Airports and airlines
The Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (formerly known as Subang International Airport) in Subang was Malaysia’s aviation hub from 1965 to 1998.
Airlines and airports play a critical role in tourism, trade and travel. Air links also help unify the nation and, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak, provide access to remote areas.
