LOW
COST CARRIER TERMINAL
The
Low Cost Carrier Terminal is specifically built at KL International
Airport to cater to the growing passengers of the Low Cost Airlines,
especially the passengers of Malaysia's first 'no-frills' airline,
Air Asia. It is located 20km away from the KLIA Main Terminal Building
(MTB). Construction of the LCC Terminal was on a fast track basis
beginning June 2005 at an approximate cost of RM 108 million.
The
35,290 square meters terminal is designed and built to suit the
Low Cost Carrier (LCC) business model that requires basic terminal
facilities and amenities. With this in mind, the terminal is designed
to facilitate the passengers' movement of international and domestic
departures/arrivals within a single floor operation area. Thus it
doesn't require travellators, escalators and aerobridges to be provided
at the terminal.
The
operation of the LCC Terminal is supported by the existing parking
apron and additional infrastructures such as car parks, surface
access, kerbside road and other utilities. This terminal is capable
of handling 10million passengers a year and there is scope for further
expansion of up to 15 million passengers, if required in the future.
The
LCC Terminal was opened for familiarization on 9th March 2006 and
will be fully operational on 23rd March 2006. This terminal is managed
and operated by Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd.
