Shafie: Borneo air travel players should cooperate to check high fares


KOTA KINABALU: A regional Bornean approach involving local airlines should be taken to resolve the problems of high airfares during festivals and school holidays, says former chief minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

He said Sabah Air, Sarawak's Hornbill Skyways and Royal Brunei Airlines could look at working together under an aviation bloc umbrella as a means of rationalising air travel costs.
