MELAKA: There are no longer commercial flights at Melaka International Airport (LTAM) in Batu Berendam here and the loss of service is rare, say local tourism players.
At the airport on Tuesday , it was found that check-in desks, a baggage carousel and other counters have been empty since last month with all flights including to Pekan Baru, Indonesia no longer available.
“It's sad to know that there are no longer commercial flights at the airport and this is something rare for a tourist state," he said. He said flights to the airport are also important for business travellers and those who are coming to the state to attend conferences and events where participants would choose to go on vacation with their families.Khairulnizam said this latest development is also untimely with the state preparing for Visit Melaka Year 2024.
He said previous direct flights from Penang and Pekan Baru to LTAM were a boost for the local medical tourism industry.
