Malaysia records 9.2mil air passengers in Jan 2025

Quick Summary:

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's air passenger traffic reached 9.2 million in January 2025, marking a 28.2 per cent surge from January 2024, said the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM).

MAVCOM attributed this robust growth to increased travel demand during the Chinese New Year and school holiday season, along with the restoration of seat capacity on both international and domestic routes.

Meanwhile, MAVCOM executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim said the continued growth in passenger traffic underscores the resilience of Malaysia’s aviation sector and its growing role in regional connectivity.
