MALACCA: More air inter-connectivity is being sought for Malacca International Airport (LTAM) at Batu Berendam here following the decision by the Federal Government to extend the runway in a bid to accommodate larger aircraft.

State Transport, Project Rehabilitation and International Trade Committee chairman Datuk Lim Ban Hong said the runway will be extended to 2,500m without the need for land acquisitions while the work is expected to be completed in a short span of time.
