SAASB Chairman Kenny Chua said while both parties covered a lot of grounds, there are still some matters to be worked on before the proposed project can take off.
“The MRO is something big for Sabah, but there are still certain matters that we need to work on and negotiate with the relevant parties.“One of the important matters is regarding land to build the facility. We need about five acres. We also need to put in place state-of-the-art technology and build more hangars,” he said in a statement, Tuesday. Chua said this in support of Deputy Chief Minister cum Keningau Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan’s call that part of the RM10.
In fact, our ambition is to make Sabah as the MRO hub in South East Asia,” said Chua, adding that this is a key element under the Sabah Government’s Sabah Maju Jaya development agenda. This, he said, is due to Sabah’s strategic location in the region. “Once we’re ready, commercial aircraft would no longer have to go to places like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore or Hong Kong for maintenance, repairs and overhaul services.
