KUCHING, Nov 11: Indonesian artistes who will be performing at the Manggung Di Muara 2026 concert will be among the passengers on AirBorneo’s inaugural Jakarta–Kuching direct flight this Friday (Nov 13), says Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Sarawak Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
Speaking at a press conference on Manggung Di Muara 2026 at Baitulmakmur here today, he said that the inaugural Jakarta–Kuching flight was supposed to commence at the end of last month but had to be postponed to Nov 13.
“I believe AirBorneo will also organise a special reception to mark its inaugural flight, possibly including a water cannon salute, which would make the occasion even more significant. There will be a welcoming ceremony at the airport,” he said.
