Radzi 2 Report post Posted April 8, 2007 Compared to previous years, this year we have less number of jets during the Formula One weekend. Barrichello's Embraer Ron Dennis of McLaren team Niki Lauda I don't know who owns the last two, or what team they represent. What I didn't get is Kingfisher's A319CJ, but Kevin got it. Can you post it here as well? And if anybody can get any helicopter used for the race, as well as cargo aircraft associated with F1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted April 8, 2007 VJM - Vee Jay Malya. Boss of United Breweries/Kingfisher. Controls largest market share for india's alcoholic beverages. I remember when Airbus top-notch salesman John Leahy years ago went to Mumbai to get him to sign up for 380. It was shown in discovery channel. But he ended up buying this 319.

Radzi 2 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Anybody knows how much does MAB charge parking fees, if there's any for the private jets? Considering the charge at the covered car parking lot at KLIA, I'd say a lot...... Anyway, the BMW and Red Bull are missing this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Yes... must be a lot for those aircraft Since they're charging between RM50 - RM150 for parking your car around the circuit... that is on top of the ticket you paid... For motorbike = RM10/ & they don't even allow "aircraft spotters" to park at the foot of the Obs Hill... I received a call from KLIA's Emperor, who left Sepang to watch movies instead, after been disallowed to park.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 This year the F1 private jets are quite shy. As of yesterday, there was only one. Only from Force India. And since I won't be on duty during daytime this weekend, that's about all that I can contribute this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft arrived ahead of time by 25 minutes from Melbourne, monday evening. 296 pax were on board from 7 teams including Ferrari, the main Charterer. The passengers seemed extremely happy with the flight, after all, they all had a taste of Malaysian Hospitality liberally dished out by the Charter Crew. We did not shout about it as this is the third year running these teams flew MasCharters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
