Re: R/T status in KL FIR

Hi Jetrat, No idea man. Sometime ago MAS approved Munich,Sydney,HKG,Seoul n one more that I can't remember(probably Narita). All these were shelved(No idea by whom). Later regional destinations were approved but Sin n Hkg were out. What we ATCers at Lumpur really need to see n learn is peak hour management at airports where dual runway ops are practised. At least we don't have to keep them long on ground waiting for their departure. There is also too much of enroute holding during peak hours which is stressful for both pilot n controller. KLIA was designed to handle simoultaneous departure n landings. Years have passed by and we are still holding acft enroute b4 commencing approach into KLIA. Currently we are handling about 1K flts a day. I can't imagine if the flts go up to 2K a day. With the kind of reception we get on our side, any destination for a FAM Flt is a real welcome man. tks 4 tolerating us. cheers.
