ChrisJong 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 It is sad to see that KIA is getting less & less international traffic. It appears S'wakians are always on the losing side when it comes to air travel. could it be the volume is not profitable enough but hope there will be more international traffic in the future. Then spotting will be more pleasurable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 ..... but hope there will be more international traffic in the future. Then spotting will be more pleasurable. Actually it's not a given - if you have MH or AK doing any new routes, it's not likely to make the spotting experience anymore exciting than it is now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 Actually it's not a given - if you have MH or AK doing any new routes, it's not likely to make the spotting experience anymore exciting than it is now In the past, both MH and AK (and the few airlines from SIN) mounted international flights to KCH. Unfortnately, demand was not sufficient to sustain the routes. This is sad because Sarawak has much to offer to tourists (both from Malaysia and foreign countries). However, development of tourist infrastructure is woefully inadequate. So it looks like unless the state and federal govts. put their minds to it, the day that KCH can be a bustling international hub is still very much a dream.

szesyn 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2013 It was reported back in September 2012 that Plaza Premium Lounge will open a pay-per-use lounge at KIA by the second quarter of 2013. For those traveling through KCH, any signs of this taking place so far? My guess is that it will be located next to MH's Golden Lounge on the 3rd floor after the departure immigration but I could be wrong. http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/9/18/business/20120918140905 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
