TANJONG MANIS (MUKAH): MASwings started its flight operations on October 1 last year at the request of the Federal Government with the intention of providing air connectivity between Sarawak and Sabah as well as connecting the states directly to the world.
MASwings’ Managing Director, Dr Amin Khan stated this at the launching of the airline’s inaugural flight between Kuching and Tanjong Manis here yesterday.
He said the airline took up the request as a challenge and decided to focus more on reliability and interlining or direct connection with other airlines.
“Our reliability has increased to a level of 94% - meaning the chances of getting delayed is only 6%,” Dr Amin said, pointing out that the target on time departure and the industry standard was 86%.
“As such, we are extremely proud of our achievements because we have surpassed the industry standard,” he added.
On interlining, Dr Amin said flights were available for sales worldwide through 60,000 agents.
He explained that passengers going to the interior of Sarawak could buy their tickets from any of the travel agents and travel on board any of the 200 partner airlines of Malaysia Airlines to connect to MASwings.
