KUALA LUMPUR – It is not uncommon for the market to submit proposals to the government on developing new airports or taking over existing ones, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB).
The airport operator said this in a statement today to provide clarification over a report on the takeover of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, more commonly known as Subang airport, by a private business entity.
“This has occurred a number of times in the past, and as part of the process, the government will seek our input on the matter.
“Together with the Malaysia Aviation Group, we have given our preliminary views,” said MAHB, adding that it has not received details on the proposal and no discussions have been held with the government regarding the matter.
It said the views of regulators, such as the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia and Malaysian Aviation Commission, should be taken into consideration before any decision is made. – Bernama, May 6, 2021
