Air traffic rights applications soar 210% in 2Q

Mavcom executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim said the commission remained committed to its role as the commercial and economic regulator of the Malaysian civil aviation industry.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) has reported a 210% jump in air traffic rights (ATR) applications in the second quarter of 2022 (2Q22) compared with the same period last year.

It said the notable increase was driven by the reopening of Malaysia’s international borders in April 2022, coupled with airlines mapping out their international network to align with the reopening of international borders by other countries.
