SEPANG: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is beefing up security in all its airports in Malaysia as well as the Sabiha Gokcęn International Airport (Sabiha Airport) in Istanbul, Turkey.
MAHB managing director Datuk Badlisham Ghazali said more security personnel and police have been added to heighten the safety of all of airports operating under the company.
He said the company is also closely monitoring events that will unfold in the next couple of days following Turkey's declaration of a three-month state of emergency.
Business remains as usual at Sabiha Airport with airlines continuously flying in and out of Istanbul, Badlisham added.
Turkey's President Racep Tayyep Erdogan announced today that the country is under a three-month state of emergency following a failed military coup attempt last Friday.
On June 29, Turkey's Ataturk Airport was subjected to terrorist bombings which left 45 dead and hundreds wounded.
