Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund and public pension provider are considering taking Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd. private, according to people familiar with the matter, as trading in the airport operator was suspended Wednesday.

Khazanah Nasional Bhd. and the Employees Provident Fund are working with an adviser on a possible deal, the people said, asking not to be named as the process is private. Khazanah owns about 33% of Malaysia Airports and EPF holds close to 8%, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
