KUCHING, Jan 15: This is the latest approved flight schedules and frequencies to Kuching, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu and Limbang released by State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) effective today onwards.

“Each airline is given a different flight timing in order to assist them to have better passenger load for their flight,” he said.
Lee added that the latest information on flight schedule approved by SDMC has been released to the public via social media in advance so that the public can be fully aware of the changes to plan ahead.
