  "account": "Batik Air will commence its new direct service from Miri to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (LTSAAS) in Subang, starting on January 1st. Chiew Choon Man, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, stated that this route will enhance the connectivity between Miri and the country's main economic center. The deputy minister believes that the new flight will facilitate travel for individuals frequently commuting for work, trade, education, healthcare, and family matters. He added that the airport's location is closer to the Kuala Lumpur city center and surrounding areas, providing additional ease, particularly in terms of ground transportation access and planning. Chiew Choon Man expressed his enthusiasm for the announcement, as the addition of this route is not merely about choosing a flight option but also about increasing the connectivity between Miri and the country's main economic hub. He stated that improved air connectivity has the potential to benefit the trade and tourism sectors, in addition to making travel between Miri and the Klang Valley easier for the public.",
