Malaysia Airport Holdings Bhd (MAHB) managing director Bashir Ahmad Abdul Majid has requested the board to seek a suitable successor.

The contract for Bashir, who has been with the company since 2003, will end in June.

MAHB chairperson Dr Wan Aziz Wan Abdullah said the board, however, would like Bashir to continue to guide the company through the current challenges facing the aviation industry.

“The board will in due course identify a successor and will provide sufficient time for a proper transition.

“The board has deliberated on the matter and has forwarded the matter to the Finance Ministry for its decision,” he said.
