Sarawak takes flight with own airline AirBorneo after MASWings acquisition

KUCHING, Feb 12 — Sarawak will soon take to the skies with its very own airline AirBorneo.

The new airline was announced by state Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg following the acquisition of MASwings which was formalised through the signing of a Sale Purchase Agreement (SPA) here today.

“AirBorneo is poised to create a balance between connectivity, affordable fares and economic benefits.

“Operating as a full-service carrier (FSC), AirBorneo can significantly enhance the passengers’ experiences through superior in-flight services. This will emphasise the regional prestige of Sarawak as a premium travel destination,” he said at the SPA signing ceremony between the Sarawak government and Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) at a leading hotel here today.
