MIRI: Fly in early and fly out early – that will be the new flight schedule for aircraft operating rural air service flights to remote destinations in Sarawak and Sabah.
Fly Asian Xpress (FAX) is to implement an early departure schedule for all aircraft flying from the cities and towns into the remote interiors of the two states and flying out from these remote airstrips to avoid the onslaught of bad weather.
FAX manager for distribution and marketing Kaathik Velu said flight timings of all the airline’s 19-seater Twin Otter aircraft would be modified starting Oct 29.
“Our aim is to reduce flight disruptions as much as possible. At present, we have faced difficulties in the rural areas because of the unpredictable weather and low visibility, especially on routes that are very weather-sensitive.
“In places like Bario, Ba’Kelalan and Lawas (in northern Sarawak), the weather plays a major factor in the flight landings and departures.”
