Increased global connectivity the key

MAHB says it has introduced an airlines incentive programme to both local and foreign carriers aimed at accelerating traffic recovery.

MALAYSIA’S aviation sector is key to the growth in inbound tourist numbers which have flatlined at about 25 million to 27 million since 2013, with the exception of the Covid-19 period.

The Sarawak state government’s decision to take over MasWings with plans to turn it into a regional carrier to promote tourism to the state underscores its belief in connectivity and room for growth.
