SEREMBAN: Airbus will conduct an 18-month feasibility study on the setting up of an aviation hub here, a state exco member said.

State investment, industrialisation, entrepreneurship, education and human capital committee chairman Dr Mohamad Rafie Ab Malek said if all worked out, Malaysia would be home to the French aircraft maker’s fifth facility in the world after Toulouse, Hamburg, Tianjin and Alabama.
