Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, in reply to his oral question in Parliament, said any proposal on the development of a new airport, including the proposals to upgrade the PIA and develop the proposed Kulim International Airport would be considered only after the NASP study is finalised by the Government.
