A substandard ‘international airport’

A substandard ‘international airport’

There was lack of lighting at the baggage claim area and a serious shortage of baggage trolleys too. What a bad impression for visitors landing at Penang International Airport.

CJ Jimmy Leow have traveled extensively in SEA and have the opinion that much improvement must be done to live up to the name “International Airport”.

In comparison, even Ho Chi Minh Airport (Tan Son Nhat International Airport) is far more modern, organized and cleaner than Penang International Airport.
