KOTA KINABALU: Budget air carrier AirAsia and other airlines can begin operating direct flights between Singapore and the east coast Sabah towns of Sandakan and Tawau from June, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said.

He said the development came following the successful conclusion landing rights talks between Malaysian and Singapore officials at the island republic on Tuesday.

The direct flights from Singapore is certain to boost the economy of these two towns, particularly the tourism sector, he said after a three-hour dialogue with Sabah Chinese community leaders at the Kian Kok Middle School here Friday.

Ong said the new air links was not only aimed at attracting more Singaporean visitors to Sabah but also foreign travellers on transit at the island republic.

He said it would be up to the respective airlines to determine the frequency of the flights they intend to mount between Singapore and the two towns known as the gateways to Sabah’s wildlife and diving havens.

Late last year, Ong had announced direct flights between Singapore and Kota Kinabalu, Miri and Kuching which have since been operated by AirAsia.
