KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Miri residents will have another air travel option when a new flight service to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (LTSAAS) in Subang begins operations on December 1, 2026.

Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Chiew Choon Man said the new route would benefit residents who frequently travel for work, business, education, medical treatment and family commitments.

He said Subang Airport’s proximity to central Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas would offer greater convenience to travellers, particularly in terms of accessibility and onward land transportation.

“I welcome this announcement because the addition of this route is not just about providing more flight options, but also about enhancing Miri’s connectivity with the country’s main economic centres,” he said in a statement today.
