KUCHING, Feb 12 — Sarawak is set to take to the skies with its very own airline, AirBorneo, following the formal acquisition of MASwings.

Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg announced the establishment of AirBorneo today after the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) was signed between the Sarawak government and Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) at a leading hotel here.

“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. — The Borneo Post
