: Penang government will not be pushing for the federal government to speed up the Penang International Airport expansion project due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“So we leave it to MAHB to consider all factors, but the fact remains with pre-Covid-19, Penang airport is due for expansion but probably the plan is now put on hold because of the pandemic. The chief minister was responding to the announcement by Transport Ministry that any proposal for new airport development, including for the expansion and upgrading of the LTAPP, will only be considered after the National Airports Strategic Plan study has been finalised.
However, Chow said now the Penang airport passenger volume has dropped to less than 1,000 passengers a day.
