MAHB expects Covid-19 vaccine rollout to lift airport traffic

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd sees a gradual recovery in domestic air travel over the next few months once daily Covid-19 cases are reduced, interstate travel restrictions are lifted and confidence of air travellers builds up with the increasing number of populations vaccinated.

The airport operator reported a sharp drop in January traffic, largely due re-introduction of the movement control order (MCO) on Jan 13 and restricted curfew in Turkey.
