Airlines stopped using Melaka airport in absence of written agreements, says exco man

MELAKA: There are no bilateral agreements between airlines and the state government and this is why some carriers have discontinued commercial flight services at the Melaka International Airport (LTAM) in Batu Berendam, says Datuk Hameed Mytheen Kunju Basheer.

The Melaka Works, Infrastructure, Public Amenities and Transport Committee chairman said he discovered that there was not a single agreement signed previously to tie down the airlines to provide services for a stipulated time frame at LTAM and this has led to sudden decision by service providers to stop inbound and outbound flights.
