Singapore keen to establish air travel bubble with Malaysia

SINGAPORE: After having reached an in-principle agreement to establish a bilateral Air Travel Bubble with Hong Kong recently, Singapore is now keen to have a similar arrangement with Malaysia when the time is right.

The republic's Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said this in an exclusive interview with The Straits Times' news editor Karamjit Kaur on Thursday.

"I would really like to have an air bubble with Malaysia," he said.

"But as of now, the cases in Malaysia are quite high, so I think we will have to wait and see ... We do know and our healthcare officials' assessment is that Malaysia takes the virus control very seriously. So I certainly hope they will succeed in suppressing this current round of spikes.
