Besuch der Firma Airfoil ( A visit to the Airfoil firm/company)



Imagine this in 6 years to come...whoa..



Integration....future engineers


engineer wannabe


The turbine


Thanx rumy for the pictures..


Zul and Ina mmg sker enterframe..


Airfoil Company under MTU and Lufthansa (both are German companies)



Preparation for the visit:
1 . We have to know a little bit about what the firm is all about,what they do...where is it....when it is established etc.

2. My German teacher sempat bagi the firm's website to us so that we read everything about the firm.

3.Because the visit will take a long time and reduce our time for german studies,we had to come early on that day at 8.30am..Sehr Frueh!!

4. Like usual,before a visit,we get some questions ready....

5. Finding transport.....20 people cannot fit in the college van...so another car is needed...luckily my roommate's driver is available...Gluecklicherweise!!


9.45 was the time when we began our trip to the company.It is not that far from our college,estimation of 15 minutes. When we arrived, we were welcomed by Joachim, consultant from Germany who is also my teacher's friend. He is a very nice guy,aged 70, and has been working in Malaysia for about 2 years.He brought us around the working area, where the process of repairing the turbine's blades is being carried out.Kewl.Wir haben viel Informationen bekommen und das hat uns sehr gut gefreut!! The processes are kinda complicated. New terms like ceramic peening, Advanced Recontouring Process (ARP), ionisation and polishing of ceramic stones were used.cam gler skit ar..Ich konnte nicht alles verstehen,weil damals der Lärm sehr laut war..Seufz..Ok...that'll be all...please read the history when u have time....

History about Airfoil


Airfoil was setup in 1991, with an agreement between MAS and MTU to set up a common jet engine airfoil repair facility in Malaysia. The operations started in 1993 with CF6-50 Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) Blades repair.

MTU then decides to lead the new shareholder structure and in 2000, MTU set up a “Center of Excellence” for High Pressure Compressor (HPC) and Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) airfoil repairs.

In 2002, Airfoil was 100% owned by MTU, and later decided to split the joint venture with Lufthansa Technik in 2003 by 50/50 joint venture. By 2003, we already have repair capability for CF6-50, CF6-80 & V2500 for HPC.

European Film Festival

European Film Festival 2008

19 films for fans of international cinema from November 13-23 at GSC Mid Valley, 1 Utama & Pavilion. Only RM 5 per ticket!

European Film Festival 2008
7 Nov - The European Union Film Festival is back with its 9th edition in Kuala Lumpur from 13-23 November, providing another great opportunity for aficionados of international films to discover Europe's best latest productions as well as other recent award-winning movies.
The movies will be screened at three locations in Kuala Lumpur: GSC Mid Valley, GSC 1 Utama and GSC Pavilion. Last year nearly 4,000 tickets were purchased, making EUFF one of the highlights on the cultural calendar in Kuala Lumpur.
As France took over the presidency of the Council of the European Union on 1 July 2008, the Embassy of France in Kuala Lumpur is leading the organisation of the EUFF. This year's selection will showcase 19 films from 14 European countries, covering most genres.
Some of the movies this year are "After The Wedding" from Denmark (nominated for the Best Foreign Film at the Oscars in 2007), "Get Away From Me" from Spain", "Paris" from France, "9 And A Half Dates" from Hungary, "La Febbre", from Italy, "A Chicken Is No Dog" from Belgium, "Arabian Nights" from Luxembourg and many more.
Speaking at a press conference recently at GSC Mid Valley, French Ambassador to Malaysia H.E. Mr Marc Barety said: "Contrary to Hollywood's model, which is globally based upon commercial efficiency and entertainment, the European cinema shows another side of the world. It offers a more balanced, a more human-centred view, which is a good introduction to European traditions, and rich in historical and cultural context."
Head of the Delegation of the European Commission H.E. Vincent Piket added: "2008 has been declared the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue and the Film Festival is very much in that spirit. It is a modest but meaningful, artistic contribution to creating greater intercultural understanding throughout the world."
