SIBU: People are welcoming ultra low cost airline MYAirline as another good option to fly to Kuala Lumpur from town.

They feel it will bring competition right to the doors of existing airlines and in the process provide for more cheaper flights which in turn will benefit the local tourism industry.The airline which launched its inaugural flight on Jan 18 is offering two flights daily between Kuala Lumpur and Sibu, thus giving more options to travel to Kuala Lumpur from the swan city.
New Sarawak Tribune conducted a straw poll on the new service from Sibu to Kuala Lumpur by MYAirline.

“This is good news for people in Sibu, especially for those who work in Kuala Lumpur. It will give us more options to fly to Kuala Lumpur, especially during the festive season. I hope we can get more low-cost airlines offering more flights. Not only to Kuala Lumpur but other places as well,” she said.

“During the festive season normally, there is a hike in flight fares, especially from Semenanjung to Sarawak. So, I consider this good news for the locals, especially those who have families in Semenanjung. Their family members can come back and visit them or they can fly and visit their family members. We indeed need more flights like this,” she said.

“The new airline will definitely create more competition to the existing airlines. In the future, we might probably see cheaper flight tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Sibu. Hence, this is something that we should welcome and be proud of. Plus, with the cheaper flight we can also expand our local tourism industry as more people can travel here,” he said.
