GEORGE TOWN: Penang International Airport's (PIA) status as Malaysia’s second busiest airport in 2024 reflects its growing role as a key hub for both tourism and business amid the state's strong post-pandemic recovery.
State Tourism and Creative Economy Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said the PIA's growth in total passenger volume of 7.47 million last year, a 7.07% increase compared to 6.97 million passengers in 2023, shows the state’s investments in tourism over the past two years are paying off.
