KUALA LUMPUR: Perak will ensure that extension work involving the runway at the Sultan Azlan Shah (LTSAS) Airport in Ipoh, Perak, adheres to construction procedures. This is to prevent problems, which had plagued the airport following its upgrade and expansion, said Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu. He said in extending the runaway, priority would be given to ensure that the ground could deal with the new construction. ‘The previous plan was to extend the runway, making it a 2.5km stretch to accommodate larger-sized aircraft. This is not good for the country.’The federal government in tabling the 2020 Budget had allocated RM150 million for upgrading the airport.
