Jeffrey Kitingan: Time for Borneon Civil Aviation Authority

KOTA KINABALU, April 25 — The ongoing spat on high airfares to Sabah and Sarawak for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri festival between the current and previous ministers of transport not only highlights the high, expensive and unreasonable airfares for both sectors, said Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Panglima Jeffrey Kitingan.

Jeffrey added that the time has come for the establishment of a Borneon Civil Aviation Authority to regulate and look after the aviation industry in Sabah and Sarawak. While the BCAA will be focused to regulate and look after the best interests of the aviation industry in the Borneo States. There have been reports of issues and delays in the handling of aviation matters in Sabah by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia .

With the better knowledge of the local circumstances and the understanding of the needs of Sabah and Sarawak, he said the BCAA can create the much needed impetus to alleviate the airline industry to achieve greater heights. In the longer term, the BCAA could benefit not only Sabah but the national aviation industry as a whole.
