New airline AirBorneo

[AIRwin]

Will it change to the IATA code AB which ironically was used by Borneo Airways (before Air Berlin and Bonza)?

Basically the 'prop' division of MH that operates within Borneo - ATR 72-500s and Twin Otters.

Malaysian will still fly to / from Borneo using MH and FY (Firefly) aircraft, alongside Air Asia and Batik Malaysia.

With Sarawak taking control, hopefully they will shift their HQ back to Miri where it used to be 10 plus years ago. Its currently in Sabah (KK). But Maswings has been crying out for an interested owner thats willing to put some resources into the carrier for a decade or more so this is a welcome development.

I also hope the new deals for Sarawak to keep more of the oil and gas money will be sufficient to cover all the investment Sarawak has done as of late. The new CM seems to be on a roll...
