Welcome to FBO Asia.Resource.


Capt's Blog Stardate 17032011:

Hello and welcome to FBO.Asia.Resource. The objective of this blog is to share experiences and impart some of the knowledge gained so others may have a better picture of what to expect when they operate into Asia. Landing at an unfamiliar foreign airport and trying to get your pax safely through CIQ and turn around your aircraft can be overwhelming if you don't know who your handlers are or what services they can offer. You may try to call your flight coordinator if you get your mobile to work, but sitting in a cubicle in Houston half a day apart , they cannot help you much either. So here is where I will share some of our experiences. At the moment I am operating within SE Asia and China. hopefully I will be flying into more exciting cities in other parts of Asia. I have heard stories about landing and handling in India so that would be a good experience to write about.

I will attempt to get a few contributors who flies to different destinations or uses a different handler so the wealth of experience and knowledge will be even greater. At the end of the day, your pax are happy, you feel safe and secure that your aircraft is ready and we can all head for the bar and get our well deserve drinks.

VHHH

Capt's Blog: VHHH/HKG Hong Kong Airport is one of the busiest airport in the world but also one of the easiest to get into thanks to their excellent ATC. Even when flying though their airspace they are super efficient and accommodating in getting you a higher level and more direct route. For arrival due to compliance with noise abatement measures they will give you a continuos descent approach( CDA) right up till FAF with speed controls and sometimes don't expect clearance until minima. Nevertheless in typhoon season be prepared for delays and always carry extra fuel.

After landing, private jets will be directed to HKBAC where you will stop just a few steps from the award winning FBO terminal where Signature Flight Support will handle you with care. After offloading pax, aircraft will be towed (without need of a tow bar head) to a nearby parking stand and re-towed again once ready for departure. Lavatory and refueling services are very fast but when checked, we did not get any water and requested them to do it once more. The friendly handlers will attend to your flight plan if there are changes and the waiting lounge is excellent. Fast, Efficient and Attentive, deserves a thumbs up.
