_ some communication fault between a and ground> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth K 3 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Does airport that small has ground controller, I think all control by ATC.......but yeah, AK shouldn't even park near the gate, saw that in PEN before, they should be isolate from the aerobridge since they dun want it.................either way, bad planning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Does sound pretty "common sense" to me - only park in front of the bridge if you want to use it! Very inconsiderate indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KK Lee 5 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Parking stand is assigned by MAB. ‘AK Amazing’ may has delayed, park at its pre-assigned position and over its block time. Hence, obstructed MH2266. Believe MAB is to blame not AK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin,... in kuching, got ground controller incharge on which a/c should park where and where... for now in kch gate 1 under maintenance on the ground so usually ak a/c parks remote bay 1&2 and gate 2 or 3.. these bays and gates are utilised by ak, but eventhough parked at gate 2 and 3, they dont use aerobridge.. In SBU, maybe no ground controller, so a/c just choose himself maybe that one really no idea,... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
