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.

WMKJ

Capt's Blog: WMKJ/JHB used to be called Senai airport because it's located near the biggest town of Senai in the vicinity. It's the southern most airport in West Malaysia and almost a stone throw away from Singapore. It has a long ILS runway with radar control but under utilized. For private jets, after landing you will be directed to the cargo apron. Space could be tight because 3X747-200 could be there with other smaller cargo aircrafts. There's no FBO but you can have handlers ( SATs) to arranged for vehicles to be escorted right to the aircraft for passengers pick up. They can also facilitate refueling and other necessary services. If you cannot get into Singapore for one reason or another then WMKJ would be your next option. Cheap and you could drive all the way into Singapore.
