SEPANG: Malaysia’s aviation industry is set to soar with improved air traffic control facilities, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Najib said the new RM650mil Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KL ATCC) – shaped like a soaring ‘wau bulan’ or the traditional Kelantanese “moon kite”– would be a major milestone for the industry.
