MMLim 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2013 Was trying my luck today at MKZ hoping that our PM will come with some interesting VIP plane, but ended up back home empty handed. Nevertheless, spotted the PK-OZY (Airfast Indonesia) Beech 1900D sitting at the apron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MMLim 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Sorry for the low quality images. Judging from the 2 tones camouflage Super Puma and the external tanks equipped Apache, I believe these are Singaporean choppers en route to LIMA 2013. Saw them flying alone the Malacca coastline this morning at around 10am. How I wish they stop by MKZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michgyver 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) it is confirmed by Airport staff that Wings Air has pulled out from Melaka since last month. Malindo coming? Sky-aviation is serving Melaka - PekanBaru sector only. They also cease Melaka - Tanjung Pinang route. Edited July 18, 2013 by michgyver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michgyver 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 GROWTH POTENTIAL: Carrier wants Malacca and Langkawi airport tax reduced to as low as RM10Airasia Bhd is looking to introduce international flights from Malacca and Langkawi airports as it sees their tremendous potential in attracting more regional traffic.To facilitate such a move, the low-cost carrier has requested Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) to reduce passenger service charges at the two airports to as low as RM10 per international passenger from RM65.“We believe that Malacca and Langkawi offer tremendous potential in attracting international traffic as both are well-known tourist destinations,” AirAsia Bhd chief executive officerAireen Omar told Business Times yesterday.AirAsia feels that the reduced service charges need not mean lower revenue for MAHB as the higher volume could mean more retail business at the airports.“It will be a win-win situation for both AirAsia and MAHB if we can stimulate passenger traffic growth. AirAsia is doing its part by reducing fares and we hope MAHB will assist by reducingits charges.“Passengers need incentives to fly to a new destination. We can provide low fares but if the airport charge is close to 70 per cent of the air ticket, it will be quite a disincentive,” she said.For example, Aireen said, AirAsia charges an average fare of RM85 for one way between Singapore and Langkawi. The passenger service charge, or commonly known as airport tax, is RM65 per passenger, which is almost 70 per cent of the ticket price.AirAsia sees potential in introducing more international connections to Langkawi but passengers need incentives to fly to the resort island. As such, lower air fare and airport taxwill help.As for Malacca, Aireen said the airport is under-utilised.“We feel that there is potential to attract traffic from China but again, the passengers need incentives.“Malacca airport should not have a similar passenger service charge as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It has a smaller catchment area and to stimulate passenger traffic itneeds to offer lower charges,” she said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff R. 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Never knew there was a defunct 737 in Melaka and for 2 years i did not went in to see until this afternoon Thanks for posting the pictures. I think it arrived in very early 2011. Also a Westland Wasp preserved in the Muzium Maritim, Twin Pioneer at the Muzium Pengangkutan and I heard they had also acquired a Northrop F-5 from USM. Confirmation and a photo of the later would be good. Geoff Edited June 7, 2014 by Geoff R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
