    Airasia has always stated that they prefer to have one big departure hall with the pax walking to the planes rather than have small departure lounges at the gate. But MAHB wanted more retail space and created klia2.

     

    As for BKI, I think they are just bitching that their costs are now the same as those for FSCs and it is harder for them to be competitive. They want something bigger than T2 and low cost - T1 isn't it.

    The european style LCCT seems to be a good model to follow

     

    examples such as charles de gaulle terminal 2g

     

    while it has no aerobridges, it's large waiting hall is big and comfortable with enough stores and food outlets.

     

    My only complaint with 2G is it's poor connection with other terminals, but its still much better than KLIA's former LCCT

    news just in:

     

    Two explosions have been reported at Zaventem airport in Brussels.

     

    Images on social media from the scene showed smoke rising from one of the terminal buildings. The cause of the explosions is unknown.

    Reports say the blasts were in the departures area and speak of casualties although this has not been confirmed.

     

    The blasts come four days after the capture in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris attacks in November.

    Belgian media say the airport is being evacuated. It has been closed to flights. Rail transport to the facility has been halted.

     

    Social media reports from the scene speak of panic as people fled the airport buildings.

    Images showed a swathe of shattered glass on one of the buildings.

     

    Other reports say at least one explosion was close to the American Airlines check-in area but again this has not been confirmed.
