The technical problems it developed must be quite serious for it to spend six days in Indianapolis.

KUALA LUMPUR: It’s been a week since Prime Minister Najib Razak returned to address the flood situation in the country, but the official government jet, Perdana 1, is still not back.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the plane developed technical problems and needed to be checked for maintenance, forcing Najib to take a commercial flight to Hong Kong before flying to Kota Baru on a Royal Malaysian Air Force jet.
Perdana 1, an Airbus 319, is operated by the KL-based Jet Premier One, which has a six-year maintenance and service contract with Comlux Aviation Services. Comlux’s specialty is designing and outfitting exclusive aircraft cabins. In a press statement in October 2013, Complux announced it had completed refurbishing the “Head of State of Malaysia’s Aircraft”.
We know that Perdana 1 was in Hawaii before going to Los Angeles. It then flew eastwards to Indianapolis, and then back to Los Angeles before heading east again to New York en route to London, Dubai and Bangkok, where it landed yesterday.
One of the nagging questions is why it spent six days in Indianapolis. Although the Indiana capital is the home of Comlux, any of the airports where it landed could have serviced any technical problem, according to Airbus’s official website.
When Najib leased the Airbus 320 9H-AWK, or Perdana 2, it cost taxpayers RM27,501.75 per hour. How many hours has Perdana 1 been in use since Najib left for his Hawaiian holiday?
It is likely that Najib took along his wife, Rosmah Mansor, on his holiday, although there has been no official confirmation of this. If he didn’t, where is she? If he did and left her in Hawaii when he rushed back to handle the flood crisis, wouldn’t she have taken commercial flights for the rest of her holiday instead of risking her life flying in a faulty plane? Or has she been on the plane at all?
Perhaps we’ll know when Perdana 1 officially lands in Malaysia. Keep checking Flightradar24.com to find out when that will be. Search for Perdana 1′s tail number, 9M-NAA.
