Shazmiey 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Malindo Air introduced BKI-TWU commencing December 6, with daily flight. Joining the crowd, to feed their chinese passenger I think. Maybe its time for government to expand Tawau Airport to allow direct flight from North East Asia. Edited November 13, 2018 by Shazmiey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 I suspect some people might still not have complete trust in a Lion Group carrier. It is understandable that in 2018, Malindo/Batik Air Malaysia has not taken delivery of any new aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
