Labuan Development Agency Chief Tracking Officer Abidin Assah said the authorities would consult with the Transport Ministry to improve the runway equipment at Labuan Airport under the Ninth Malaysia Project to allow additional international direct flights to Labuan, so that foreign tourists can directly enter the threshold of Labuan.
Under the proposal, the authorities hope to attract direct flights to places such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, as tourists from these countries and regions are the main foreign tourists in Labuan.
In recent years, Labuan's tourism market promotion has not been satisfactory, mainly due to traffic problems, because the main means of transportation to Labuan is aircraft, due to expensive transportation and limited flights, resulting in the local tourism industry has been faced with resistance for a long time, without breakthrough achievements.
The plan is at the preliminary drafting stage and will be recommended to the Central Government's Economic Action Council through the Transport Ministry for implementation under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
