We continue to recognise the best in the aviation industry at KLIA Awards 2016. As part of our many initiatives to establish KLIA as a preferred ASEAN Hub, the prestigious event is an annual event that honours its partners for their outstanding performances and services. The event is meant to spur the KLIA airport community to constantly push the boundaries of distinction in their respective fields, thus raising KLIA’s and Malaysia’s stature in the eyes of the world.

The world’s first proof of concept for preclearance of Hajj pilgrims at the point of departure was conducted for the first time at KLIA on 24 August 2018. This was an initiative led by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) under KSA Vision 2030. This initiative is aimed at facilitating the arrivals of all pilgrims into KSA. Specifically, this initiative will eliminate the need for long queues by pilgrims at immigration points in KSA.
Through our Corporate Integrity Unit, we established the Corporate Integrity Plan which is meant to serve as a framework in instilling integrity in work practices for employees. The pledging and signing of Ikrar Bebas Rasuah was also extended to all employees of Malaysia Airports.
