Kuala Lumpur

Hi,

Pictures from my trip to Hong Kong last year seemed to be fairly well recieved, so I thought that you may be interested to see some photos from another stop on my journey – Kuala Lumpur.

I spent a day at the International Airport, where the viewing gallery offers a good view of most of the action. The only downside (apart from the slight tint of the floor to ceiling glass that constitutes three sides of the gallery) is that you can’t see what is on the other side of the Satellite Terminal which itself blocks views of the Low Cost Carrier Terminal.

It was no great shock that Malaysian Airlines were busy here at their home hub, and their 737s were constantly coming and going:-

Their long haul fleet seemed to have a more relaxed life – this Triple was one of several aircraft that stayed on the ground all day:-

The other main airline was Air Asia. They use the Low Cost Terminal, so photos were hard to come by. However, I did manage a snap of A.330 9M-XXC:-

One of the more interesting visitors from abroard was Royal Brunei’s V8-RBT:-

While Thai provided wide bodied action with 777 HS-TGW:-

Japan Airlines sent a 767 wearing a ‘One World’ livery:-

Pakistan A.310 AP-BGR was another interesting visitor that maintained interest during the endless Malaysian 737s and Air Asia A.320s:-
