Penang aims for more direct flight operations

GEORGE TOWN: Penang aims to entice more direct flight operations with the world’s major cities to develop better connectivity for economic growth.

In a statement on Wednesday by the federal government, Yeoh said that this would be able to cater to over 12 million passenger annually and accommodate the increasing traffic in the next few years.

"After the completion of the project in four years, the state government would be able to turn Penang into a better-connected world aviation hub and ensure that the northern part of Malaysia would have access to global markets," he added.
