These parties are required to abide to the standard procedures upon receiving their guests at PIA, effective today, 1 March 2016.
The main objective of the implementation is to ensure the smooth and systematic process of guest reception at PIA. This initiative is part of Malaysia Airports’ aspiration to improve passenger service levels at the airport and also to further enhance Malaysia’s reputation among tourists visiting the country. The implementation of this initiative is to ensure that passengers will be picked up by the legitimate parties with whom they have made prior arrangements.
