has been around two months since the Employees Provident Fund and Khazanah announced plans to take the Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd private.
In March, KLIA was ranked the eighth worst airport in Asia by Skytrax. Compared with 2001, where it was ranked the second best airport in the world. What a shame. Beyond statistics and surveys, longtime users of Malaysian airports such as KLIA and the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang know the painful experience of long queues, baggage handling problems and air-condition breakdowns.
The fact is that GIP has a track record in turning around airports throughout the world. For example, when it took over the Edinburgh Airport in 2012, passenger numbers rose from 9.2 million to 14.4 million last year. The number of destinations also increased to 225 from 141. Connectivity improved. That is what Malaysian airports really need now. It needs to improve connectivity so we can become a competitive hub once again.
I think we should just let the professionals do their jobs. We have lost so much time and ground, and missing the point that we need to make Malaysian airports competitive again.
