Penang-Singapore VTL-Air to start on March 16

PETALING JAYA: Fully vaccinated travellers from Singapore will be able to travel to Penang under the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) by air starting from March 16 without needing to undergo quarantine upon arrival, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

“The Governments of Malaysia and Singapore have reached a mutual agreement to expand the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) By Air to serve the Penang-Singapore route starting March 16.

“This VTL initiative will allow fully vaccinated travelers from between Penang and Singapore and vice-versa with participating airlines under the VTL without being required to quarantine upon arrival,” the Transport Minister said in a statement on Friday (March 4).

Dr Wee said that the latest Penang-Singapore VTL will commence with four flights per day equally shared between participating airlines operating in Malaysia and Singapore.

“The sale of VTL air tickets will begin as soon as possible,” he added.
