Sarawak anticipates return of direct flights to Pontianak
Sarawak is eager for the resumption of direct flights between Kuching and Pontianak, boosting tourism and regional connections. State Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin said this follows the reinstatement of international status for West Kalimantan's Supadio Airport, serving Pontianak. The route was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the airport's temporary downgrade to domestic status. "The return of this important air route marks a major milestone in reconnecting Sarawak and West Kalimantan," Lee said in a statement on Thursday (July 24). "It is a vital step toward strengthening people-to-people ties, economic collaboration, and regional mobility between Sarawak and West Kalimantan,' he added. AirAsia is set to announce the resumption of its flights to Pontianak this weekend. Lee said his ministry had consistently engaged with Indonesian authorities to restore air connectivity. Last September, he led a delegation to Pontianak and Singkawang and formally requested the resumption of direct Kuching-Pontianak flights. He expressed appreciation to former Indonesian Consul General in Kuching, Raden Sigit Witjaksono, for initiating and supporting the dialogue. "This route is not only important to us in Sarawak, but it has also been highly requested by the people of Pontianak. "Reestablishing air connectivity fosters mutual understanding, shared development, and closer bilateral relations between our regions," Lee said. He added that the renewed connectivity would stimulate cross-border trade, tourism, and small business activities. "This will open new opportunities for local entrepreneurs, travel agencies, transport operators, and border communities who rely on the flow of people and goods between Sarawak and Kalimantan. "Reviving this route also has the potential to boost our tourism sector, as West Kalimantan visitors can once again access Sarawak's ecotourism destinations, medical services, and cultural attractions directly via Kuching." Looking ahead, Lee said the state government is keen to explore new routes to other cities in Kalimantan, aligning with the relocation of Indonesia's capital to Nusantara. "The development of Nusantara opens up fresh possibilities for economic integration and transport collaboration. "We look forward to working closely with our counterparts across the border to expand this momentum," he said.

Kuching-Pontianak direct flights resume, more Kalimantan routes under study, says S'wak Transport Minister
Lee says his ministry has been in ongoing engagement with Indonesian authorities to facilitate the reinstatement of the route. KUCHING (July 24): Direct flights between Kuching and Pontianak have officially resumed following the reinstatement of Supadio Airport in Pontianak as an international airport, said Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin. The route, now operated by AirAsia, had been suspended since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the temporary reclassification of Supadio Airport to domestic status. 'The return of this important air route marks a major milestone in reconnecting Sarawak and West Kalimantan after several years of suspension due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the temporary downgrade of Supadio Airport to domestic status,' he said in a statement today. Lee said his ministry has been in ongoing engagement with Indonesian authorities to facilitate the reinstatement of the route. He also revealed that in September 2024, he led a working visit to Pontianak and Singkawang in West Kalimantan, during which a formal request was made to resume direct flights between the two regions. He acknowledged the vital role played by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Kuching, especially Consul General Raden Sigit Witjaksono, whose support and coordination were instrumental in restoring the route. 'The return of this air route represents more than just the resumption of a convenient travel option. 'It is a meaningful step toward strengthening regional mobility, economic collaboration, and people-to-people ties between Sarawak and West Kalimantan,' said Lee. According to Lee, the demand for the route had come from both sides of the border, with many in Pontianak also calling for its return. Restoring the air link, he added, would help foster mutual understanding, promote shared development, and deepen bilateral relations. The renewed connection is expected to boost cross-border trade and tourism while benefiting local businesses, travel operators, and communities who rely on regular movement between the two regions. 'The route also opens direct access for West Kalimantan residents to visit Sarawak for ecotourism, medical services, and cultural experiences,' he said. Looking ahead, Lee said Sarawak is considering the establishment of additional air routes with Kalimantan, which currently has six cities with airports. He added that Indonesia's ongoing development of its new capital city, Nusantara, presents new opportunities for economic integration and transport cooperation between the two regions. Following that, Lee thus expressed the Sarawak government's readiness to consider new routes and increased frequencies as part of its broader commitment to regional connectivity and collaboration. 'We are open to exploring increased flight frequencies and new air routes connecting Sarawak with other parts of Kalimantan. 'The development of Nusantara opens up fresh possibilities for economic integration and transport collaboration. 'We look forward to working closely with our counterparts across the border to expand this momentum,' said Lee. direct flights indonesia kalimantan Kuching Lee Kim Shin Pontianak

Malaysia targets defence tech transfer from Turkiye by year-end, says Mohamed Khaled
ISTANBUL: Malaysia is targeting the transfer of defence technology from Turkiye in several identified areas by the end of this year, says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. He said technology transfer is crucial for developing the country's defence industry, led by local companies, particularly in areas such as management systems, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of naval weaponry, and the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). "We have identified Malaysian companies that will meet with companies from Turkiye to work out suitable forms of collaboration and cooperation," he told reporters here on Wednesday (July 23). Earlier, Mohamed Khaled held a meeting with the president of the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB), Prof Dr Haluk Gorgun, in conjunction with the ongoing International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2025. The SSB is the agency responsible for managing Turkiye's defence industry and military technology. Mohamed Khaled also held a bilateral meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Yasar Guler, to discuss defence cooperation between the two countries, including the sending of Malaysian officers and personnel for training, including pilot training. "We also discussed defence diplomacy approaches that both countries can leverage to foster understanding with other nations and avoid any conflicts," he said. Additionally, Mohamed Khaled held bilateral talks with Azerbaijan's Minister of Defence Industry, Vugar Mustafayev, during which they discussed challenges faced by Islamic countries in defence and military matters. He also met Sudan's Defence Minister, Hassan Daoud Kayan, and expressed Malaysia's readiness to offer defence and military training to the country. Mohamed Khaled also took time to visit several booths of defence industry companies showcasing their assets at IDEF 2025, accompanied by Chief of Defence Forces Gen Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar and Army Chief Gen Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan. He also witnessed the exchange of agreement documents by Turkish companies that will participate in the Defence Services Asia (DSA) and National Security Asia (NATSEC) 2026 exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, he witnessed the signing of memoranda of understanding between Malaysian and Turkish companies in various defence and military-related fields. - Bernama
