Singapore and Malaysia expand air services agreement
Xinhua reports that Singapore and Malaysia have expanded their bilateral air agreement, allowing both countries’ low cost carriers to increase services. “The new agreement gives low cost carriers of both countries the right to operate between Singapore and three cities in East Malaysia - Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Miri,” said Singapore’s transport ministry. It said that from Nov. 1, Singapore low cost carriers will be allowed to operate a total of seven flights a week to each of the above cities, and these will be later increased to 14 flights to each city from March 1. The same entitlements have been granted to Malaysian carriers.
