Sabah wants more KL-KK flights Posted: 19 Oct 2011 10:06 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: Sabah hopes Malaysia Airlines (MAS) or AirAsia would add more flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu following the termination of Firefly's services. State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines Group, had contributed to the increased availability of seats resulting in an increase of 21 per cent in domestic arrivals in Sabah as of August. "There will be an impact on Sabah's domestic tourist arrivals in the short run.
Masidi said the airline group needs to rationalise its operations in East Malaysia to ensure it does not lose more money. While hoping the matter could be resolved in order to meet increasing demand, he expressed gratitude that passengers can still choose to travel by either MAS or AirAsia.
The programme will be undertaken over a two-month period on a sector-by-sector basis, and will result in all Firefly jet aircraft being redeployed into MAS' operations by Dec 4, 2011. However, the group remains committed to Sabah and Sarawak and will continue to operate all services to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. -- BERNAMA |
