Kuala Lumpur’s new terminal ‘safe for use’
Low-cost carriers using Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) during its inaugural opening this Friday are expected to run into "hiccups" despite the airport being deemed safe for operations.
KLIA2 is touted as the world’s largest low-cost airline terminal.
"Without a doubt, there will surely be normal teething problems and hiccups. However, the airport can operate and is safe for use," a government official said.
AirAsia, which handles some 500 flights a day accounting for 80% of the airport’s business, has expressed concern that the ongoing works at the new airport would hamper security with regard to the disembarkation and transfer of passengers.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd has alleged that AirAsia wanted a museum and spa in the soon-to-be-opened airport.
MAHB also alleges that AirAsia has refused to use the passenger processing system provided by private firm SITA, insisting instead on a manual check-in system.
