KLIA to have third terminal - Business News | The Star Online


KUALA LUMPUR: A new terminal is expected to
be built at the KL International Airport (KLIA) to expand its total capacity to
100 million passengers a year, said Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abd Aziz
Kaprawi.

Airport operator
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is expected to submit a proposal for the
airport’s third terminal in the next two to three years after detailed studies,
he told Malaysian reporters on Malindo Air’s maiden flight to  Perth, Australia.

He said last year,
KLIA’s main terminal handled 23 million passengers a year, almost near its full
capacity of 25 million passengers, while klia2 is also reaching its full
capacity of 45 million passengers.

The Government wants
to leverage on Kuala Lumpur’s strategic location
and make Malaysia a regional
air transit hub, he said, pointing out the aviation industry’s bright prospects
especially in Asean, India
and China with the improved
air connectivity wooing more visitors to Malaysia.

Meanwhile, he said
MAHB would take proactive steps to improve facilities at klia2 to enhance the
passenger experience. - Bernama
