KLIA Receives CAPA Large Airport of the Year 2024 Award
KL International Airport (KLIA) has been named CAPA Large Airport of the Year 2024 at the recent CAPA Airline Leader Summit & Awards for Excellence, held in Belgrade, Serbia. The global award, presented by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA), recognises airports handling over 30 million passengers annually that demonstrate exceptional strategic leadership and significant contributions to the aviation industry. The selection process involves independent research conducted by CAPA’s team of analysts and is chosen by an international panel of experts, with no reliance on customer surveys or popular votes. This marks the second time Malaysia Airports has been honoured by CAPA, having previously won the CAPA Asia Pacific Large International Airport Award in 2014.
In recognition of KLIA’s continued excellence in airport operations, Malaysia Airports' Managing Director, Dato' Mohd Izani Ghani, said, “It is an honour for KLIA to be named CAPA’s Large Airport of the Year 2024. This international recognition is a testament to the tireless efforts and unwavering commitment of our entire team in elevating KLIA’s presence on the global stage. It reflects the team’s dedication to delivering excellence across all aspects of airport operations, from the passenger experience to innovative infrastructure development.”
“Over the past year, we have undertaken many initiatives in enhancing the convenience, comfort, and satisfaction of every passenger. In a fast-evolving industry, we continue to focus on resilience, adaptability, and forward-thinking strategies to meet the ever-changing needs of travellers. This award inspires us to push boundaries even further, continuously enhance our services, and create lasting, meaningful experiences for everyone who passes through KLIA, especially with the upcoming ASEAN Summit 2025 and Visit Malaysia Year 2026. We are grateful to CAPA for this recognition, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us in our journey to redefine what an airport can be.”
