N Azman 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 i just spent the last hour arguing about the outlook of VLJs in the region. whats malaysianwing's take on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 Malaysia, and the general regions outlook is very very good. The business aircraft numbers in australia alone have been soaring to unprecedented levels and with the entry of the VLJ into the market, more and more owner pilots will look into these thanks to their many benefits. If i wasn't soo tired after the last few days, i would go into depth. I have an up-to-date Australasian Bizjet register if anyone is interested, just pm me or email or something.

Before the old man died, believe TK travels on commercial. Understand they ordered a 16 seater but couldn’t tell me the model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe the latest member to Malaysia corporate jet club is Genting/RWB. odd that VT finds the need to have his own jet (ie: not company owned:P) Maybe you were referring to Country Heights' 733 9M-CHG? is this plane still in service with them ?

MIR 2 Report post Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Found these articles..quite interesting: 1. Sultan of Johor operates out of palace heliplex and 3500-ft polo strip 2. Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing's Falcon 900B I was surprised to know that Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing has a regional airline from 1995-1998. It was called Saeaga Airlines.
