  1. China's foreign minister and others are already reacting to the airline's issues with news commentaries and sending ships to area. Where are our ministers and transport minister ? What a slop ! Malaysia is always behind people. They are tweeting instead !! What nonsense !

    Search and rescue already started since went missing ....


  2. Believe only apron is piled, the rest of un-piled taxiway expect to settle about 1 meter in 3 years. Don't think any contractor can be liable if this condition is made known to MAHB and MAHB preferred to top up later.

     

     

    Increased in building size is believed to accommodate more shops and eateries.

     

    Increase in building size is to handle more passenger traffic up to 45 million, but base on MAHB forecast, KLIA2 will reach 45m passenger traffic in 2028+-. event Airasia forecast KLIA 2 can reach 45m passenger traffic in 2020. seriously event i thinking KLIA2 is a bit small ......

    Don't think taxiway is un-piled, maybe we can see the construction photo weather is piled or not.


  3. Yes, MAHB got a lot of explaining to do... Its not good that a project that is already more than two years late slips further. Not good at all.

     

    If follow the klia2 project, final revised design only fix on 4th quarter 2010 after add new requirement from Airasia... 1st design is in 2009.

    construction just 2 year++ from 2011 to now reach 90% progress is quite good for an airport project, just MAHB over optimist on opening date.


  4. KLIA2 Operational By Early June, Says Abdul Rahim

     

    KOTA KINABALU, March 17 (Bernama) -- Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri said he is confident KLIA2, the new low-cost airport, will be ready and operational by early June this year.

     

    He said construction is over 80 per cent completed with the third runway already paved, adding airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) and implementing teams are working day and night to ensure the works are completed on schedule.

     

    "Based on the briefings and my working visit to the KLIA2 construction site on Friday, I have full confidence that the high-impact national project will be operational in early June as scheduled," he told Bernama here today.

     

    Abdul Rahim said the airport will spur the nation's airline industry and make Malaysia the premier tourism destination in Southeast Asia.

     

    "Air Asia and Malindo Airways, which will begin operations later this month, will be KLIA2's anchor airlines, besides other low-cost airlines like Tiger Airways and Cebu Pacific.

     

     

    "The airport's RM4 billion development cost is said to be cheap compared to other airports in the world, the quality is good, and it employs local consultants, project managers and contractors," he said.

  5. Pakatan reps concerned about further delays to KLIA2

     

    Two Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers have raised their concern over the possibility of the new KLIA2 terminal - which is supposed to become operational on June 28, this year - may be delayed further as earthworks to build the runway, the control tower, its systems and apron (ie the places to park the aircraft) are far from completion.

     

    This is despite Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd having announced last month that the terminal is 80 percent completed.

     

    300x206x22d76327a8c74592cb8b08a4c5cbf949Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua and Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar said at best, it would take at least another six months for it to be completed.

     

    The construction cost of the terminal and runway has ballooned from RM1.7 billion in 2009 to RM4 billion and it had been delayed many times.

     

    Yes, the terminal may be 80 percent completed but the four areas mentioned still have a lot of work to be done. Judging by the earthworks, including the soil to the runway from the peat land having yet to be settled, it would take some time, at least another six months, for it to be completed, said Pua, showing the photographs taken by them two weeks ago.

     

    The terminal was originally targetted for completion in late 2011 but its completion has been postponed several times.

     

    Following this, Nurul Izzah and Pua have urged Transport Minister Kong Cho Ha to arrange for the MPs to visit the facility.

    Just wait and see, MAB is project owner, they should be more info on progress compare to PKR, new runway MAB early already said only ready end of Year. as long main pubic parking, main terminal and half satellite plus half of Apron ready should be ok to used liao. current LCCT only 32 gate KLIA2 have 72 gate.


  6. The control tower is still under construction. Would be amazed if the control tower is able to fully operate in June (don't forget they still need to undergo testing & commissioing of the equipment inside the buidling). I can see some piling machine between the apron & taxiway too. Wonder which acitivity is still at 'foundation' stage ?

     

    without tower still should be ok, 3th runway only ready on December, plane at KLIA2 still need taxi to KLIA runway to take off. but new tower also used for plane ground traffic control. anyway MAB say KLIA2 will complete at May, than start testing and commission before 28 june.
