This is a testament to what synergistic and concerted efforts can do for the greater good of all. We thank our government, the Ministry of Transport, and various stakeholders for bringing this dedicated VTL to fruition.
We recorded healthy forward booking in the coming weeks for these sectors. It is truly exciting to see KLIA steadily bustling again after a quiet period for more than a year since the pandemic started.
