Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng and his wife Betty Chew outside the Penang Supreme Court building at Light Street, George Town, today.
On Nov 27, 2017, former transport minister Liow Tiong Lai told Lim in a parliamentary reply that PIA would be upgraded from its capacity of 6.5 million passengers per year to 12 million. On Kedah’s plans to build a new airport in Kulim, about 45 minutes’ drive from the Penang Bridge, Lim said they would have no serious effect on Penang’s economy.
“I think most are used to Penang. In that respect, the airport will be built on a competitive basis. We hope it can be complementary ,” he said. He said the government hopes to push the figure of 16 million passengers to 20 million so that it can cater to air traffic up till 2035.

Even a 'cargo-only' Kulim airport will impact Penang badly, says ChowHe says reports by two consultants also indicated the Kulim airport will be in direct competition to the Penang airport. Looks like a politically motivated. It's dumb to have two airports at such close proximity. Just shut the kulim airport. It's faster to reach Alor Star with car then by plane. Hari ini dalam sejarah - You got ‘hood’ to go against your mentor onot? Your mentor Ah Eng aka Putrajaya accountant has changed ship already you know? He now supports Kulim airport already ler. 🤨 Think about it, the direct beneficiaries are the Industrial parks in Kulim and Batu Kawan, Penang island on the ecological system and liveability, and whole Malaysia, financially.
