MAHB EXPECTS MORE AIRLINES TO LAND AT KLIA

SEPANG, July 29 (Bernama) -– Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) expects
more airlines to fly into the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) by
year-end.

"We are hoping to have two or three more airlines landing at the KLIA. These
could be from the Middle East. Lion Air has already come in," said Chief
Financial Officer Faizal Mansor, at a briefing on MAHB’s financial performance
for its first half of 2011, here Thursday.

"With Malaysia Airlines' move to join the third largest global
airline group, Oneworld, everything is positive. It will make KLIA stronger,"
he added.

On the progress in MAHB’s bid for the expansion of the Prince Mohammed Bin
Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah, Faisal said the group expects to know the outcome
of the technical perspective of the bid next month.

"We are hoping to score high in the technical area. The result of the whole
bid is expected to be known by year-end," he added.

He said MAHB is confident that it would stage a good performance in the
second half of its current financial year.

"We are optimistic on the region’s resilience in facing the economic
turbulence," he added.

He also said the MAHB is on track to achieve double-digit growth in the
number of passengers for its full-year performance ending December 31, 2011.

MAHB posted a net profit of RM170.1 million (USD1=RM3.2) for its first half
ended June 30
2011, an increase of 28.1 per cent from RM132.8 million in the previous
corresponding period.

Revenue for the same period grew by 23.5 per cent to RM1.26 billion from
RM1.02 billion.
