Malaysia wants to reclaim airspace delegated to Singapore

Malaysia’s transport minister has reportedly said that the country plans to take back airspace over south Johor that it has delegated to Singapore. The comment, made by Anthony Loke in parliament, was in response to a question on whether the development in the areas of Pasir Gudang in Johor, including the Johor Port, would be compromised by Singapore’s plans to boost commercial flights out of Seletar airport. The member of parliament also asked Loke when the govt intends to “take back” its delegated airspace in Southern Johor from Singapore. Loke responded that the govt has opposed to Singapore’s plan to implement an instrument landing system at Seletar airport, which is just 2km from the Malaysia across the Strait of Johor. <br/>
