KOTA KINABALU, Sabah: MASwings, the community airline serving Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan, has announced the launch of additional weekly flights between Miri (MYY) and Long Banga (LBP), enhancing rural air connectivity in Sarawak.

Beginning August 8, MASwings will increase the current twice-weekly flights (Thursday and Saturday) by adding two more on Mondays and Fridays, effectively offering daily services (7x weekly) on this route.

This strategic move reflects ongoing efforts by the Malaysian government and the Ministry of Transport to boost rural accessibility and socioeconomic development.

“MASwings, as the Pulse of Borneo, remains deeply committed to supporting the socio-economic development of rural communities in East Malaysia.

“By introducing two additional weekly flights, we are proud to now offer daily services between Miri and Long Banga – a significant milestone in rural air connectivity,” said Chief Operating Officer of MASwings, Suresh Singam.

“This initiative would not have been possible without the continued support and approval from the Ministry of Transport Malaysia, for which we are truly grateful,” he said.

Passengers may book their flights via MASwings or Malaysia Airlines ticket offices and authorised travel agents. More information is available at www.maswings.com.my.
