SEPANG:

AirBorneo will expand its operations to several destinations across Asean while maintaining its responsibility to provide rural air services in Sarawak and Sabah.

Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said the state government-owned airline will launch its inaugural Kuching-Singapore flight on July 22 in conjunction with Sarawak Day, followed by Jakarta within the next two months.

Abang Johari said AirBorneo also plans to expand its flight network to other cities in Southeast Asia to strengthen economic ties and people-to-people connectivity across the region.

“AirBorneo aspires to provide services within Asean cities, thereby strengthening economic relations among Asean member states, particularly Indonesia, Singapore and countries neighbouring Sarawak,” he told a press conference in conjunction with AirBorneo’s inaugural flight from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur today. - FMT
