A forumer on Skyscrapercity forum read in Lionmag (Lion Air inflight magazine) March 2019 edition, that Lion Air’s subsidiary Wings Air (IW) is applying for rights to operate flight from Lampung (TKG) in Sumatra to Seletar (XSP).

I like how this is being covered by so much local media. Possible PR move to get Malaysia to get their shit together?
