Where it all began...

Malaysia Airports Berhad was incorporated in 1991 when the Malaysian
Parliament passed a bill to separate the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA)
into two entities with different spheres of responsibilities.

DCA remains the regulatory body for the airports and aviation industry in
Malaysia whilst the newly created entity, Malaysia Airports Berhad is to focus on the operations, management and maintenance of airports. In November 1992,

Malaysia Airports Berhad was duly licensed by the Minister of Transport Malaysia to carry out its function as the airport operator.

The holding company, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) was incorporated as a public limited company in November 1999 and was thereafter listed on the Main Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange,
becoming the first airport operating company to be listed in Asia and the sixth in the world.

Company's Core Activities

The core activities include the management, operation and maintenance as well as development of airports, with primary importance being placed on the operational efficiency, safety and security of passengers,
cargo and aircraft operations. Besides its core business activities, MAHB has in its corporate structure, a few subsidiary companies to offer a range of aviation and non-aviation related products and services.

Revenue Base

The company's revenue base is divided into 2 main categories - aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue. Aeronautical revenue is mainly derived from landing fees, aerobridge charges, check-in-counter charges,
parking fees and the passenger service charges.

Non-aeronautical revenue comprises revenue generated from commercial activities, including duty free operations, hotel operations, free commercial zone operations, management of parking facilities and the lease of commercial space.

KLIA has pioneered the use of state-of-the-art technology in airport management known as Total Airport Management System (TAMS). TAMS, managed by Malaysia Airport (Technologies) Sdn. Bhd.,
consists of more than 40 systems and airport functions including air traffic management, baggage handling, passenger check-in and flight information display.
