dailyexpress.com.my, 15 June, 2007

Kota Kinabalu: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Raymond Tan said the intention by Firefly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines to extend its operations to Sabah, bodes well for the State's tourism development.
"The services by Firefly can assist the State especially in tourism which is the priority sector. So if there is any carriage that can assist in the programme, I think they are welcome," he said.
Tan, who is also Infrastructure Development Minister, said the State Government has not received any formal application from the airline or the Transport Ministry, saying he only found out about it from the media. "I think the Transport Ministry would have known about the situation in Sabah, that our Kota Kinabalu International Airport being the second busiest airport in the country so we encourage actually any form of carriage to come and assist us," he said.
