Firefly to fly Ipoh-Singapore route

The Ipoh-Singapore flight route that is expected to become operational in the middle of the year would be a generator of investment and tourism between Perak and the island republic, said Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.

He said Malaysia's first community airline, Firefly, was expected to begin operations from the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (LTSAS) in Ipoh to Singapore in June if all goes well.

He said Singapore authorities had approved landing rights and the state government was having discussions with related parties to realise the matter.

"This is a good venture to ensure that investment and tourism between Perak and Singapore can be enhanced. I thank all who have worked to make this happen," he said after the state executive council meeting at the Kuala Kangsar Town Council building here today.


Zambry however did not tell of the frequency of the flights or provide other details.

The Ipoh-Singapore route would provide much-needed breathing space to LTSAS for being under-utilised. - Bernama
