More Airlines Serving Sarawak
The Royal Brunei Airlines and the Cathay Pacific Airlines (CPA) have been allowed to operate in Sarawak to improve air services there. Deputy Transport Minister Encik Ali Shariff said recently. He said although CPA had been given landing rights, it had not yet begun operations in the state. He was replying to a question by Mr Leonard Linggi, who asked what steps were being taken by the government to improve air services in Sarawak.
To another question Encik Ali said MAS has sufficient F27 and B737 planes to meet the demands of the people in Sarawak, but there were many airfields which could not be used by the B737. He said the possibility of enlarging these airports to allow the B737 to land was still under consideration.
