Miri Airport expansion master plan urgently needed as maximum passenger capacity exceeded, says Sarawak transport minister

MIRI, April 5 ― Miri Airport urgently needs a master plan to expand its facilities to cater to the growing number of passengers, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin .

“It is estimated that the number will continue to rise in 2024. If the airport facility is insufficient to cater for passengers of higher capacity, how can we get people coming to Miri.“Therefore, a long-term plan is much needed to have overall upgrade and extension for Miri Airport, to which I made this call to the Ministry of Transport Malaysia,” Lee told a press conference today after visiting Miri Airport’s aerobridge project.

The optimisation plan involves rehabilitating existing aerobridges and pavement, as well as adding another bay with additional aerobridges.During the tour today, Lee inspected the Bay 3 pavement, where RM1.4 million rehabilitation works began last month. “Only after the completion of both pavement and replacement of aerobridge in Bay 3, the project will proceed to Bay 4,” he explained and appealed for passengers to be patient during the work progress.
