Malaysia Airports has completed negotiations with the Malaysia government to vary its development rights and a land lease agreement for the establishment of an aeropolis at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Under the new arrangements, the airport's development rights and land lease agreement for land in Sepang earmarked for the aeropolis have been extended to 99 years from November 17, 2022. The rights and agreement were due to expire in 2034. The land also has been carved out of the company's operating agreement for the running of KLIA.
Thompson Aero Seating will establish a facility to conduct tests on full-scale crash events at its brownfield site in County Down, Northern Island. The facility is scheduled to be operational by the northern hemisphere autumn of 2023.
