AirAsia to launch Kuching-Macau route on Nov 15

 

By JACK WONG

 

KUCHING: Budget carrier AirAsia will launch its first international connection from Sarawak when it inaugurates the Kuching-Macau daily flight on Nov 15.

 

Its Kuching station manager Shanmugamnathan Suppiah said the carrier would add more flights if there was more demand from travellers.

 

"If the Kuching-Macau flight is a success, we may consider introducing a Kuching-Shenzen route," he said when meeting state Urban Development and Tourism Minister Datuk Wong Soon Koh on Thursday.

 

Wong said the Kuching-Macau service as opened "a window" for Sarawak to the rest of the world.

 

The Land of the Hornbills was "cut off" from the outside world when Malaysia Airlines ceased its direct flights from here to certain Australian cities, London and Frankfurt, a year ago under its rationalisation exercise.

 

State tourism players have complained that the termination of these direct flights to overseas destinations has adversely affected the number of foreign visitors to the state, and they have appealed to MAS to resume these services.

 

Wong urged tour operators to aggressive promote the Kuching-Macau service by coming up with tour packages for both outbound and inbound tourists, particularly from Macau, Hong Kong, Shenzen and provinces in eastern China.

 

He said the state's nature and cultural attractions could appeal to the many highly-paid expatriats working in Macau, Hong Kong and China.

Quite frustrated with what politicians say nowadays... Well ask all airport to serve international lor... Good for tourism mah...

 

Anyway, it's good to hear that. But could that be the longest flight AK ever have in this case?
