KUCHING: Sarawak-owned AirBorneo is still at the preliminary planning stage for expansion to serve regional destinations, says state Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin.

He said the airline, which took over from MASwings Sdn Bhd at the start of the year, was currently focusing on serving the existing rural air services (RAS) routes in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan.
