Malaysia's Aviation Sector: Turbulence Or Smooth Sailing?

In 2024, the global aviation sector saw a resurgence in passenger numbers, including a return in demand for Asia-Pacific travel. Back home, Malaysia Airlines has had to deal with the fallout from operational mishaps, AirAsia remains under PN17 status and efforts to privatise Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd sparked controversy. Shukor Yusof, Founder and Primary Analyst, Endau Analytics, shares his round-up on these issues and what to expect in 2025.
