Kuala Lumpur, 1 July 2026 – Khazanah Nasional welcomed the Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) recommendations on Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), reaffirming its commitment to bolster Malaysia’s aviation sector. The PAC’s proposals align with MAHB’s privatisation objectives, which focus on enhancing connectivity, passenger experience and airport competitiveness.

Market Impact

Khazanah said many PAC recommendations mirror existing or reinforced measures by MAHB and stakeholders to improve operations, stakeholder engagement and service quality across Malaysia’s airport network. The sovereign wealth fund emphasised the need for closer collaboration among airport operators, airlines, regulators and government agencies to ensure responsive development and long-term connectivity.

Dato’ Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir, Khazanah’s Managing Director, highlighted the significance of MAHB’s transformation agenda, stating that stronger airports underpin trade, tourism and economic competitiveness. He acknowledged the challenges ahead but expressed confidence in MAHB’s commitment to adopting global best practices and pursuing disciplined improvements. While passenger experience has shown progress, he noted that broader economic benefits require sustained investment and collaboration.

MAHB remains governed under established frameworks with oversight from relevant authorities, ensuring performance monitoring and capital project delivery. Khazanah pledged to support enhanced reporting structures and uphold high standards in procurement, project execution and integrity. It reaffirmed MAHB’s role as a strategic national asset, with sovereign functions such as security and border control remaining under government purview.

Khazanah will continue working with MAHB, regulators and partners to strengthen Malaysia’s airport network and deliver long-term value.
