“Meanwhile, Dubai’s aviation sector is based on its role as a transit hub, which relies on connectivity and its airports’ interlining capabilities rather than domestic demand,” he said. However, the prickly point here is that the current single operator system, which means that there is no competition, making the sector lull and unattractive, he said.
Recently, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd received approval for a 35-year extension on operating agreements until February 11, 2069. The extension means replacing the airport operator’s previous two OAs signed on February 12, 2009, with four new OAs ― for the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Sarawak airports, Sabah airports, and designated airports in Peninsular Malaysia.
The new OAs, which are scheduled to be finalised in June, are expected to provide some space for MAHB in planning investment for the airport, whereas under the previous OAs, the capital expenditure for expansion was borne by the government. “We need to optimise the spending as we currently invest a lot on land transport, especially rail in Peninsular Malaysia. We can optimise the spending by improving the connectivity.”
Actually there are quite a few airports in the country which are not run by MAB. Wool over the eyes is it?
Yes. And lousy airports. Should offer air Asia to run one of the smaller airports just to c how they do it. Couldn’t b any worse.
Hish, KLIA is already corrupted with foreign baggage handlers and security guards. Now, want to privatise airports to profit-motivated entities from quasi-govt MAHB? With EVERY privatisation comes with price hikes and eventual lay offs.
anthonyloke guanenglim tonypua limkitsiang Yes!Yes!Yes! You and DAP have betrayed the Rakyat by extending MAHB's monopoly contract for whole of Msia by 35 years to 2069. Instead of promotong fair competition you have enabled Umnoputras to thrive! cc weechookeong
