Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) had a meeting with the Saudi authorities on Monday to discuss a bid to manage the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
The move was announced by Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi via his Twitter account.
"Malaysia Airports will join a bid to manage and operate the King AbdulAziz International Airport, Jeddah," he wrote.
He said Malaysia Airports has extensive experience in managing international airports including in Hyderabad and Istanbul.
