KUCHING, Oct 6: AirBorneo is set to launch direct Kuching-Jakarta flights by the end of this month, expanding its network to key regional hubs following the introduction of services connecting Kuching with Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“At the end of the month, we (AirBorneo) will be flying to Jakarta. It only takes one hour 30 minutes to fly Kuching-Jakarta, Jakarta-Kuching,” said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg during the official launch of a hotel here today.
He added that the State government decided to invest in its own airline because Sarawak’s geographical location makes reliable air connectivity essential for bringing people into the State.
