Subang Airport to be redeveloped into ‘regional aviation hub’, says transport minister

6 February 2023

Malaysia’s Subang Airport is set to be redeveloped into a premium city airport and aviation hub after the Cabinet approved of plans for its rejuvenation last week.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Monday (Feb 6) said that the redevelopment works under the Subang Airport Regeneration Plan (SARP) will upgrade the airport into a “regional aviation hub”.

Speaking to local media, Mr Loke said the plan will see the airport – known formally as the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport – handle up to eight million passengers annually.

“I think this is a major game-changer as far as Subang Airport is concerned,” Mr Loke was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.

Mr Loke told local media that there were seven areas that the redevelopment plan will focus on. These include the introduction of commercial jet passenger flights for general aviation, business aviation, urban air mobility as well as regional commercial flight operations among others.

“The end goal would be to turn Subang Airport into a regional aviation hub with a maximum capacity of eight million annual passengers, which will create thousands of high-value jobs in Malaysia,” Mr Loke was quoted as saying by The Star.

Airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has been given two months to develop a working business plan for the redevelopment of Subang Airport, The Star reported.
