The Perak government will be applying to the federal government for funds to upgrade the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport in Ipoh, says Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
He said the increased number of passengers arriving in the airport has made customs, immigration and quarantine facilitation among the urgent requirements.
“The number of passengers coming through the Ipoh airport has increased and the airport is the busiest it has ever been.
“Last year, there were a total 98,768 passengers. As of August, there have been 124,235 passengers, which shows a clear increase,” he said, after witnessing the signing of a five-year agreement for promotion and flight marketing between the state government and Malindo Air at the State Secretariat building today.
The agreement was signed by state secretary Datuk Seri Abdul Puhat Mat Nayan and Malindo Air commercial general manager Mohammad Hariss Abdullah.
Zambry said there were currently four flight companies operating at the local airport, with at least one flight a day to Singapore and back.
These include Fire Fly, Sriwijaya Air and Tiger Air, which operates additional flights to Johor Baru and Kuala Namu, Indonesia.
“Although the Transport Ministry had previously approved an allocation for the Sultan Azlan Shah airport to be upgraded as it is now, the extent of improvements were not as we specified.
“At the time, many did not have faith that our airport would flourish after almost 10 years of inactivity.
“But now it has picked up and we hope the federal government will help us to accomplish our progress plans,” he said. – October 13, 2015.
