KUCHING, Oct 21: The Sarawak Government has decided to lease a private jet from Cempaka Helicopter Corporation Sdn Bhd due to its affiliation with Aircraft Inspection, Repair & Overhaul Depot Sdn Bhd (AIROD) which promises safety and security for its passengers.
This is the answer provided by Second Minister for Finance and New Economy Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, in response to Padungan assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen’s queries on the leasing of a private jet, used by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
“On the issue raised on private jet leasing, let me clarify why Hornbill Skyways chose Cempaka Helicopter Corporation Sdn Bhd (Cempaka) as the lessor of the Falcon 8X.
“Cempaka is an associated company of AIROD, which has extensive experience in aircraft maintenance, repair, and vverhaul (MRO), airport handling and hangar services,” said Uggah who is also Deputy Premier when delivering the ministerial winding-up speech during Sarawak Legislature held at Sarawak Legislative Assembly Complex here today.
