Singapore is a vital regional and international hub, and this new route will create meaningful opportunities for trade, tourism and investment between Sarawak and the wider region. We remain committed to connecting people, businesses and opportunities through safe and reliable air travel. This milestone reflects our long-term ambition to grow AirBorneo’s international network in service of Sarawak’s economic and social development,” said Megat Ardian Aminuddin, Chief Executive Officer of AirBorneo.
