How ? Send Captain Nik's specially configured 744 to MKZ, then skip hop jump to KUL down the road for refuelling and pick up rest of pax, then onwards to KSA ? :D

No;I mean does MAS Charter is sending 737 to MKZ to pick up pilgrims there?

Oh ok, perhaps best leave the choice of aircraft to Captain Nik then - he knows best ;)

Only that I thought it would be much more cost effective to send a coach/bus down the road to pick up the soon to be haji's and hajjah's instead :)

No info on that but it departed Bangkok Don Muang on 25/09/2010 as GAMA253.....Perhaps it went to Melaka? :pardon:

Wow good to hear that...btw, what's the schedule for the touch down?

 

dont be happy yet. according to riau airlines website, they dont own any boeing planes, only BAE and fokker. our cm always like to exaggerate.

Nice visitor..when was that? Could that be CM's charted plane to Timor Leste yesterday :pardon:

 

Reported that PM will visit Melaka this Friday, rumoured that he will be flying either in the GLEX or the blackhawk.
