Sim says the plan for Kuching to have another international airport is crucial, in line with the establishment of Sarawak’s own airline and the implementation of a more relaxed open sky policy. — Bernama picKUCHING, May 18 — The plan to build a new international airport in Kuching is seen as a crucial step towards advancing Kuching, and also Sarawak into becoming a high-income economy, says Datuk Sim Kiang Chiok.
“Unfortunately, this makes it considerably smaller than Kota Kinabalu, the second largest airport in Malaysia, which accommodates a more extensive range of airlines, destinations and passengers,” he said in a statement yesterday. The location of the airport, said Sim, must serve as a nucleus for growth, while ensuring strategic accessibility to Kuching at the minimal cost to users.
“This includes addressing accommodation needs, such as the construction of additional hotels, as well as expanding services such as food outlets, shopping facilities, taxi services, and attractions to accommodate the anticipated rise in travellers coming to Kuching and Sarawak,” he added.
