SEPANG – KL International Airport (KLIA) welcomes the deployment of K9 units at strategic locations within its terminals as part of the 17 measures to strengthen airport security, enhance the detection of prohibited items and reinforce deterrence in high-traffic public areas and restricted zones.
The deployment will cover three key areas: the Departure Hall, the Arrival Hall and the baggage sorting area. This layered security approach aims to strengthen coverage across passenger-facing and back-of-house areas, complementing existing security arrangements.
Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani, Managing Director of Malaysia Airports, said that the deployment of K9 units will complement existing security arrangements and reinforce KLIA’s collective efforts to protect passengers, visitors and airport personnel, “This collaboration also allows our Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel to remain focused on their core responsibility of safeguarding airport users and facilities. We will continue to support the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) and the K9 units in ensuring that KLIA remains a safe, comfortable and clean airport for everyone.”
The K9 units will be stationed at the check-in areas to facilitate the early detection of prohibited items and potential security threats associated with targeted flights. Additionally, they will be deployed at the Customs inspection area to assist in detecting prohibited items, drugs and smuggled goods. Designated rest areas have also been identified at these locations, with handlers on hand to attend to the K9 units between patrols.
Beyond public areas, K9 units will also be deployed in the baggage sorting area to support security checks on checked baggage before it is loaded onto aircraft or transferred to the baggage reclaim area, extending security coverage to back-of-house operations.
To facilitate implementation, KLIA will coordinate with the relevant agencies on operational procedures, including the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), designated access arrangements for K9 units and handlers, and the provision of appropriate support facilities within the terminals. A pilot phase will be carried out to assess the effectiveness of the selected locations and identify any necessary adjustments to passenger flows and deployment schedules.
The commencement of K9 operations inside the terminals is scheduled for 26 October 2026.
SEPANG – Malaysia Airports and Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) are strengthening their collaboration to advance aviation sustainability, recognising the need for closer alignment between airports and airlines in supporting Malaysia's transition towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The two organisations jointly hosted Aviation Sustainability Day 2026 at Sama-Sama Hotel, KL International Airport (KLIA), bringing together representatives from government agencies, regulators and industry partners to discuss practical approaches to decarbonisation, including adoption of cleaner energy, circular economy initiatives and waste reduction, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and more sustainable airport and airline operations.
Malaysia Airports Managing Director Dato' Mohd Izani Ghani said the transition would require airports and airlines to align their priorities, infrastructure planning and longterm investments.
"Malaysia Airports and Malaysia Aviation Group have long played complementary roles in shaping Malaysia's aviation landscape, with KLIA serving as MAG's home base and the country's principal international gateway. Our shared commitment to strengthening Malaysia's connectivity must now extend to advancing a more sustainable aviation future.
"Our respective decarbonisation journeys cannot progress independently. We must ensure that our investments and operational priorities complement one another so that we can achieve meaningful progress together."
MAG recently became the first airline group in ASEAN to achieve certification under the Sustainable Procurement module of IATA's Integrated Sustainability Program, and the first in Malaysia to retire CORSIA-eligible emissions units (EEUs), with 80,100 units retired towards its Phase 1 compliance obligations.
Building on these milestones, Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of MAG, said, "The progress of aviation sustainability reflects the spirit of Malaysia Inc, where government, regulators, airports, airlines and industry partners work together towards shared national objectives. Through MAG's Mid-Term Sustainability Roadmap 2026–2035, the Group is translating its net-zero commitment into measurable priorities across its operations and value chain. The next step is to turn these priorities into action through stronger partnerships and coordinated implementation across the aviation ecosystem."
Meanwhile, MAG's Mid-Term Sustainability Roadmap outlines the Group's priorities aligning with its Long-Term Business Plan 3.0 (LTBP3.0) across operations, facilities, the value chain, people and governance. The Group targets to reduce emissions intensity to 30%-35% by 2030 and 40%-45% by 2035, reduce building energy intensity by 20%, and achieving a 55% waste diversion rate by 2030.
MAG's collaboration with Malaysia Airports on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable energy, ground electrification and resource efficiency seeks to advance Malaysia's aviation decarbonisation agenda and strengthen Kuala Lumpur's competitiveness as a premier regional aviation hub.
Malaysia Airports' Net-Zero Decarbonisation Journey establishes a clear pathway to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 for Scope 1 (direct operational emissions) and Scope 2 (emissions from purchased energy), followed by selected Scope 3 emissions (those generated across its wider value chain) by 2050.
One of the key initiatives in this ongoing journey is the development of the 36MWp KLIA Aeropolis Solar Park, featuring 45MWh of battery energy storage to avoid approximately 35,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This project serves as a cornerstone for a broader rollout of upcoming decarbonisation efforts across the areas of renewable energy expansion, terminal energy efficiency, Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL), and the progressive electrification of ground vehicles.
These commitments support the Malaysia Aviation Decarbonisation Blueprint and Malaysia's national ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as early as 2050, while contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, climate action and partnerships.
The event also provided an opportunity for industry stakeholders to explore closer cooperation in addressing the investment, infrastructure and operational challenges associated with aviation decarbonisation.
