: Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has put forward three proposals to address concerns over plans to build an airport in Kulim, Kedah.There is already a plan to expand the Penang airport to cater for a passenger load of 12 million – double its current capacity. Instead, Chow said, the plan could be revised to expand the airport to cater to 25 million to 30 million passengers a year, enough for the northern region.

One alternative is to build a new airport in Seberang Prai to cater to the needs of Penang, Kedah and Perlis.
