SEPANG: Airports operated by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) have shown signs of a gradual recovery at an average of 42 percent since the Covid-19 pandemic, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri, Dr. Wee Ka Siong (pix).
In March, during the first Movement Control Order (MCO), international arrivals at airports were about two percent, while local arrivals were about three percent, he said.
He said passenger traffic movements in July and August were around 1.3 million respectively, while in June 2020, they were only around 430,000.
“Although this is a sign of improvement, it will be some time before we see the numbers rise to pre-covid-19 levels,” Wee told reporters today, after launching MAHB’s e-commerce platform, shopMYairports for Providing airport retailers means recovering from the unprecedented Covid-19.
MAHB manages 39 airports in Malaysia with five international airports, 16 domestic and 18 STOLports (short takeoff and landing).
On the e-commerce platform, Wee said it offered airport retailers a more creative and innovative approach to business.
“Digitization is the key to embracing the new normal to make it easier for customers while they experience seamless, secure and contactless shopping.
“Most airport retailers are classified as small and medium-sized businesses, so it is critical to support them with the right tools and skills, as well as help them with a business plan for long-term sustainability,” he said.Named
