The flight, which took off from Miri at 8am arrived at Ba’ Kelalan at 8.55am, marked the launching of Maswings non-stop flight.

The inaugural flight was launched by Assistant Minister of Tourism Minister, Haji Hamden Ahmad, at the opening of the three-day long Ba’ Kelalan Apple Fiesta.

Hamden in his speech described the non-stop flight as an encouraging development that would not only help to provide better convenience for local travelling community, but would also help to boost tourism in the area.

He added the challengefor the tourism industry was to expand the products available in the country and no to depend on the existing products.

“We need to identify new products, develop and promote them to the outside world. The industry players will need to be more creative and proactive in terms of monitoring the trends of travel and leisure by tourists so that we can tailor our products to suit their needs in our efforts to attract more tourists to our country,” he said.
