KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 – 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 16 March 2022.
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 VTL initiative has played an important role in strengthening flight connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore whilst contributing to economic and commercial recovery between the two neighbours.
Particularly in the tourism sector, which had been impacted heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic. The VTL. which was first initiated between the Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) route on 29 November 2021, has served 82,906 arriving passengers from Singapore as of 28 February 2022.
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.
Further information on pre-departure and entry conditions to Malaysia can be accessed at www.imi.gov.my. Details on requirement for VTL to Singapore can be reached at https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg.
