GEORGE TOWN: Plans for an airport in Kedah, even if it is only for cargo, will have a negative impact for Penang, says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

He said cargo services at Penang International Airport have not reached full capacity and there was still room for growth.

"An airport in Kedah will have negative impact on Penang unless the overall plan shows that there could be a win-win situation for both states. "However, the survey done to build the airport was a comprehensive one that included both passengers and cargo," he said. To a question from Goh Choon Aik on plans to build an airport on one of islands under the Penang South Reclamation project, Chow said it would need to be studied.
