The Melaka International Airport (Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Batu Berendam) was officially opened on last year 5th May 2009 and officially declared opened by Prime Minister of Malaysia on 4th February 2010. Although it was officially opened 2 times, but until today I've never heard about any news that Melaka International Airport has 'officially opened!'
I mean, when we said officially opened means that the airport is started provides either local or overseas flights. But until now, I've never heard about any news from my friends or somebody else that it has provided that service.
I've read an article news from The Star said that the Firefly would start operating on 28 May 2010 (Friday), but until today I've never seen any firefly's Logo / Signboard that hanging at the Melaka International Airport or couldn't see any Firefly counter inside. This is ridiculous and bullshit, becoz a lot of reports claimed that Airasia would start operating end of 2009 and Firefly would start operating on 28th May 2010, but i as a Malaccan, sometimes i will always pass by the airport (Batu Berendam and Taman Merdeka), I've never seen or heard about that both of the companies have already operating in the Melaka International Airport! All the reports & news are bullshit! Never trust them anymore!
I've been waiting for the Airport to be 'officially opened' since last year, i thought that this year i can take a flight to Medan or Langkawi without have to go to LCCT (From Melaka to LCCT- very long distance to me), but until now, the airport still not yet operates. Craps!
The RM190Mil airport seems like wasted if continue to leave like this. Government should put some efforts to attract Airasia, Firefly or Mas to operate in Melaka International Airport as soon as possible.
I'm waiting for their good news.
