Malaysia Airports records 83.3m passenger movements in 2014

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) group recorded 83.3 million passenger movements in 2014, an increase of 4.7% from a year, but this was below its expectations due to the twin tragedies involving Malaysia Airlines.

MAHB said on Monday this was the first-time that passenger movements exceeded the 80 million mark, but added passenger traffic performance was affected by the negative sentiment from the two “major unprecedented” MAS incidents.
