KUALA LUMPUR: Monthly domestic passenger movements across Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd’s (MAHB) network of airports in the country increased three-fold to 1.18 million passengers in October this year compared with the 362,000 passengers recorded in September.

This increase of 226 per cent followed the lifting of domestic travel restrictions which had also contributed to the group achieving more than one million total passenger traffic movements in Malaysia for the first time this year.
