古晋－诗巫的班机太少了。希望能考虑加多几班。古晋－澳门最好天天都有的飞。现在觉的澳门堵场好过云顶。如果有古晋－曼谷就不用在LCCT TRANSIT了。省时间。。。

JOHN TEO: High hopes for low fares to Kuching
By : John Teo



The Sarawak government has promised to consider AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes’ request for a low-cost carrier terminal in Kuching.

DATUK Tony Fernandes is such a legendary Malaysian icon now that surely nothing much fazes him any more. He's the centre of attention everywhere he goes in the country and abroad. He should be able to knock on any door in Malaysia and have it opened for him without hesitation.

Adulation for Fernandes in Kuching last week may have been par for the course for him, but it still must have been sweet music coming from one of the nation's most seasoned active politicians, Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.

The occasion was the official launch of AirAsia's direct service between Kuching and Jakarta. Taib was of course the guest of honour, but he took the unusual step of staying back later to sit among reporters while Fernandes held court with media representatives. Taib's quiet admiration for Fernandes spoke volumes, and more eloquently than the praise he heaped on the airline executive in his speech earlier.

Quite apart from any personal fascination with Fernandes, the enterprising innovator, Taib must have been satisfied that AirAsia is finally beginning to deliver on earlier promises, which only months before had seemed a lost cause: re-establishing direct air links between Kuching and regional cities lost as national carrier Malaysia Airlines regrouped.

Before Jakarta, AirAsia forged a direct link from Kuching to Macau. It will add links to Bali, Bandar Seri Begawan and Singapore in coming months and to Bangkok, Manila, Taipei and Perth later.

Some semi-retired businessmen friends I know who had been eagerly hopping over to almost every new destination opened up by AirAsia out of Kuala Lumpur must be happy with the convenience of the new direct international flights out of Kuching.

The local travel industry, too, must quickly grasp the opportunities opened up by aggressively latching on to AirAsia's initiatives and promoting Sarawak in the cities getting directly connected to Kuching.

Kuching is competing head-on with Kota Kinabalu and Johor Baru, which also serve as AirAsia's regional hubs, and the Sarawak capital still looks like losing out.

Kota Kinabalu is a far more attractive hub for AirAsia because it is already a more established tourist destination, and it already has a dedicated low-cost carrier terminal.

Fernandes has made a pitch for a low-cost carrier terminal in Kuching as well, and Taib has indicated that the request will be considered.

In fact, if there is one thing that the Sarawak government can do to help AirAsia help Sarawak, it would be to immediately accede to this request. The state government should actually go a step further to win over the airline by letting AirAsia build and operate its own terminal in Kuching.

This has been a long-standing sore point with AirAsia -- especially in regard to getting its own terminal for Kuala Lumpur.

That the airline has so far been unsuccessful in this regard has been a blot on our nation's ability to back winners.

Low-cost carriers are particularly price-sensitive and AirAsia has been much admired regionally, largely due to its superior cost efficiencies. Having a free hand to manage its own terminal would enable AirAsia to even better control its costs.

An AirAsia-owned terminal in Kuching would be a first in the region, and may just allow the city to leapfrog over the other hubs from which the airline operates. It will be added incentive for the region's premier low-cost carrier to route more flights out of Kuching.

Taib's political skills, honed over more than four decades, are widely acknowledged across the country. Making it possible for AirAsia to realise its dream of its own terminal would make of Taib and Tony a rather exclusive mutual admiration club that can only be in the best interests of both state and airline.

ahkuok

本人相信就算亚航开了古晋-台北的航线一天最多也只是1班吧！如果delay了就要到
第二天！很麻烦！古晋-perth有可能吗？上次马航也有那个航班可是人太少所以关
了！难道亚航能把人数调到比以前马航还要多人？！

我想会，最大的主因就是价钱，亚航怎么说机票的价钱都来的比马航便宜，虽然他们的服务很差。
马来西亚也就这两个航班可以选择

对咯，一开始一定像KCH-MFM，古晋-槟城一样咯，不足每天一班
到最多班次也是每天一班咯
现在淡季不知道为什么AK不要减少航班来卖机票，反而到了那一天才取消这个取消那个。
KL-KCH现在死要面子硬充10个班次？

黄顺舸：跟随步伐避免受淘汰，马航须辟更多国际航线

　　（古晋25日讯）马航受促跟随步伐，开辟更多国际航线，以让砂州子民们受惠。

　　城市发展与旅游部长拿督斯里黄顺舸指出，基于2010年砂州将会全面开放领空，届时，将会有更多航空公司进军本州，因此，为了避免受淘汰，马航必须跟随步伐，开辟更多国际航线。

　　亚航已向首长表示会把古晋打造为航空枢纽中心，这也意味着不久将来，古晋拥有更多直飞新航线。

　　拿督斯里黄顺舸感到欣慰的看到亚航已经开辟许多国际航线，并在未来继续开辟从古晋直飞新加坡、古晋—澳洲柏斯及古晋台北的三条新航线。

　　这是他昨晚在古晋独立皇宫酒店所庆祝10周年鸡尾酒感激晚会上，受邀致词时，如此表示。

　　为了促进旅游业发展，政府一直致力开辟更多新国际航线，比如古晋直飞澳洲柏斯、默尔本、印尼巴厘以及其他地区。

　　不过以往开辟的直飞航班面对很大的起落幅度而受到取消，不过，目前，政府希望，能够重新开辟更多的直飞航线，让更多人民受惠。

　　他赞扬，亚航近年来开辟许多新航线，并且将会继续开辟古晋直飞香港、深圳与广州甚至整个亚洲东南部区域，以开拓更多的旅客市场。

Open sky policy by 2010

By Wilfred Pilo

KUCHING:  Malaysia will have open sky policy a year from now and by 2010, Malaysian sky will be completely open. Next year, the open sky policy will be confined to just the capital cities around the world.

Minister of Urban Development and Tourism, Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, revealed this before the launching of the Merdeka Palace & Suites’ 10th Anniversary Logo at the hotel on Thursday night.

Wong said that one of the greatest disadvantages in the development of the tourism industry was connectivity and for the past many years and the ministry had worked hard to establish linkages with international destinations, like Malaysian Airlines’ (MAS) direct flights between Kuching and Perth, Kuching and Sydney via Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Frankfurt and Kuching and Balikpapan and so forth.

“Unfortunately, some of these flights had been suspended or cancelled and now we hope to bring about more direct flights to Kuching,” he said.

Wong thanked AirAsia for establishing the Kuching-Macau direct flight, therefore tapping East Asian markets, particularly in Hong Kong, Shenzen and Guangzou.

“We also have a direct flight between Kuching and Jakarta and we can tap the Indonesian market not just for tourists, but also for health tourism. On May 2, AirAsia will start a direct flight between Kuching and Bali,” he revealed.

“Therefore, we can tap the foreign markets, particularly tourists from Australia and New Zealand in Bali with arrangements of holiday extension for them to visit Kuching. There are already bookings for such a package. AirAsia in future will also fly direct between Kuching and Singapore, Kuching and Taipei and Kuching and Perth,” he added.

Wong pointed out that AirAsia’s Managing Director, Datuk Tony Fernandes, had made it known to the State government, particularly city tour operators, that AirAsia would make Kuching the regional hub in future.

“With the sky open wider, we hope that MAS will also fly to more international destinations,” he said .

Wong also hoped to see Tiger Air and Jetstar and of course, some airlines from china to fly here.

“It is not an easy task to connect ourselves with the rest of the world but we have to have our tourism infrastructure facilities and hotels are one of them.”

On the Merdeka Place & Suites 10th Anniversary, Wong congratulated the management and the  board of directors for a job well done.

He said the hotel evoked nostalgic feeling of the past or past history of Kuching.

“If you walk around the hotel, the old images of Kuching are all captured and displayed in this hotel and people coming to the hotel would walk down the memory,” he added.

He said the hotel had contributed immensely towards the development of the State’s tourism industry.

“Service industry is easier said than done while some said that it is a commodity that is sold with a commercial value and so we have to handle it with care. In the service industry, care is important. If you have caring attitude, easily approachable and highly responsive, then you can serve with great efficiency.”

He stressed that Sarawak had gone through a period of important industrious development and reminded the hotel’s staff that there were ups and downs - there were good times and there were difficult times.  He was glad that so many of the hotel’s staff had been stayed for the past 10 years.

Also present at the event were Housing Minister, Dato Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, State Secretary, Datuk Amar Wilson Baya Dandot, Tan Sri  Datuk Amar Dr Haji Sulaiman Daud, Datuk Abang Abdul Karim Tun Openg, the Managing Director of Merdeka Palace & Suites, Ikhwan Zaidel, members of the board of directors, senior government officials and prominent corporate figures.
