KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Malaysia Airports announced yesterday that, total passenger movements surpassed 100 million in 2023, the first time since 2020, reaching 120 million passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airports’ operator said in a statement that, this showed a substantial recovery rate of 84.6 percent against 2019 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite rising air fares, inflation and severe weather changes, local airports contributed significantly, registering a record breaking 81.9 million total passenger movements, a 77.8 percent recovery of 2019 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Dec, 2023, airports in Malaysia experienced a further uptick in passenger traffic, with a total of 7.7 million recorded, in line with long year-end holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The international sector saw an 18 percent increase to four million from 3.4 million passengers in Nov, 2023, while the domestic sector saw a 16 percent increase to 3.7 million from 3.2 million passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Malaysia’s aviation remains firmly on a trajectory of recovery, with a total of 72 airlines operating actively within Malaysia Airports’ network of local airports at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 55 percent surge from the preceding year has also resulted in a robust connection to a total of 147 destinations, 113 international and 34 domestic destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The encouraging traffic demand continued to be evident, as the group recorded four million international passengers in Malaysia in Dec, 2023, the highest since Feb, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was driven by the reopening of China’s borders, increase in airlines seat capacity and new aircraft deliveries.– NNN-BERNAMA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
