A FEW OF YEOW MENG’S FAVOURITE PLANES

The avid aviator has had the opportunity to fly a number of planes and turboprops over the years

For adventurous pursuits: Kodiak K100 / Piper M600

“I liken these to economical luxury SUVs – they’re great for island hopping or flying to remote places, like small cities and towns with smaller airports.”

For fast travel around Asia: HondaJet / Daher TBM

“The HondaJet (above) has a short range but it’s super fast. I flew it to Tokyo, making just three stops in Kota Kinabalu, Manila and Okinawa. The TBM has longer range and is pretty fast as well, making Tokyo in two to three stops as well.”

For intercontinental travel: Pilatus PC-24

“They termed this the ‘super versatile jet’ because it has the range and speed of a business jet, but it can land on dirt and in the outback.”
