MIRI -- Sarawak Assistant Infrastructure Development and Communications Minister Lee Kim Shin said foreign airlines would be pursued only after the national carrier, Malaysian Airlines (MAS), has been given the priority to operate international flights to Sarawak.
Foreign airlines would be pursued to provide additional international flights only when MAS cannot provide such services, he said.
Flying to Sarawak has the potential to generate profits for the national carrier and boost tourist arrivals to the state, he said.
Speaking to reporters here today, he suggested that MAS considered re-directing its present flights of Guangzhou in China or Hong Kong to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah to include Miri to start their international services to the state.
