The suspect was also charged under Section 108 (3) (f) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and National Registration Regulations 1990.
Hafizul pleaded not guilty after the charges were read out before Judge Nik Habri Muhamad.
On April 14 morning, Hafizul shot at his wife in an attempt to kill her at the KLIA 1 arrival hall.
His intended target, travel agency owner Farah Md Isa, was waiting at the arrival hall for her clients to return from umrah.
The suspect set off some firecrackers before opening fire at the victim at close range.
Her bodyguard managed to save her but was shot in the stomach. Hafizul then escaped to his car parked at Block C of the airport car park.
Police arrested Hafizul in Kota Baru at 3pm on April 15 after a two-day manhunt.
