Did you know that if you were Petronas or EMEPMI staff, you can take advantage of a chartered flight between Subang and Kerteh? It shaves off hours from the usual KLIA-Kuantan-Kerteh route. It leaves Kerteh at 7:00, leaves Subang at 8:30. The afternoon flight leaves Kerteh at 4:30, and leaves Subang at 6:00. As a former colleague of mine says, it’s travelling during gentleman hours.
No inflight movie, and no refreshments. The reading material is a bit thin, something about exits. Did I mention that 2 people sit abreast? You do get a personel safety briefing by the flight captain.
A commercial flight used to travel between Kerteh and Subang, Pelangi Air. Rumour has it that it went down due to mismanagement.
So, a business opportunity. Maybe work with Awana Genting for packages, and promote Pulau Tenggol. Actually, don’t promote Tenggol, I want to keep the diving crowd to the ‘need to know’ basis.

So how come Air Asia hasn’t latched on to this route …. ? You know what…they would probably kill off the charter flight.
Juara: I wish they would. Looking at Berjaya Air’s costing, they can probably sell seats at RM200 / pop and still be looking at full flights.
hmmm, that’s a good one. by the way, does that apply to contract staff. Back when jabba was in Shell Nigeria, only permanent staff were allowed to take chartered company flights, the contract staff (although called shell staff) were left to fate.
i was wondering whether the contract staff gets tied to the airplan wings. hey, no complain as the won’t miss out of food or reading materials.
I think direct hire staff are allowed to use the service, but the flight is so full anyway that even permenent staff get bounced off.
