Rural Air Services

This was our ride into Mulu National Park, a Twin-otter. Quite an experience and weather was kind. I heard it can be a hair-raising ride if the weather was stirred.

    I got 20 cents! :P
    Thought fokker 50 was bigger and had a sharper nose?

  3. Hi Suzanne. The Fokker-50 is bigger and capacity is about 40-50 passengers. Twin-otter is about 15 passengers only. There are 3 flight in and out of Mulu daily, one flight uses the Twin-otter.
