The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (BSKU) is working to complete its preliminary report on the Sarawak Flying Doctor helicopter incident within 30 days, according to Malaysia's deputy transport minister. The announcement was made in Miri, where the crash occurred. Preliminary investigations have been underway since the incident, with BSKU gathering evidence and conducting interviews with relevant parties. The 30-day timeframe is consistent with international standards for air accident investigations of this nature. The Flying Doctor service, which provides emergency medical transport across Sarawak's remote regions, has been a critical lifeline for communities with limited healthcare access. Further details regarding the circumstances of the crash are expected to emerge once the preliminary report is released. Officials have indicated that a comprehensive final investigation report will follow the preliminary findings.
