SEPANG - Penang continues to demonstrate its attractiveness as a top travel destination as is evident by the surge in international arrivals at Penang International Airport (PEN) in March 2024.  Although March is not a peak travel period, PEN saw a 5% increase in total international passenger movements, rising from 313,000 passengers in the preceding month to 328,000. Among others, the increase was attributed to the addition of a new foreign carrier, Fly Dubai (FZ) which operates daily flights directly to PEN from Dubai International Airport (DXB).

PENANG –Penang International Airport (IATA Code: PEN) has cleaned up and carried out repair works after a storm hit the island on Friday night. Despite the damages to the airport, we are glad to share that no passengers were injured during the ordeal.

Some of the damages that incurred included partially torn roof and ceiling and broken glass doors and signage. A car was also reportedly hit by a damaged sculpture.
