Over the past two years or so, Sarawak has initiated plans to launch its own state-owned airline. Now, it looks like the airline, which is yet to be named, is set to take off soon, with Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari optimistic that it’ll start operation before 2025.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook today announced that all airlines must provide mandatory full refunds to passengers of flights delayed by 5 hours or more. This new regulation will come into force starting this 2 September.

Earlier today, Malaysia Airlines recently posted an update on their Facebook page stating that due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, any customers who booked flights between 10 and 31 March 2020 will be eligible to re-book their flights to another date for free. However, it is best to note that you’re only eligible to re-book only once for free and any subsequent booking will be subjected to the usual rescheduling fee.
