Fewer air passengers seen amid Covid resurgence


Mavcom executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim (pic) said the commission’s downward revision of passenger traffic for 2021 highlighted the difficult task of weighing the underlying challenges faced by the industry.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) has revised its passenger traffic forecast this year, expecting a contraction of between 22.9% and 29.1% year-on-year (y-o-y), due to the recent resurgence of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia and globally.

It said the revision would translate to between 18.9 million and 20.6 million passengers for 2021.
