SIBU: Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s announcement that AirAsia Group Bhd is set to take over the Kota Kinabalu (KK)-Sibu and KK-Bintulu routes from MASwings Sdn Bhd starting January 2019.
Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, when contacted TheBorneoPost, said although he has yet to be informed about the matter, it is ‘very much welcomed news’ if it is true.
He added that this is the sector which Sibu and Bintulu residents have been asking for.
For the record, AirAsia discontinued the Sibu-KK route in August 2009 after operating for four months as MASwings had been given exclusive rights by the government to service the rural air routes. -@ybkarimsays
