Brunei to allow more access to AirAsia??

Crazy or what, those people who let AirAsia "steal" passengers from Brunei to KK and Kuching (See today's Borneo Bulletin).

Tiger Air was given approval several months back and yet Brunei still haven't let them fly in (I'm assuming its Brunei side still lagging here). Why gives AirAsia priority???

Do all those policymakers up there realize how far develop KK is already by now? It used to be a ghost town but now, it is expanding far bigger than Brunei. AirAsia is having its second hub in KK, that could cater flights from KK to China, the Philippines, etc... Almost every few minutes there will be a flight landing or leaving KK aiport. How about in Brunei? After several hours then you get to see one aircraft landing or departing from Brunei Airport.

AirAsia is buying more and more new aeroplanes and yet Brunei??? Is RBA thinking of anything new to buy to replace the old Airbus/Boeing aircraft???? I guess they could "think" but couldnt do much about it.

Even Singapore airlines is reducing its flights to Osaka, Japan and Bangkok (coz many budget airlines flying there) and diverting flights to Brisbane and Dubai.

Entah, why is the transport industry in Brunei is not friendly to others and YET letting others to monopoly the industry... Kan buat airport baru pun nada kena approve, just expand the old one they say... who wants to come to Brunei? I see the amazing developments in Sabah now, so many international flights flying there, and yet Brunei, supposedly more advance and richer neighbour, yet in reality...............................................

Why let it be??? Brunei must have more investments in its leisure industry so it could REALLY compete with Sabah or Sarawak!

Don't just invest in other countries when other countries wouldn't even invest in Brunei. No one is going to help Brunei, unless Brunei helps Bruneians!
