Penang hopes airport will be included in Vaccinated Travel Lane with Singapore


GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): The Penang state government hopes the Federal Government will consider including Penang International Airport (PIA) in the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between Malaysia and Singapore as this is set to benefit the country’s manufacturing landscape.

State tourism and creative economy committee chairman Yeoh Soon Hin said in a statement on Wednesday (Nov 10) that PIA’s inclusion in the Malaysia-Singapore VTL, which will take effect on Nov 29, would be a strong anchor to attract more air traffic from Singapore.
