Penang direct flights to other countries
There are several direct flights to other countries, mainly in Asia, but apparently there used to be quite a few long-haul flights into Penang airport. Malaysia Airlines used to fly to the UK from Penang. Alas, no more.
Some talk of expanding flights again. Penang state is trying to get a deal going with a Korean company, Asiana, to do direct flights to south Korea. Also talk of AirAsia doing direct flights to Myanmar.

Oh for a direct flight to the UK again (or anywhere in Europe for that matter).

Re: Penang direct flights to other countries
Just a thought but has anyone been to Bayan Lepas recently....maybe MH370 is parked there as it was last seen on radar as a lost aircraft overhead RMAF Butterworth.
Sadly the F/A 18D Hornet all-weather/night fighters were all on stand-down or something... so never scrambled to see who the unrecognized aicraft overhead might be. Lucky it wasn't an enemy aiming for the Petronis towers.
