Umrah pilgrims handling at KLIA to be improved, says MAHB


MANJUNG: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) will hold a discussion with the Health Ministry and the National Security Council (NSC) to improve the handling of umrah pilgrims at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

MAHB chairman Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir (pic) said the discussion was necessary to find solutions to ensure that handling of umrah pilgrims would not take hours and complicate the movement of pilgrims who have just returned from the Holy Land causing congestions at KLIA arrival halls.
