LETTER | Apart from KLIA2, the airport has not undergone any expansion and has declined in its competitiveness compared with regional peers.
| With the recent resignation of Malaysia Airport Holdings Bhd’s chief executive, Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin, PAS Central’s Economic, Real Estate and Entrepreneur Development Committee feels the time is right for the federal government to re-evaluate the aviation industry’s entire well-being and development.
Hence, given the current need for new economic impetus and ideas, perhaps it is also timely for the government and MAHB to take amplify on the ongoing revamp and consider the expansion or outright construction of a new airport altogether. Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport, built in 2006, now handles 63 million passengers every year and has been undergoing expansion since 2016 that is scheduled to be completed by 2021. Its next target is to increase its capacity to 125 passengers every year.
