Malaysia To Take Back Control of Airspace
New air traffic control center in Kuala Lumpur targets next year for beginning operations

Malaysia wants to take back control and management of its airspace, which was delegated to Singapore in 1974. According to the Minister of Transport (MOT) Anthony Loke, Malaysia is reviewing the agreement with the island republic and sees it as its top priority. Loke said it was Malaysia’s sovereign right to manage its own airspace after 45 years.
