Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the state-owned airline is not driven mainly by profit, but by stabilising airfares between Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

Location: Kuching International Airport

Details:

• AirBorneo launched its inaugural Kuching-Kuala Lumpur jet service on July 20.
• The RM375 all-inclusive one-way fare is expected to stay for at least the first year if conditions allow.
• The airline starts with two aircraft and aims to grow to four within the next four to five months.
• New-generation ATR aircraft are expected next year to replace ageing turboprops inherited from MASwings.
• Abang Johari also suggested using future ATR routes to help university students travel more affordably.
