The PATA Aviation Committee gave its inaugural award for “Exceptional Service to Aviation” to Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad, the Managing Director of Malaysia Airports.
The award, presented April 20 at the PATA Board meeting in Kuala Lumpur, recognizes that Malaysia Airports runs its airports as a profitable, self-sustaining business. The privately run airport company was the first in the world to be listed on the stock market. Since privatisation in 1992 and becoming a publicly listed company in 1999, Malaysia Airports has increased its profits, yet its charges are the lowest in its competitive set.
