KUCHING: Sarawak will upgrade MASwings from a rural to regional air service provider once its takeover of the airline is complete, says Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Premier said the state government, Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd and Malaysia Aviation Group signed a memorandum of understanding last month for the management of rural air services by acquisition of shares in MASwings.
