Malaysia Airports Holdings sees 3.2% growth in January
Passenger traffic across airports owned by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) saw a 3.2% increase to 6.85m passengers in Jan 2016, compared to 6.64m seen in the year-ago period. The airport operator said the increase was mainly due to growth in Chinese New Year travel, further boosted by new airline operations that have come on stream over the past 12 months. MAHB said 3.5m international and 3.3m domestic passengers brought an increase of 6% and 0.3% to the two sector figures. It said the growth was “higher than expected, despite cuts from Malaysia Airlines.” It said the loss of capacity from MAB was compensated for by both local and foreign carriers, but cited 2 LCCs as being key performers. “There was significant growth in AirAsia’s and Malindo’s traffic by above 10% and 35%, respectively,” MAHB said. <br/>
