SEPANG- The Board of Directors of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (“Malaysia Airports” or “the Group”) welcomes the appointment of Tan Sri Dr. Azmil Khalid as its Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, effective 18 June 2026.
Tan Sri Dr. Azmil succeeds Dr. Nungsari Ahmad Radhi, who steps down after more than two years as Chairman following his recent appointment as a Director on the Board of Directors of Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”).
Tan Sri Dr. Azmil brings to Malaysia Airports a distinguished career spanning over three decades in corporate leadership, infrastructure development, and international business. He has held prominent executive positions, notably serving as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of both The AlloyMtd Group and ANIH Berhad from 2011 to 2017. Prior to that, he held the positions of Group Managing Director and subsequently Group President and CEO of MTD Capital Bhd. Currently, Tan Sri Dr. Azmil is the Group Chairman of AFA Group and serves as the President and CEO of AFK Group. He is also the Chairman of UEM Edgenta, as well as several other entities, including Sapura Industrial Berhad, Elridge Energy Holdings Berhad, and Cenviro Sdn. Bhd.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Hertfordshire and Northrop University, a Master of Business Administration from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Science by the University of Hertfordshire.
The Board of Directors wishes to express its deepest appreciation and gratitude to outgoing Chairman, Dr. Nungsari Ahmad Radhi, for his stewardship during a defining chapter in the Group’s history. Malaysia Airports underwent a landmark privatisation exercise during his tenure which saw the company delisting from Bursa Malaysia in February 2025 to become a private entity under the Gateway Development Alliance (GDA) consortium.
Under his leadership, the Group successfully crossed critical operational and structural milestones during its post-privatisation transformation period. This included driving pivotal capital projects and spearheading key terminal expansion initiatives across the network, including Penang and Kota Kinabalu International Airports. As a distinguished economist, Dr. Nungsari brought an invaluable perspective during his tenure to balance between the Group's commercial focus post-privatisation and its national duty to manage Malaysia's vital aviation infrastructure.
The Board and the management team are profoundly grateful to Dr. Nungsari for his visionary guidance and wish him every success as he moves on to contribute his vast expertise to the Board of Khazanah. At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Tan Sri Dr. Azmil Khalid as our new Chairman to lead Malaysia Airports into its next phase of growth and operational excellence.
The Board also wishes to announce that the Ministry of Finance (Incorporated) has approved the Board’s recommendation to extend Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani’s tenure as Managing Director for another two years, effective 1 August 2026. In maintaining steady leadership at the helm of executive management, the Board aims to strengthen organisational stability and ensure uninterrupted execution of Malaysia Airports' core strategic initiatives, towards positioning Malaysia as the most connected country in Asia Pacific.
