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.

WMKL

WMKL or Langkawi International airport is on the northern most island in Malaysia. A destination popular with tourist, WMKL hosts the LIMA air show once every 2 years. Long runway with ILS and radar but do not operate 24 hours. There is no FBO here but our handlers are arranged through Dnest. Mr. Omar and Mr. Nani will be there to marshall you in and handle both pax and crew CIQ through the normal airline arrival and departure hall. Plenty of stands for night stops and no requirement for push back and start. Refueling and other request can be made through them or Dnest in KL.
WMKL Final Rw 03


There are lots of nice resorts nearby the terminal for pax and crew and skip the city of Kuah which is 30 mins away. The island is duty free and if onward destination is within Malaysia, any liquor and cigarettes beyond your entitlement you will be taxed on exit here.
