A Kuching person with disabilities has urged AirBorneo Airways to introduce special fares and stronger accessibility support for passengers with disabilities.

What was requested

Tan Chun Sheng said concessionary fares could reduce the extra financial burden faced by PwDs, especially those who need more assistance when travelling.

He also suggested priority seating near aircraft doors or exits, so boarding and disembarkation can be easier and safer.

Why it matters

Tan said affordable fares should go together with accessible facilities and passenger-friendly policies, so PwDs can travel safely, comfortably and with dignity.

His call comes as AirBorneo prepares to open ticket sales for its Kuching-Singapore route on July 13 at 10am. The route is scheduled to start flights on July 22, in conjunction with Sarawak Day.
