KUCHING: Mukah will get a RM600mil airport to cater to its rapid growth as the Sarawak Corri-dor of Renewable Energy’s (Score) central administrative centre.
Mukah Division Resident Saudi Narani said the proposed airport was being designed, adding that the site survey work for the project was underway.
“The new airport will cater for B737-800W aircraft and larger passenger capacity.
“Half the funds approved for the project is already available,” he told about 100 participants at a seminar organised by Angkatan Zaman Mansang Sarawak (Azam) to provide updates on Score.
Saudi, who presented a paper on Score: Current developments and challenges in Mukah, said the existing airport in Mukah could only accommodate 18-seater Twin-Otter aircraft.
Presently, MasWing operates flights between Mukah and Kuching and the Mukah-Miri sector.
